Motion 2350 Pro - Advanced Robotics Controller for Beginners
It has been a few years since the first microcontroller by Raspberry Pi, the RP2040, was launched. Now, Raspberry Pi has introduced the latest upgraded processor, the RP2350. Introducing MOTION 2350 Pro, designed by Cytron, leveraging the new RP2350 processor. Built for beginner and intermediate users to experience the Pro version of the board. Ideal for those who want to build an advanced robot, minimize efforts on electronics, and focus on mechanics.
More Power, More Ports, More Connectivity
The Motion 2350 Pro features an advanced DC motor driver capable of controlling up to 4 brushed DC motors (3A Max each channel), with voltage ratings from 3.6V to 16V. Building a powerful robot with mecanum wheels has never been easier, thanks to this robust 4-channel driver! Additionally, the controller is equipped with 8-channel 5V servo ports, 8-channel GPIO breakout, and 3 Maker Ports, enabling you to connect a wide array of components and sensors. The highlight? The Motion 2350 Pro comes with a direct USB host for a USB joystick/gamepad, ensuring true plug-and-play convenience.
Favourable Maker Features
“Maker” features have been a signature of Cytron products. GPIO references printed on the silkscreen and colored headers help beginners connect components to the correct GPIO pins. The built-in quick test buttons and motor output LEDs allow for quick and convenient functional testing of the motor driver without writing any code. The user buttons and piezo buzzer are also beneficial for running simple commands, eliminating the need for extra wiring! Of course not to forget the LED indicator for each Digitial IO pin.
The MOTION 2350 Pro combines the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, the benefits of the Maker series, an advanced robot controller, and other useful features. Therefore, this board is compatible with the existing Raspberry Pi Pico ecosystem. Software, firmware, libraries, and resources developed for Pico should work seamlessly with the MOTION 2350 Pro allowing users to program in familiar environments such as Python (MicroPython, CircuitPython), C/C++, and Arduino IDE (coming soon).
CircuitPython is preloaded on the MOTION 2350 Pro, running a simple demo program right out of the box. Connect it to your computer via a USB-C cable and turn it on. You will be greeted by a melody tune and running LED lights. Press the GP20 and GP21 push buttons to run another demo code. With this demo code and quick test buttons, you can test the board the moment you receive it!

An all-in-one, USB-C powered controller for WS2812/Neopixel and APA102/Dotstar addressable LED strips.
Plasma 2350 is powered and programmable by USB-C and, because USB-C is capable of drawing up to 3A of power, that's enough to power a healthy chunk of LEDs. There's a useful button that you could use to switch between effects, plus a reset button 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.
You can buy a Plasma 2350 on its own, or in a kit with a USB-C cable and some super-cool LED stars, so you can get started lighting stuff up right away.
Features
- Powered by RP2350A (Dual Arm Cortex M33 running at up to 150MHz with 520KB of SRAM)
- 4MB of QSPI flash supporting XiP
- Compatible with 5V WS2812/Neopixel/SK6812 and APA102/Dotstar/SK9822 LEDs
- Screw terminals for attaching your LED strip.
- USB-C connector for power and programming (3A max)
- Qw/ST (Qwiic/STEMMA QT) connector
- Intriguing new SP/CE connector
- Reset, BOOT and a user button (the BOOT button can also be used as a user button)
- RGB LED
- Fully-assembled (no soldering required)
- Measurements: approx 61 x 22 x 12mm (L x W x H, including connectors)
- Programmable with C/C++ or MicroPython

Getting Started
Connecting Breakouts
If your breakout has a QW/ST connector on board, you can plug it straight in with a JST-SH to JST-SH cable, or you can easily connect any of our I2C breakouts with a JST-SH to JST-SH cable coupled with a Qw/ST to Breakout Garden adaptor.
We've also broken out the I2C, analog, UART and debug pins so you can solder things like breakouts or analog potentiometers directly to them (or solder on a strip of header and plug the whole shebang into a breadboard).
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.
