The Stamp was created to allow you to use the Raspberry Pi RP2040 in your designs without having to solder small-pitch QFN chips or worry about lots of external circuitry.
All you need to get you started is a 5V supply or a LiPo battery. The Stamp will take care of the charging and switching the power sources.
The castellated edges with 2mm pitch can be hand-soldered directly to a carrier board or by using pin headers. You can find footprints for many PCB programs here.
At only 1 by 1 inch, the Stamp packs a lot of features:
and of course, everything that comes with the Raspberry Pi RP2040 itself:
The RP2040 comes with a pre-programmed ROM UF2 Bootloader, by pulling the BOOTSEL pin low and resetting, or by double-pressing the RESET button (if the FW supports it), you can upload new firmware using the USB disk drive.
In addition to the Stamp, we also offer a reference design - the RP2040 Stamp Carrier.
The CircuitPython firmware for the Stamp comes with a built-in board file for the Carrier, you can access it using import stamp_carrier_board as board
. After that, you can access all the Carrier pins and interfaces like you would with any other CPY board.
