Hi! Some time ago I bought picocalc and installed pico w in it. The PicoWare firmware looked interesting, but Wi-Fi didn’t work for me on that version. I realize that it has been fixed in the current release, but I decided to write a few scripts of my own for the PicoCalc. It took me a few weeks to create the basic scripts for handling the display and keypad. Eventually, I achieved what I set out to do: a simple IRC client. My goal was also to use the standard firmware from the MicroPython website. I know that compiling scripts and building custom firmware is more efficient, but I just wanted something that worked out of the box. I plan to refine my scripts later and add support for SD cards and audio. I haven’t decided yet how to use the PSRAM. On one hand, I could mount it as a RAM disk for temporary files, or use it as memory for a terminal or something else. I’ve implemented the class itself, but I haven’t chosen the best use case yet. I don’t claim to write good code — I just enjoy programming. Thank you.
