Hello Uktinkerer, What instructions are you following right now ? What 3 files are you referring to. There should be only one file which you can download from the product page ( https://ilabs.se/product/challenger-rp2040-wifi-ble-with-chip-antenna ), under Downloads. The instructions on how to flash...

Hi, Currently we do not have any other NFC antennas but if the requirements are there we have no problems in designing a new one. What would be an appropriate size for your application ? Using a flat flex cable connector is a pretty straight forward way of connecting a flexible NFC antenna to a cont...

Version 2.0 decoders are now available in the shop.

Not sure exactly what your use case is but simply comparing the WiFServer example between the Challenger RP2040 WiFi/BLE and the Pico-W I can see the following: Challenger RP2040 WiFi/BLE Sketch uses 157860 bytes (1%) of program storage space. Maximum is 8384512 bytes. Global variables use 73376 byt...

We're exited to announce that both the Challenger RP2040 WiFi/BLE as well as our new Challenger RP2350 WiFi6/BLE5 boards now can be used with ESP Hosted ( https://github.com/espressif/esp-hosted ) stack allowing for really high speed network transfers. High level support for this is already availabl...

Very cool, I will be playing with it this weekend

Hello Bernhard, The power supply have been designed to be able to source up to 1A with reasonable ripple. This was estimated from the requirements from Raspberry Pi for the RP2350 (650mA) and the ESP32-C6 (350mA) combined. In theory that would leave you without any budget for any external peripheral...

Good news,
The Challenger+ RP2350 WiFi6/BLE5 board is now merged into circuitpython main and will have official builds available from the Circuitpython site with their next official release.

We've noticed with the latest release of the Arduino BSP for the Challenger 840 boards there are 2 libraries missing from the package. The missing libraries can be found in the zip file below. Simply download and unzip into the "libraries" folder of the BSP and you should be good to go. Th...

No worries, happy hacking
