Interstate 75 W is a RP2350-based driver board for HUB75-style LED matrices - they're the chainable LED panels (32 x 32 or 32 x 64) that you sometimes see making up video walls or big advertising displays. It's designed to plug neatly into the back of a LED panel, and it provides a quick and easy way to whip up some scrolling signage or an eye-catching LED display for sensor outputs. I75 W has wireless connectivity so you can also use it to display information from the internet! ????

It's powered via USB-C, which should also be able to power a few connected panels happily, assuming you're not planning anything too eye-bleedingly bright. It has three handy user buttons (A, B and BOOT) and an onboard RGB LED.

We've also popped a Qw/ST connector on there, to make it super easy to plug in Qwiic or STEMMA QT breakouts.

Here are some things you could do!

???? Tap into an API and display bus times, plane tracking or traffic info.

???? Generate a big bold graph showing air quality or other sensor readings.

???? Create some ad hoc, easily adjustable signage for your classroom, maker stall or kebab shop.

???? Scroll greetz to your crew, just like in the old days:

Getting Started

You can find the most recent version of the MicroPython firmware and examples at the link below:

• Interstate 75 MicroPython firmware and examples

Connecting Breakouts

I75 W has a Qw/ST (AKA Qwiic/STEMMA QT) connector, so you can connect up Qw/ST breakouts easily using a JST-SH to JST-SH cable.

We've also broken out a bunch of useful pins along the bottom edge of the board (including I2C, analog, UART and debug pins) so you can solder things like breakouts or analog potentiometers directly to them.

Notes

• Measurements: approx 64.3 x 36 x 17mm (L x W x H, including connectors)

About RP2350

The RP2350 chip is the Double Quarter Pounder & Fries to the RP2040's Double Cheeseburger and can have one or more RISC-V burgers instead of either of the M33 ARMs, to stretch the metaphor.

In addition to the modern M33 ARM cores, there are sides of: more PIO capability, a variety of low power states for sipping electrons, a whole security system and some sprinklings of specialist digital video circuits to offload DVI/HDMI output.

You can expect a tasty boost in performance - our "real world" MicroPython tests are running up to 2x faster compared to RP2040, and floating point number crunching in C/C++ is up to 20x faster. The extra on-chip RAM will make a big difference when performing memory intensive operations (such as working with higher resolution displays) and even more can be added thanks to external PSRAM support.

RP2350 comes in two flavours - A (standard) and B (all the pins). The B chip has a stonking 48 usable GPIO pins, including 8 ADCs and 24 PWMs, and features on some of our new products. 

Swap out your Picade's arcade buttons for the crystal clear ones in this kit, pop one of the Picade Plasma PCBs over the button's spade terminals, hold the PCB in place with the spade connectors, and chain all of the Plasma PCBs together with the included cables. Use the host cable to connect the Plasma chain to your Picade X HAT, install our Picade Plasma software, and BAM, your Picade is 110% more colourful!

Each Picade Plasma PCB has four tiny, addressable, RGB LEDs (APA102) and a data in and data out JST connector. They're designed to fit neatly inside the recess on the back of our low-profile arcade buttons and shine their light through the clear plastic. The white PCB bounces an spilled light from the LEDs to give them extra GLOW.

Picade Plasma Features

• APA102 addressable RGB LEDs
• Chain-able
• JST connectors for data in and data out
• Designed for our low-profile arcade buttons
• Connects to the Hack Header on our Picade X HAT
• Python daemon

What's in the box?

10 x clear 30mm push-fit arcade buttons
10 x Picade Plasma PCBs
5 x 10cm button cables
4 x 30cm buttons cables
1 x 30cm host cable

Resources

As well as using Plasma buttons with Picade and Picade X HAT, you can connect them straight to GPIO on your Pi, or other microcontroller. This makes them ideal for DIY arcade builds and even building things like your own DIY midi controller.

You can read our tutorial on fitting Picade Plasma buttons to find out how to fit the buttons and control them with the Picade Plasma software.

• PCB dimensions: 24mm diameter, 5.75mm thick (including JST connector)
• LED brightness is limited to a sensible level in software. Adjust this at your peril!

The WIZnet W6100-EVB-Pico2 is a microcontroller board based on the Raspberry Pi RP2350 and fully hardwired TCP/IP controller W6100, with Ethernet via the W6100 and USB-C!

The board can also support PoE via the optional WIZPoE-P1 PoE add-on module.

The W6100-EVB-Pico2 pinout is directly connected to the GPIO of RP2350 as shown in the pinout image. It has the same pinout as the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 board. However, GPIO16, GPIO17, GPIO18, GPIO19, GPIO20, GPIO21 are connected to W6100 inside the board. These pins enable SPI communication with W6100 to use the Ethernet function. If you use the Ethernet function, these pins cannot be used for any other purpose.

MicroPython is not yet supported as the wiznet5k library does not yet support the W6100 chip. WIZnet are working on this. CircuitPython may support the chip in IPV4 mode only.

The RP2350 GPIO used inside W6100-EVB-Pico is as follows.

Apart from GPIO and ground pins, there are 7 other pins on the main 40-pin interface:

You may be wondering what the difference is between the different models of WIZnet boards we offer. This mostly comes down to the TCP/IP controller chip used.

Take a look at WIZnet's comparison table to identify the right board for your needs.
