“Fantastic board. I love the PSRAM that allows bigger projects, and bluetooth works well with peripherals such as the small bluetooth keyboard found on this site. The QWIC connector is also nice, I use it to connect to a Seesaw encoder with I2C interface. The large flash also opens opportunities but I have not used those yet.”
“I would definitely give it 5 stars if more libraries were compatible with it. I'm sure they're working on it as we speak. What more could you ask for in an mcu. This thing is LOADED with freatures. It's definitely worth buying at less than $20 US. Two thumbs up.”
“Very nice board, I was interest the most about the memory, 16MB Flash and 8MB PSRAM are awesome. If you intend to use it with the pico-c SDK I'd recommend you to check the sparkfun pico, allocator based on the tlsf allocator. It works well but I had some problems about corruption with the maximum clock speed for 3.3v that is 109MHz but I down clocked a bit and it works fine. Anyway great product, good manufacturing and packaging.”
“As hardware, 5-star. The usual Pimoroni excellent build and features. Software for a Micropython user is a different story. Having put the board to one side for the last 4 months and used the Pico 2W, I tried again. With release 0...12 everything works as expected and to my surprise so does the latest Micropython Pico 2 W build (you miss out on the additional PSRAM). So at some point the software has caught up. 5-star all round now.”
