Wire Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico 2 to your LAN and Internet

This video guide walks you through connecting a Raspberry Pi Pico, Pico 2, or any device using the RP2040 or RP2350 microcontroller to a LAN and the internet via an Ethernet cable. The setup uses the compact Wiznet W850io network module, which connects to the Pico via the SPI interface. The WIZ850io features the W5500 network IC, a TCP/IP hardwired chip with an embedded PHY, transformer, and RJ45 port, supporting data transfer rates of 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s. The software side is handled by an Arduino sketch, built on the SPI and Ethernet libraries, and uploaded to the Pico using the Arduino IDE.

The guide also highlights the ANAVI Terminal P, an open-source hardware breakout board designed for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico 2. This 2-layer PCB includes screw terminal blocks for easy connections, a reset button for convenience, and was developed using KiCAD, an open-source design tool. Its green solder mask and white silkscreen give the board a clean, professional look, making it a handy addition for projects involving the Raspberry Pi Pico.
