A clean, modern, flat-design educational comparison infographic poster, landscape 16:9, titled at the top in large bold sans-serif: "Microcontroller Boards Compared", subtitle beneath: "Four popular boards for learning MicroPython."

Layout: a four-column comparison table on a light off-white background (#F7F9FC). Each column is a rounded-corner card with a subtle drop shadow and a distinct accent color on its top edge. A vertical row-label strip on the far left lists the eight attributes. Generous white space, thin divider lines, friendly textbook feel.

Column 1 (raspberry red #C7164E): Name Raspberry Pi Pico; image: top-down green Pico board with micro-USB at top, BOOTSEL button, RP2040 chip centered, gold castellated pin holes down both edges; Price $4; RAM 264 KB; Clock Speed 133 MHz; GPIO Pins 26; Wireless None; Typical Uses First coding projects, blinking LEDs, buttons, sensors, simple robots.

Column 2 (magenta-pink #E5398A): Name Raspberry Pi Pico W; image: green board like the Pico plus a small silver Wi-Fi module and curved white PCB antenna; Price $6; RAM 264 KB; Clock Speed 133 MHz; GPIO Pins 26; Wireless Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 5.2; Typical Uses Internet of Things, Wi-Fi web servers, wireless sensors, home automation.

Column 3 (deep purple #6A3FB5): Name Raspberry Pi Pico 2; image: green Pico-shaped board with RP2350 chip centered; Price $5; RAM 520 KB; Clock Speed 150 MHz; GPIO Pins 26; Wireless None; Typical Uses Bigger programs, more memory, edge AI/ML, advanced projects.

Column 4 (teal-blue #1389A6): Name ESP32; image: longer dark blue/black ESP32 DevKit board with silver metal-shielded module and zig-zag PCB antenna, micro-USB, two rows of pin headers; Price ~$6; RAM 520 KB; Clock Speed 240 MHz; GPIO Pins 34; Wireless Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2; Typical Uses Wi-Fi & Bluetooth IoT, smart home, mature ecosystem projects.

Row labels down the left strip (bold dark slate): Name · Board · Price · RAM · Clock Speed · GPIO Pins · Wireless · Typical Uses, each with a small monochrome line icon (price tag, memory chip, speedometer, row-of-pins, Wi-Fi waves, lightbulb).

Typography: one clean geometric sans-serif (Inter/Roboto style), bold headers, numbers slightly larger and bold so specs pop, high contrast, fully legible. Palette limited to the four accent colors plus dark slate (#2A2E3A) text on off-white. Footer bar: "Specifications verified June 2026. Sources: Raspberry Pi & Espressif official documentation." Overall: tidy vector flat-design infographic poster, balanced grid, lots of breathing room, no photographic clutter, suitable for a textbook or classroom screen.
