Got my #Clockwork #PicoCalc kit yesterday. It's quite nice, quite a solid device. Gonna have to learn MMBASIC

I need to pick my #picocalc back up, theres so many cool projects now https://youtu.be/wWV0JY7ota4

I've noticed that the picture of the guide in the manual bears a very strong resemblance to Clockwork Pi's #picoCalc
Well, shit. #oregontrail #basic #picocalc
I have tackled the #BMP280 temperature/pressure #sensor on the #picoCalc. Byte level I2C programming (actually normal) in #MMBasic. 24 byte of calibration data and a lengthy calculation procedure included. And I have learned about weather service and actual air pressure:
🧮 No i się zajarałem #PicoCalc, takim małym handheldem opartym o Raspi Pico (ale też wymiennie LuckFox Lyra). Fajne wykonanie, dwa aku 18650 (można tylko na jednym), porty na zewnątrz, klawiatura sterowana stm32. No fajne cacuszko. Open Hardware i Open Software #FOSS
No i emulatory! (m. in. C64 […]
I'm playing with creating some YT content. Going to try and create a mix of Code A Longs (targeting the #PicoCalc), like the magazine listings of yesteryear and quick start guides for programming on funky hardware.

Sunday noon fun: connecting a #dht22 to the #picoCalc and calculate the dew point from the temperature and humidity. It is a nice thing to just write a short BASIC program for trying out such a thing.

PicoCalc
After 3 months, my #picoCalc arrived. It was an easy build. Even if you have two left hands and five thumbs on each (like me). It is a Raspberry Pi pico based mini computer, which runs e.g. a BASIC interpreter (picoMite) and has accessible GPIO pins. Let the distraction begin! 🤣🤣🤣
New video on DevWithZachary!
I upgraded my PicoCalc with a Pico 2W and a 3D printed backplate, then explored community software like Micro Mac, Frotz, Picoware and an NES emulator.

🥁 a day later than scheduled the random delivery was the #PicoCalc I'd ordered from #ClockworkPi back in May 🥳 .
A ver que tal queda.

Exploring bifurcation on the PicoCalc is pure fun! 🤩🤓 #raspberrypi #ClockworkPi #PicoCalc #bifurcation #math #Feigenbaum Especially when operating the PicoCalc via USB-C cable from the Mac in iTerm2. 😎 I wrote a blog post about how to accomplish that (in German) … 👉 blog.metawops.de/gadgets/Pico...

@ishotjr.bsky.social and I dig into #PicoCalc – a #microcontroller dev platform based on #RaspberryPi Pico. Plus, reflections on #Teardown2025 🛠️✨

🕹️ Retro just got modern!
I checked out the Clockwork PicoCalc — a handheld powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico that runs C, C++, Python & Lua… all with just 264KB of RAM 😮
How much can you do with so little?

Something I've been thinking about doing for a while is a code-a-long for some of the silly #handhelds I own. Last week I finally got of my arse. #ClockworkPi #PicoCalc

I've completed "Encoding Error" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2020 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2020/day/9
On the #clockworkpi #picocalc in #mmbasic

Again on the #ClockworkPi #PicoCalc

I kinda want a second #PicoCalc, or maybe a case mod that makes swapping cores easy.
Fun fact of the day. #MMBasic on the #ClockworkPi #PicoCalc does not implement libraries the same was that #MMBasic on the #Maximite implements libraries. This is not mentioned in the PDF. *sob*
I designed a modification to the PicoCalc back to support a Pi Debug Probe: www.printables.com/model/125355...

I've now completed 3 and a half days of #AdventOfCode on the #ClockworkPI #PicoCalc. My thoughts so far:
It is a chunky boi. Quite comfortable in the hand, but not pocketable.
The screen is clear and readable.
Slowly making it better (now it checks for INF lol)
#PicoCalc
I finally received a PicoCalc from clockworkpi. It's a nice piece of kit. Is there already a software archive? It reminds me a bit of the computers in the cockpit of an airplane.
