Description

The Waveshare RP2350 AMOLED Touch Display Development Board is a feature-rich embedded platform centered on the Raspberry Pi RP2350A dual-core microcontroller. It combines a high-quality 1.8-inch AMOLED panel with a capacitive touch overlay, driven by an FT3168 controller, providing a sharp, responsive interface for user applications. The onboard 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) enables precise motion sensing for orientation and activity tracking.

Architecturally, the board provides robust I/O expansion via QSPI and I2C buses, interfacing with dedicated SH8601 and FT3168 controller chips. Power management is handled through a USB Type-C connector with integrated charging circuitry for an optional 3.7V lithium battery, facilitating mobile and wearable operation. With 16MB of NOR flash and 520KB of SRAM, the platform supports complex firmware developed in MicroPython, Arduino, or bare-metal C/C++ environments, making it an ideal choice for rapid prototyping of interactive IoT devices, portable diagnostic tools, and smart wearable interfaces.

Key Features

  • 1.8-inch AMOLED display with 368x448 resolution and 16.7 million colors for vibrant visual output.
  • Capacitive touch screen controlled by an FT3168 chip for smooth, multi-point interaction.
  • Dual-core RP2350A microcontroller (ARM Cortex-M33 / Hazard3 RISC-V) running at up to 150 MHz.
  • Integrated 6-axis IMU sensor combining a 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer for motion detection.
  • Onboard audio codec enables high-fidelity sound recording and playback capabilities.
  • Built-in real-time clock (RTC) chip for accurate timekeeping in battery-backed applications.
  • USB Type-C interface for programming, debugging, and power supply (5V operation).
  • Comprehensive power management with support for 3.7V Li-ion battery charging and discharging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What programming environments are supported by the Waveshare RP2350 board?

The board is fully supported by MicroPython, the Arduino IDE, and C/C++ toolchains like the official Raspberry Pi Pico SDK. You can flash firmware via the USB Type-C port. For MicroPython, drag the UF2 file to the mounted drive. For Arduino, install the Raspberry Pi Pico board package via the Board Manager. Bare-metal development requires setting up the RP2350 toolchain in your preferred IDE.

How do I power the board for portable, battery-operated projects?

The board includes a charging circuit for a 3.7V lithium-ion/polymer battery (connector type: MX1.25). Connect the battery to the designated terminals. The USB Type-C port can simultaneously charge the battery and power the system. In sleep modes, the RTC and IMU can be powered from the battery for extended operation. Ensure your firmware manages power states to maximize battery life.

How do I interface with the capacitive touch screen and IMU sensor in code?

The capacitive touch is handled by the FT3168 controller over I2C. Use the provided libraries to read touch coordinates. The 6-axis IMU (accelerometer and gyroscope) also communicates via I2C. For Arduino, include the Adafruit_Sensor and Adafruit_BNO055 (or similar) libraries. In MicroPython, use I2C commands to read registers from the sensor's specific address. Example code is available in the Waveshare wiki.
