Well it is one of those (European) mornings where you try making the best Pimoroni order. Did Adafruit get some of those boards early? Did you have a chance to check that WiFi chip already?

Already preordered two of em, I should have them by tomorrow night

#

Its gonna be such a pain to implement iwctl in ljinux

I got two early but didn’t get support going. Software situation wasn’t clear

Special version of micropython, all the external pin are the same, but the LED pin is now used by the wifi co-processor and the LED is attached to that processor. So the non wifi side might work more or less already...

the flash is 2mb instead of 1

#

may just work though

Seems that you need a binary blob for the WiFi and an even bigger one for the BLE. So space is limited. Do you want to split in two for upgradability ?. Right now it would be easy to support without the LED and the WiFi... but this would be cheating or just a big warning is enough?

BLE isn't usable at the moment. The board doesn't hook the cyw chip up with its normal BLE pins.

#

I don't think I want to make a board def until wifi will work. I think the normal pico build will work if people really want it
