6. Upute za postavljanje
6.1 Connecting the USB Port Adapter
The RP2350-Tiny development board connects to a host computer via the provided USB Port Adapter and FPC cable.
- Carefully connect one end of the FPC cable to the 8-PIN FPC connector on the RP2350-Tiny board. Ensure the cable is inserted correctly with the contacts facing the appropriate direction.
- Connect the other end of the FPC cable to the corresponding 8-PIN FPC connector on the USB Port Adapter.
- Plug the USB Type-C end of the USB Port Adapter into your computer.
Upon successful connection, the board should be recognized by your computer, typically as a mass storage device for drag-and-drop programming.
6.2 Postavljanje softverskog okruženja
To develop applications for the RP2350-Tiny, you will need to set up a development environment. The board supports C/C++ and MicroPython.
- For C/C++ Development: Utilize the Pico C/C++ SDK. This SDK can be used from the command line or integrated with popular development environments like Visual Studio Code and Eclipse. Refer to the official Raspberry Pi Pico documentation for detailed setup instructions.
- For MicroPython Development: MicroPython is a full implementation of the Python 3 programming language optimized for embedded hardware. You can flash a MicroPython firmware to the board and then use a serial terminal or an IDE like Thonny for programming.

7. Operating the RP2350-Tiny
7.1 Programming via USB (Drag-and-Drop)
The RP2350-Tiny supports drag-and-drop programming, which is a convenient way to upload firmware or MicroPython scripts.
- With the board connected to your computer via the USB Port Adapter, press and hold the BOOTSEL button on the USB Port Adapter while plugging it into your computer (or press BOOTSEL and then RESET if already connected).
- The board will appear as a mass storage device (e.g., "RPI-RP2").
- Drag and drop your compiled firmware (.uf2 file for C/C++ or .py file for MicroPython) onto this drive.
- The board will automatically reboot and run the new program.
7.2 GPIO Usage
The 28 multi-function GPIO pins can be configured for various purposes, including digital input/output, analog input (ADC), serial communication (SPI, I2C, UART), and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
- Refer to the GPIO pinout diagram in Section 5 for pin assignments.
- When programming, ensure that the correct pin numbers and functions are specified in your code.
- Be mindful of voltage levels; the RP2350-Tiny operates at 3.3V logic.
7.3 Upravljanje napajanjem
The RP2350-Tiny supports low-power sleep and dormant modes to conserve energy in battery-powered applications. Consult the RP2350A datasheet and SDK documentation for details on implementing these power-saving features in your code.
8. Održavanje i njega
- Rukovanje: Always handle the development board by its edges to avoid touching components, especially the pins, which can be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- Skladištenje: Store the board in an anti-static bag when not in use, in a cool, dry environment.
- Čišćenje: If necessary, gently clean the board with a soft, dry brush or compressed air. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
- Napajanje: Ensure a stable 5V power supply when connecting via USB. Over-voltage can damage the board.
9. Rješavanje problema
- Board not recognized by computer:
- Ensure the FPC cable is securely connected to both the RP2350-Tiny and the USB Port Adapter.
- Try a different USB cable or USB port on your computer.
- Verify that you are holding the BOOTSEL button while connecting the USB adapter to enter mass storage mode.
- Program not running after upload:
- Confirm that the correct .uf2 or .py file was dragged to the "RPI-RP2" drive.
- Check your code for errors.
- Ensure the board automatically rebooted after the file transfer. If not, manually reset the board.
- Peripherals (e.g., I2C, SPI) not working:
- Double-check your wiring against the GPIO pinout diagram.
- Verify that the correct GPIO pins are initialized and configured in your software.
- Ensure external components are properly powered and connected.
- Board gets hot:
- Disconnect power immediately.
- Check for short circuits on the board or in your external connections.
- Osigurajte unos voltage is within the specified range (5V via USB).
