+ - You can also select old "Arduino Mbed OS RP2040 Boards" and install the latest version (4.2.4 at the time of writing 2025-04-16), but it will only support RP2040 = Pico1(W), and no temperature reading. Also it compiles slower, and many advanced features are not available. So it's not recommended any more.
 
-The RP2040 is supported by ConfigurableFirmata v2.11 or later. 
+> **! Note:** that version < 3.4 has a [bug in SERVO part](https://github.com/firmata/ConfigurableFirmata/pull/184), so it had to be disabled. You may manually download fixed code if you need SERVO, until v3.4+ is released.
