What is the DiP-Pi WiFi Master? | This is our second DiP-Pi based on the same PCB of DiP-Pi PIoT and is covering the most critical parts needed of the Raspberry Pi Pico wireless communication developments. They are: • Powered via Raspberry Pi Pico USB socket • ON/OFF slide switch functionality on all Powering Sources (including Raspberry Pi Pico USB powering) • RESET Button • WiFi networking • Embedded Micro SD card interface • Embedded 1-wire interface • Embedded DHT-11/22 Humidity/Temperature Interface • Plenty of informative LEDs • Plenty of ready-to-use Micro Python and C examples |
How the DiP-Pi WiFi Master is powered? | The DiP-Pi WiFi Master is powered through the Raspberry Pi Pico micro–USB Plug. |
How can I switch ON/OFF the system (DiP-Pi WiFi Master + Raspberry Pi Pico) without removing the micro–USB Plug? | You can switch the system ON/OFF using Slide Switch placed on the DiP-Pi WiFi Master. This switch will also put to OFF the Raspberry Pi Pico even if it is still connected to the micro–USB Plug (by using the 3V3_EN). |
Can I use ON/OFF Slide Switch for system Boot Mode instead of removing micro–USB Plug? | Yes, you can use the ON/OFF Slide Switch as a Boot Mode initiator. This will save you from the very unhandy process of removing the micro–USB Plug from the Raspberry Pi Pico. |
Can I use the RESET button for the entering the Boot Mode instead of removing micro–USB Plug? | Yes, obviously. |
What other interfaces do I have on the DiP-Pi WiFi Master? | The DiP-Pi WiFi Master is a subset of the DiP-Pi PIoT so the only missing pars are the related to the powering. You still have SD Card Interface, DHT-11/22 and 1-wire. |
