“Delivered quickly and worked perfectly. I don't have an oscilloscope and need to check the outputs on SKR Pico microcontroller running GRBLHal. I loaded the Scoppy firmware onto the Pico W and connected it to my tablet with an OTG cable and I have an oscilloscope. It confirmed that there was no output on the 4th axis and I found the issue in the code. Scoppy will also work with wifi as well but I haven't tried that yet.
The SKR Pico board is powered by the RP2040 so just shows you how versatile this Pico processor is.

“Seems that Pimoroni pirates are the only ones with a solder station and steady hands these days. The Pico W works as it should, arrived super quickly with pre-soldered headers (!). Now, it's my turn to dust off my rusty Python.”
“Pimoroni, as ever, provided a rapid service and the two Pico W H boards arrived safely.
After a few web searches the boards were flashed with MicroPy and we were away!
Great little board.
Knocking together a basic web served weather station currently and another iot project involving relays (mostly for Halloween prop control )
UPDATE: unfortunately one of the Pico units failed after a short while, but Pimoroni customer service provided an excellent, speedy solution. Now have the basic weather unit working with one Pico, plus an experimental line following "robot" (just for the Grandchildren you understand!!)”
“A great introduction to these little microcontrollers. Very convenient to have the headers pre-soldered - the board went straight onto my solderless breadboard, and I started programming right away. If I can get my code working entirely correctly on these boards, I will want a lot more of them. They seem to be an ideal replacement for the medium scale PICs that are becoming impossibly expensive.”
