RP2040 FlexiBoard is a bendable Raspberry Pi Pico clone made of flexible PCB (Crowdfunding)

Flexible Raspberry Pi Pico

[Update December 22: The project was previously called FlexiPi, but Raspberry Pi considered it infringed on its trademarks, so the name was changed to RP2040 FlexiBoard instead]. RP2040 FlexiBoard is a bendable Raspberry Pi RP2040 board made of flexible PCB with the same layout as the original Raspberry Pi Pico, but featuring a USB-C port instead of a micro USB port on the official board. This follows the Flexduino flex PCB clone of the Arduino UNO made by “EDISON SCIENCE CORNER”, but the smaller design of “TOP Gadgets” RP2040 FlexiBoard may make it potentially more useful since it could be inserted into tight or round enclosures. RP2040 FlexiBoard specifications: MCU – Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core Cortex-M0+ microcontroller @ 48 MHz (overclockable to 133 MHz) with 264KB SRAM Storage – 2MB QSPI flash USB – 1x USB Type-C 1.1 port used for power and programming Expansion 2x 20-pin 2.54mm pitch header […]
