The article says the badge has a "full raspberry pi", but from reading the badge docs, it's just a RP2350B MCU.

- simonw 1y agoWhat is the difference between that and a "full Raspberry Pi"? Is it that this thing just runs MicroPython and not a full Linux? I should fix that!
- simonw 1y agoThanks for calling this out, I put a strike through "full Raspberry Pi" and replaced it with "Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller" instead.
- tiagod 1y agoHi! They're very different. The Raspberry Pi is a full-on computer, it has a Broadcom ARM GPU/CPU, memory, runs Linux etc. The RP2040 and RP2350 are micro-controllers, such as the ones used on the Arduino. Usually you don't run any operating system on these, everything is bare metal. I liked your article though! Cheers
