Are they supported? It would be amazing to be able to use a bluetooth keyboard. Would that work? The 2 W has bluetooth…

No bluetooth or wifi support in Picomite/MMBasic.
The MicroPython builds and uLisp support wireless for the hardware modules that have it. And with a hardware mod the Lyra can support wireless too.
In theory someone could do a custom build of PicoMite and add those features but it would be a lot of work. And Clockwork just did a simple port of the existing stuff (without contacting or asking the PicoMite creators/maintainers), so the original maintainers have little to no interest in making this happen or in supporting the device.

There is Wifi support in Webmite though. It has already been ported.

I was responding adcockm. Yeah no support for bluetooth as far as I know.

Yeah, sadly none of the different MMBasic variants have support for Bluetooth. And I don’t think it’s planned. The support for wifi in MMBasic is limited too, though you can run a webserver and do TCP/UDP connections. But if you want more control over wireless connections, right now you’d be better off either using one of the MicroPython ports (depending on which module you are using), a hardware modded Lyra with Ubuntu (then you could use whatever language or development environment you want), or building a custom application using Arduino.
I put a WebMite build on the the release page here, but I had the keyboard disconnect issue with it. That really seems hit or miss, as I’ve been purposely running it for nearly an hour now since a power cycle and it hasn’t happened yet.
