Thank you! I haven’t yet tried it inside the PicoCalc, but I booted the image on the Lyra and my usb wifi dongle works great using adb shell. Even the bluetooth functionality works (I guess that driver was already in the image).
For anyone interested, the specific dongle I have is:
I plan to get a boost converter and use it as michael_mayer has done here:
While it would be nicer to expose the USB port externally with a custom case, I don’t have access to a 3D printer so I’m planning to just use the Lyra USB adaptor with the boost converter hacked in (and some cable length removed) and then keep it all inside the PicoCalc case with the wifi dongle attached.
@michael_mayer you mentioned that powering on with the wifi dongle atatched could be a problem here: Luckfox Lyra on PicoCalc - #122 by michael_mayer
Since I plan to keep mine int he case, if possible, and it won’t be easy to remove, I’m wondering if I can either get it to work by having it plugged in to USB when powering on, or if it’s possible to reset or reconect to the wifi dongle in software rather than physically unplugging it? I’m hoping I could just do something like disable and renable the driver or something, since it sounds like it will fail to initialize on power on with it plugged in. Though you indicated the keyboard may not come up as well, so maybe I’ll need to keep the port external and plug the dongle in after boot.
