 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

IIRC the earlier version was discussed some time ago. John |

I think it was originally announced in February, but I don't think there was any python support at that time, so maybe that part is new. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Not sure about asking this but could the pico W plugged into one of Mixtel's VGA board make use of bluetooth keyboards.  Quazee137 |

I don't think the Webmite supports Bluetooth does it? The Pico W probably could, but you would need to sort out drivers etc. - and probably run Circuit Python on it. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

Ya missed what I was getting at. Can there be a PicoVGA-BT no web just the bluetooth for keyboard and sound. Far easier to get keyboard and speakers for. Also a PicomiteBT with the bluetooth so LCD and keyboard would make for a system that could be used to do coding at the park or coffee shop. A nice portable unit with a USB power bank. was just asking is all. Quazee137 Edited 2023-06-18 02:48 by Quazee137 |

As the built-in bluetooth on the Pico W isn't supported by MMBasic then it would have to be done with modules. A bluetooth to TTL adapter would get a keyboard input. Dunno about sound - there will be audio to bluetooth modules for it, I suppose. What you probably need for programming is a bluetooth link from a tablet into a COM port of the PicoMite, acting as the console. MMB4W on a laptop is a lot easier. :) Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

In theory, yes. In practice, no, unless someone writes the code. John |

I tried. But the simplest examples failed under the Windows IDE, which Peter also uses. Apparently it can only be successfully compiled on Linux. I then switched to the Arduino IDE. I am still convinced of the good performance of Bluetooth with the PICO W. So I built a Bluetooth Adapter Bluetooth Adapter by Pico W Maybe there is an option of a flash memory on its second core used by a second serial connection. Gregor Edited 2023-06-20 23:54 by aFox |
