I have used PSRAM with a Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 on pin GP47 with no problem. Now I’d like to try the 2W instead but it gives me invalid GPIO when I try OPTION PSRAM PIN GP47. Is there a way to use the PSRAM on the 2W? ---

I hit the same problem. Webmite does not support gp47 with PSRAM but Picomite does, so you can have wifi or PSRAM, but not both. ---

According to Peter on TheBackShed, Webmite does not support the Pimoroni Pico Plus 2W. (And presumably never will.)

Webmite does work on the Pico Plus 2W, though I just played around with it so I can’t say how stable it is. The wifi works and I was able to set the time with web ntp. ---

Oh wow. Everything I had read on TheBackShed said it didn’t work. I don’t have one to test. Sounded like the CPUSPEED had to be set rather low too, supposedly due to stability issues (even without using WiFi). ---

Yes, I didn’t try to change CPUSPEED at all. I may have been too encouraging to say it works. Your mileage will definitely vary with this. You can through get up and running and determine your own confidence. ---

Yes. I can’t go over 200000 on the Pimoroni, whereas on the official Pico, I can run at 252000.
