The new Raspberry Pi Pico adds WiFi and possibly Bluetooth
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has just announced a new line of boards in the Raspberry Pi Pico family. The Raspberry Pi Pico W is the headliner here. It takes the immensely popular Pico they launched last year and adds WiFi capabilities to it! This raises the price a bit from the original $4 to around $6. They have an order page open and available, but the links always seem to be updated at the resellers.
Another interesting thing to note is that it looks like this board will likely have Bluetooth capabilities in the future as the wireless chip has it built in already, but not yet enabled.
Savvy readers of spec sheets will note that the CYW43439 supports both Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low-Energy: we didn't enable Bluetooth on the Pico W at launch, but we might at the future.
In addition to Pico, they are also launching Pico H and Pico WH, which come with pre-filled headers.
Check their announcement for more information and an overview of some software information.
