Design and Performance Analysis of Raspberry Pi Pico W Microcontroller for IoT Applications

The IoT has transformed the manner in which devices communicate and interact and has provided unprecedented possibilities of smart systems in different fields.This paper will provide a complete design and performance analysis of the Raspberry Pi Pico W microcontroller as an inexpensive and useful platform to use in IoT applications.Raspberry Pi Pico W with the RP2040 dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ chip and in-built wireless connectivity is an attractive product in terms of processing power, low power usage, and low price.The experimental analysis of the software, its architecture, wireless communication functionality, and real-world performance measurements is performed.We are going to evaluate based on latency, power consumption analysis and throughput analysis in a variety of IoT applications such as environmental monitoring, home automation, and industrial sensing applications.The findings indicate that Pico W can record response times less than 100ms in normal IoT applications, less than 1.3mW in the sleep level, and approximately 50 meters on a stable WiFi connection.The study can be of great importance to developers and researchers who want to deploy scalable and efficient IoT applications based on the Raspberry Pi Pico W platform.
