Bradán Lane STUDIO Explorer Badge RP2040
by Bradán Lane STUDIO
The “Explorer Badge” is a CircuitPython board with integrated features to provide an all-in-one learning device. It has been inspired by Adafruit’s Circuit Express series.
The combination of the RP2040 with 8MB of Flash and a wide array of integrated hardware, makes the Explorer Badge an excellent hardware choice for learning CircuitPython.
Check out the Tutorials for an introduction to Python and CircuitPython on the Explorer Badge.
Technical Details:
- Raspberry Pi RP2040
- 8MB FLASH
- 2KB EEPROM
- 1.54” 200*200 ePaper display (either BW or BWR)
- 9 Neopixels
- 9 Touch Sensors
- 3-Axis Accelerometer (on the round version)
- IR (receiver and emitter)
- I2C STEMMA-QT
- sound (both PWM and I2S support)
- I2S pins may optionally be used as general IO pins
- LiPo Battery Charging (on the round version)

Absolute Newest
Every time we commit new code to CircuitPython we automatically build binaries for each board and language. The binaries are stored on Amazon S3, organized by board, and then by language. These releases are even newer than the development release listed above. Try them if you want the absolute latest and are feeling daring or want to see if a problem has been fixed.
Previous Versions of CircuitPython
All previous releases of CircuitPython are available for download from Amazon S3 through the button below. For very old releases, look in the OLD/ folder for each board. Release notes for each release are available at GitHub button below.
Older releases are useful for testing if you something appears to be broken in a newer release but used to work, or if you have older code that depends on features only available in an older release. Otherwise we recommend using the latest stable release.
