About ADXL345: The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to ±16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is accessible through either an SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface.

zermatt_snow Displays a 320x240 image of Zermatt on the Adafruit 2.2" TFT LCD display with animated falling snow, utilizing a physics engine and the Embassy async framework to draw to an off-screen lcd-async framebuffer and dispatch via DMA without blocking the CPU. cargo run --example zermatt_snow Wiring is identical to the zermatt example. 1-Wire Examples ds18b20 Reads temperature from a DS18B20 waterproof temperature sensor probe over a 1-Wire bus using Embassy. It utilizes a custom, cycle-accurate PreciseDelay implementation to achieve jitter-free sub-microsecond timing required by the 1-Wire protocol on the RP2350's Cortex-M33 core. cargo run --example ds18b20 Wiring Schematic: Raspberry Pi Pico 2 +-----------------------+ | | | [ ] 1 40 [ ] USB | | [ ] 2 39 [ ] | | [ ] 3 38 [G]ND --+-------+ (black) | [ ] 4 37 [ ] | | | [ ] 5 36 [3]V3 --+---+ | | ... ... | | | | [ ] 20 21 [ ] ----+---+---|---+ (white, GPIO16) +-----------------------+ | | | | | | | | | +-----------------------------+ | | | |

Breadboard Layout:

About DS18B20: The DS18B20 is a 1-Wire digital thermometer that provides 9-bit to 12-bit Celsius temperature measurements. It communicates over a 1-Wire bus, requiring only one data line (and ground) to interface with the microcontroller. It has a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C with ±0.5°C accuracy from -10°C to +85°C. dht11 Reads temperature and humidity from a DHT11 sensor using the Embassy async framework. It utilizes the async API of the dht-sensor crate combined with our cycle-accurate PreciseDelay implementation. cargo run --example dht11 --release Note: Due to timing sensitivity of the DHT11 protocol during the bit-read phase, you must run this example in release mode.

ImportantPull-up Resistor:

If using a DHT11 module board: It likely already has a built-in pull-up resistor. No extra component is needed. If using a bare 4-pin DHT11 sensor: You must add an external 4.7kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up resistor between the DAT (Data) and VCC lines.

About DHT11: The DHT11 is a basic, ultra low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air, and spits out a digital signal on the data pin (no analog input pins needed). It has a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (±2°C accuracy) and humidity range of 20% to 90% RH (±5% accuracy). Wi-Fi & Matter Examples matter_wifi_light Implements a Matter-compatible Wi-Fi light bulb using the rs-matter stack. It uses BLE for commissioning and Wi-Fi for network connectivity, allowing you to add the Pico 2 W directly into Apple Home, Google Home, or Home Assistant! When toggled from your smart home app, it turns an external LED on and off. cargo run --example matter_wifi_light --release Provisioning in Home Assistant:

Run the example on your Pico 2 W. It will begin advertising over Bluetooth.

Open the Home Assistant companion app on your smartphone.

Go to Settings -> Devices & Services -> Add Integration -> Add Matter device.

When prompted for a setup code, enter the default 3497-0112-332 (or scan the QR code link printed in the terminal logs).

Home Assistant will connect to the Pico 2 W over BLE, ask for your Wi-Fi credentials, and securely transmit them to the device.

The Pico 2 W will connect to your Wi-Fi network and immediately appear as a standard light bulb. You can use the Home Assistant interface to toggle the light on and off!

The external LED wired to your Pico 2 W will instantly mirror the state!

Basic GPIO Examples blinky Blinks an external LED connected to GPIO15. This is useful for boards like the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, where the onboard LED is connected to the wireless chip rather than a standard microcontroller GPIO. cargo run --example blinky Wiring: Same wiring as the matter_wifi_light example.
