A simulation of how the part behaves — not a recording of mine. Bench photos go in the evidence below.

1. 01 · System→

   An RP2040

   Two Arm Cortex-M0+ cores at up to 133 MHz and 264 KB of SRAM, on a board that costs less than lunch.

2. 02 · Processing→

   Little machines beside the cores

   Next to the cores sit programmable I/O blocks — tiny state machines running their own instructions, so a timing-critical signal never waits for the CPU to catch up.

3. 03 · Output■

   Exact pulses

   Which means exact output: LED strips, protocols the chip doesn't speak natively, signals that have to land on the microsecond.
