Waveshare RP2350 7-Inch 800×480 LCD Touch Development Board

Description

The Waveshare RP2350 development board is a comprehensive platform for advanced embedded Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and IoT applications. At its core is the Raspberry Pi-designed RP2350B microcontroller, featuring a unique dual-core, dual-architecture design that allows developers to choose between ARM Cortex-M33 or Hazard3 RISC-V processors, each capable of running at speeds up to 150 MHz. This flexibility is paired with substantial onboard memory, including 16 MB of Flash and 2 MB of PSRAM, to handle demanding graphical and data-processing tasks.

The board integrates a vibrant 7-inch capacitive touchscreen with an 800×480 resolution, providing a responsive and clear interface for control panels, dashboards, and interactive devices. Connectivity is a key strength, offering industrial-grade interfaces such as CAN and RS485 for robust network communication, alongside standard UART, I2C, and sensor ports. The inclusion of 12 programmable PIO (Programmable Input/Output) state machines enables precise timing control for custom peripheral interfaces, making it suitable for motor control, LED matrices, or custom communication protocols.
