This board is epic. The quality is amazing and the possibilities are endless. I set up MQTT and can send any message via the internet from any integration.

The GU is a triumph of the blinky LED world. Excellent implementation of picographics will have you up and running in no time. Clever use of PIO as a framebuffer makes animations as buttery smooth as you'd like them to be. If you're considering a GU, I'd doubt you'll be disappointed. Pimoroni have outdone themselves with this board.

I am delighted with this. I intend to write a simulation of the very first computer game I ever played, backed in 1968, on an IBM 7094 (what passed for a mainframe in those days). If at first you can't get the programming to work, keep on trying. The Pico is a wayward little beast that does not always do what it is told, but does knuckle under in the end.

Beautiful hardware! Work in progress software. I'm really impressed with the quality of the display. On the software and documentation side, it needs a little bit of work, so it can be as plug-and-play as Circuit Python. Thank you for making this awesome board, Pimoroni.
