Image of Board

The Melopero Shake RP2040 is a powerful development board based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller, programmable in C/C++, MicroPython, CircuitPython and Arduino.

The board features:

  • 16MB of FLASH Memory
  • 3.7-4.2 LiPo battery charger (200mA charge curret)
  • Battery monitor (it sends an alert when the battery voltage drops at 3.4V)
  • Reset and boot buttons (no need to detach/attach the board to enter boot mode)
  • Qwiic/Stemma QT connector for attaching lots of Melopero, Adafruit and * SparkFun sensors
  • Classic Feather pinout for maximum compatibility
  • USB-C connector for powering, programming and charging
  • JST 2-pin connector for attaching the battery (we follow the Adafruit and SparkFun batteries polarity)
  • Green user LED on pin 13
  • RGB WS2812 LED (aka NeoPixel)
  • Orange LED for signaling the charging status
  • SWD header for debugging
  • 4 mounting holes
  • Programmable in C/C++, MicroPython, CircuitPython and Arduino

Dimensions: 2.0” x 0.9” x 0.28” (50.8mm x 22.8mm x 7.05/max height)

The RP2040 key features:

  • Dual ARM Cortex-M0+ @ 133MHz
  • 264kB on-chip SRAM in six independent banks
  • Support for up to 16MB of off-chip Flash memory via dedicated QSPI bus
  • DMA controller
  • Fully-connected AHB crossbar
  • Interpolator and integer divider peripherals
  • On-chip programmable LDO to generate core voltage
  • 2 on-chip PLLs to generate USB and core clocks
  • 30 GPIO pins, 4 of which can be used as analogue inputs
  • Peripherals
    • 2 UARTs
    • 2 SPI controllers
    • 2 I2C controllers
    • 16 PWM channels
    • USB 1.1 controller and PHY, with host and device support
    • 8 PIO state machines

CircuitPython 9.1.0-beta.0

This is the latest development release of CircuitPython that will work with the Shake RP2040.

Alpha development releases are early releases. They are unfinished, are likely to have bugs, and the features they provide may change. Beta releases may have some bugs and unfinished features, but should be suitable for many uses. A Release Candidate (rc) release is considered done and will become the next stable release, assuming no further issues are found.

Please try alpha, beta, and rc releases if you are able. Your testing is invaluable: it helps us uncover and find issues quickly.

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.
