Quite interesting ! I didn't know this channel even if I know Elektor for decades, let's explore.

Mooi overzicht ! Btw, i.v.m. stroomverbruik vanaf een accu, welk bord lijkt je het meest geschikt ?

Low-power operation is mostly a matter of software. Modern MCUs all offer low-power options but it is up to the programmer to make good use of them. Mbed OS has excellent low-power support, so the Nano RP2040 Connect would be a good candidate. But without any information about the target application it is impossible to to answer this question in any detail.

@@ElektorTV Thanks for this quick response. More technical details are of course needed to make the right choise. It's however more in general. The things I'm thinking of are more in the IoT sector with small solar/battery as PS.

@@PhG1961 The Nano RP2040 Connect is small but comes with a lot of things that may be unnecessary for your application. Personally, I'd try to stick to an ESP32 (or even ESP8266) as long as possible for connected applications.

@@ElektorTV Indeed, the ESP's are very well suited for this. As soon as this device was released I was very fond of it. Thanks for the advice !

are you wrongly saying ESP32 instead of the nina module?

what is the point of having the rp2040 when there is an esp32 on it. Isnt that better to use? or is it because of micropython support which will make it easy to use

Two reasons may be to make the board Mbed OS compatible (this requires an ARM core, so ESP32 is not compatible) and to make it fit the Arduino Nano form factor (the ESP32 module does not have enough I/O pins to populate the two extension connectors). But, as said in the video, almost any modern ARM-core-based MCU would do. MicroPython can also run on the ESP32, so that is not a valid reason.

You claimed in the video that the RP2040 can not be used in the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect. That is simply not true, since the board offers full support for the entire RP2040 software ecosystem. This also includes PIO. If you upload the Micropython firmware of the Raspberry Pi Pico to the Arduino board, it will work.

Please watch again kzitem.info/news/bejne/k3ukqZpsbayLhnY (i.e. 2 minutes from the beginning). The Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect is just another RP2040 board and as such it is, of course, supported by the RP2040 tools. Please do not mix up boards and Arduino IDE issues. What I tried to explain is that the current official Arduino IDE RP2040 integration only supports Mbed OS (which supports the RP2040), but the RP2040 SDK is not included. Also, there are no typical RP2040-only examples in this package. The reason is that they simply added the RP2040 as target to the existing Nano 33 BLE boards package. If you want the full RP2040 SDK inside the Arduino IDE with full access to everything RP2040, you still need Earle Philhower's boards package (which works great). I suppose Arduino will follow up with a more complete RP2040 boards package in the coming months. Or maybe they won't.
