The Challenger+ BConnect board is a Feather-compatible development board utilising the dual-core Cortex-M33/RISCV RP2350 MCU from Raspberry Pi (as seen on the Pico 2).

It is built around the RP2350 microcontroller, which has powerful processing capabilities and an extensive range of peripheral support, making it ideal for diverse projects. The dual BConnect connectors allow the simultaneous operation of Bi2C and BSerial peripherals, expanding the board's compatibility with a variety of devices based on the BConnect standard.

With 8MB Flash memory and 8MB RAM, this board offers substantial storage and memory capacity, perfect for tackling complex projects and handling large datasets with ease. The decent memory allocation makes sure that even sophisticated and data-rich projects can be managed effectively.

The board has a versatile array of peripherals, including USB, GPIOs, ADCs, DACs, PWM, SPI, I2C, UART, PIO, and more. This wide range of connectivity options allows for easy integration with various sensors, actuators, and modules, offering the flexibility to bring your different projects to life and experiment a little.

The USB Type-C connector on the board provides both power and data transfer. Additionally, if a LiPo battery is connected, it will charge automatically when the USB cable is plugged in.
