No. Must use the Pico2 firmware. But your programs should work. Likely--for the most part. (I don't know enough to know the differences, though, and haven't yet received the Pico2 I ordered.) PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on fruitoftheshed |

using picomite lcd then all you should see is a speed improvement. not the spi display but the program. frame buffers seem different. same with existing vga programs. olimex hdmi is something else but seems to be worth using with the support so far |

Designs 1 and 2 are conventional AFAIK. The Pico 2 should drop straight in. You need to load it with the Pico 2 VGA version of MMBasic *without* USB support. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

No I look up to both of you , But sometime not as much as I look up to Mick, because he's upper class and has innate Breeding. I Know My Place.

ROFL!!!! You, sir, are an utter nutter. You (and everyone else) have two problems: finding the current firmware and knowing how to use it, given that there is no manual. :) Phil's link will get you to the firmware - just make sure you use the correct uf2 in the zip. This may or may not help with discovering how to use it: MMBasic catchup.pdf (It's getting out of date already) (If you could see me in my hovel the last things you would even consider are "upper class" and "innate breeding". But you are lucky. When I were a lad there was twelve of us sittin' in a swamp round a candle and if it were cold we lit it!)

Thanks Mick for the MMBasic catchup document!  Timing perfect! I just returned from our holiday home after a looong stay there. No MMBasic-ing there for over 3 months (just breafly following the backshed on the phone from time to time). I have for a couple of days tried to catch up by reading many interesting threads and concluded that I was probably the only one being on holidays this summer.  Pluto |

Luxury! We had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before we went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down the mill, and pay the mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home... our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves singing "Hallelujah." And you try to tell the young people of today that ... they won't believe you. No, They won't. and we know Mick you were never no Peter "Tucker" Jenkins from Grange Hill, Some how Mick you don't strike me as Compressive School Material, You can Spell! ;) :) Thanks for the Pico 2 info ;) I'm looking forward to the Turbo Math Edited 2024-09-18 23:40 by Rickard5 I may be Vulgar, but , while I'm poor, I'm Industrious, Honest, and trustworthy!
