RP2350-Touch-LCD-3.49 - RP2350 board with 3.49" IPS capacitive touch display 172x640 + 18650 battery - Waveshare 32775

Description

Development board based on the RP2350B microcontroller, designed for developing and testing advanced embedded applications, user interfaces, and multimedia systems. The integrated 3.49-inch IPS capacitive touch display with a 172 x 640 resolution enables the creation of clear, vertically oriented user interfaces without the need for external display modules.

The RP2350B microcontroller features a dual-core, dual-architecture design, allowing operation with either two ARM Cortex-M33 cores or two Hazard3 RISC-V cores, with a clock frequency of up to 150 MHz. This approach provides design flexibility and enables experimentation with the RISC-V architecture in a stable hardware environment.

The board integrates the AXS15231B LCD and touch controller, communicating via QSPI and I2C interfaces respectively, as well as an audio codec, microphone, TF card slot, 6-axis IMU, RTC chip, and an extensive set of communication interfaces and GPIOs. Support for low-power operating modes, drag-and-drop programming via USB, and compatibility with C/C++, MicroPython, and Arduino IDE make the board suitable for educational, prototyping, and product-oriented applications.

The availability of numerous GPIO pins, SPI, I2C, UART, USB interfaces, and ADC and PWM channels, combined with the 18650 lithium battery included in the kit, enables the development of self-powered prototypes and testing of devices in mobile operating conditions.
