PicoMiteBTRP2350V6.03RC9.zip  NO USB console, NO serial console, JUST A BLUETOOTH CONSOLE Requirement Pico2-W or Pico Plus 2W. The firmware is basically standard PicoMiteRP2350 with the substitution of bluetooth for the CDC connection.

I seem to recall you saying a while back that BT would NEVER be supported ever, Peter....  At that time, you mentioned that the BT protocol is a complete bastard of a beast, and that getting BT to work at any level would require way more effort then you were prepared to put in. I really rather like to see you post these kinds of threads after saying you'll never do it. Is it just that you like the challenge perhaps, or have run out of other coding to work on? I bet you dream C code at night.  Edited 2026-05-19 10:58 by Grogster Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Hello Have tested the PicoMiteBT version, and it works ...  I have tried using a Windows 11 computer, and TeraTerm. "I am as happy as a penguin in a microwave", quote from QI TV series  /Peter63 |

Xmodem and Autosave now working. Build is tested up to 396MHz on a Pico Plus 2W. If using on Linux note the change to the manual. The fix was part firmware and part the bridge so both are needed. The code is a standard PicoMite RP2350 build with the USB CDC interface swapped for a BLE NUS interface. It does not have any other bluetooth or web functionality PicoMiteBTRP2350V6.03RC10.zip PicoMiteBT.pdf |

I've created a standalone MMbasic specific terminal for BLE NUS. You can use this instead of the bridge. Should work on Windows or Linux as long as Bleak is installed (pip install bleak). Just open a command window and execute the python command. e.g. python ble_term.py PicoMite-77BA Assuming you have the PicoMiteBT paired as explained in the manual then you then are in a vt100-like terminal. No teraterm or putty required. ctrl-] is a magic key for exiting and invoking xmodem ble_term.zip PicoMiteBT.pdf  Edited 2026-05-19 23:57 by matherp |

Just trying to catch up (futile) guys and already baffled: BT on a RP2350B device?  What gives? |

"Requirement Pico2-W or Pico Plus 2W." The latter uses the B version and has PSRAM. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

I have a Pico 2 W connected to my android phone using "Serial Bluetooth Terminal (Kai Morich)". Works nicely with single commands but I want to install a a full program. Is there a simple way to take a program created in "Quickedit" on the phone, and upload and save it into the Pico 2W. Acutely aware of the lack of a "ctrl" button on the Samsung phone keyboard. A little walk through on installing a program from an android phone will be much appreciated. |

I didn't RTFM. To send control characters you use one of the macros and set it to HEX mode. Working nicely now. Range is very reasonable. |

Hi This opens up a few nice possibilities. Progress so far: Works fine on the IPhone13 as a text interface, but program editing not really possible. That's OK, I'll edit on Laptop. Works fine on my Windows 10 laptop, almost as if it was running over serial to teraterm. Would be nice to be able to cut and paste to XMODEM file path/name. On a windows 11 laptop, /settings/bluetooth/Add device shows connecting....connected, then 2 seconds later shows 'not connected' ble_term says scanning for pico-RP2350, not found, retry. Maybe I try different Windows bluetooth drivers? Edited 2026-06-01 20:59 by crez |
