#picoCalc
I have my steam deck set up as a desktop, and I am using that as a serial terminal to connect with a rpi pico handheld

I am programming in a way no-one ever intended

I have tackled the #BMP280 temperature/pressure #sensor on the #picoCalc. Byte level I2C programming (actually normal) in #MMBasic. 24 byte of calibration data and a lengthy calculation procedure included. And I have learned about weather service and actual air pressure:

I'm playing with creating some YT content. Going to try and create a mix of Code A Longs (targeting the #PicoCalc), like the magazine listings of yesteryear and quick start guides for programming on funky hardware.

My 3rd video, writing Hello World on a #m5stack #CardPuter.

In case you're buying a PicoCalc, I've set up a working repo here for initial "bring up" in Rust, I'll probably start with the existing RP2040, and eventually make my own mainboard with a pico footprint.

github.com/jamesmunns/c...

Started by making a block diagram and pinout map, so far.

Thanks to @erk.dev catching my oversight, enjoy a clearer version of the layout I had in mind for the picocalc :D

🕹️ Retro just got modern!
I checked out the Clockwork PicoCalc — a handheld powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico that runs C, C++, Python & Lua… all with just 264KB of RAM 😮

How much can you do with so little?

Exploring bifurcation on the PicoCalc is pure fun! 🤩🤓 #raspberrypi #ClockworkPi #PicoCalc #bifurcation #math #Feigenbaum Especially when operating the PicoCalc via USB-C cable from the Mac in iTerm2. 😎 I wrote a blog post about how to accomplish that (in German) … 👉 blog.metawops.de/gadgets/Pico...

Designed for those who found the company's earlier GameSHell, DevTerm, and uConsole a little modern, the PicoCalc is a loving throwback.

I got my #clockworkpi #PicoCalc in the mail while I was away at Fur-Eh.

Something I've been thinking about doing for a while is a code-a-long for some of the silly #handhelds I own. Last week I finally got of my arse. #ClockworkPi #PicoCalc

The Luckfox Lyra board for my Picocalc has arrived and is already installed.
Looks very good, but is missing a wifi interface.
Next stwps are:
1) Print the back cover with the USB port place.
2) Build the usb adapter cable.

Un cacharro retro que mezcla nostalgia con la complicación de un montaje electrónico. Ideal para programadores valientes y fans de lo vintage.

This is very cool. I want to try and get this running on the PicoCalc at some point :D

Oh hey @wezfurlong.org already has a bunch of Rust + PicoCalc stuff written, that certainly makes things easier:

The block diagram makes it more clear (IMO) how the board is set up. It's not a LOT more complex than the schematic, but a good overview.

PicoCalc update: I have the picocalc set up as a poststation pass-through, and I have a really simple keyboard I2C driver working now:

github.com/jamesmunns/c...

Going to do some of the other i2c commands while I'm here, then I guess getting the display is the next task?
