## Description

Automation 2040 W Mini is a compact Pico W / RP2040 powered monitoring and automation board. It has a host of useful features for controlling other bits of electronic and industrial kit - analog channels, powered outputs, buffered inputs and a relay. Perfect for controlling fans, pumps, solenoids, chunky motors, electronic locks or static LED lighting (up to 40V). All the channels (and the buttons) have an associated indicator LED so you can see at a glance what's happening with your setup, or test your programs without having hardware connected. We've even left some space for labelling whatever you've got connected up, be it a hidden trap door for surprising your enemies, a coffee machine with an associated API, or a mechanism for dispensing tasty treats to your pets (or family) remotely. 🔌 If you need more digital inputs, outputs and relays check out the larger sibling -  Automation 2040 W. ⚡ Want to mount this board inside a switch cabinet or other electrical enclosure? We have DIN rail mounting clips! Features Raspberry Pi Pico W Aboard Dual Arm Cortex M0+ running at up to 133Mhz with 264kB of SRAM 2MB of QSPI flash supporting XiP Powered and programmable by USB micro-B 2.4GHz wireless 3 x 12-bit ADC inputs up to 40V 2 x digital inputs up to 40V 2 x digital sourcing outputs at V+ (supply voltage) 4A max continuous current 2A max current at 500Hz PWM 1 x relay (NC and NO terminals) 2A up to 24V 1A up to 40V 3.5mm screw terminals for connecting inputs, outputs and external power 2 x tactile buttons with LED indicators Reset button 1 x Qw/ST connector for attaching breakouts M2.5 mounting holes Fully assembled No soldering required. C/C++ and MicroPython libraries Schematic Power Board is compatible with 12V, 24V and 36V systems Requires supply 6-40V Can provide 5V up to 0.5A for lower voltage applications Software Our C++/MicroPython libraries provide a straightforward way to interface with the functions on this board. You'll get best performance using C++, but if you're a beginner we'd recommend using our batteries included MicroPython build for ease of getting started. Download pirate-brand MicroPython (you'll need the `picow` .uf2) Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Pico MicroPython examples MicroPython function reference C++ examples C++ function reference Check out our Getting Started tutorial for a walkthrough of Automation features and functions and how to program it using MicroPython. Getting Started with Automation 2040 WConnecting Breakouts The Qw/ST connector on Automation 2040 W Mini makes it super easy to connect up Qwiic or STEMMA QT 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. Breakout Garden breakouts that don't have a Qw/ST connector can be connected using a JST-SH to JST-SH cable plus a Qw/ST to Breakout Garden adaptor. Want to use >2 breakouts at the same time? Try this adaptor! List of breakouts currently compatible with our C++/MicroPython build.NotesDo not use to switch mains voltages!About Pico W Aboard Our new Pico W Aboard products come with a built in Raspberry Pi Pico W. This means you get all the advantages of a RP2040 microcontroller - a speedy fast dual-core ARM processor, a dynamic, growing ecosystem and a choice of different programming methods to experiment with. Most excitingly though, Pico W has wireless connectivity, so your Pico/RP2040 devices can communicate with each other, and the internet! 🌍 Wireless is very new to Pico/RP2040 - be aware that things will move fast and change! Software support (wireless examples, tutorials, CircuitPython support etc) will take a little while to catch up. If you're an absolute beginner to Pico/RP2040, you might have a better experience with wireless if you wait until everything is a little more settled.
