Mandelbrot for RP2040

PicoCalc
1

I have finished my Mandelbrot program. I’ll let the README on GitHub explain what the program does and, how to use it.

I would like to note a couple of PicoCalc folks that made this possible. First would be @BlairLeduc for the picocalc-text-starter. Without this foundation I could never have written my program. Second would be @pelrun for uf2-loader. I would have given up if I had to find the bootsel button and plug in the USB cable for every code change. Thank you both.

Hopefully there’s a few other folks who are as fascinated by Mandelbrot as I am and will enjoy exploring the set.

Hey, great job!

After changing pico to pico2_w in one line in CMakeLists.txt

set(PICO_BOARD pico2_w CACHE STRING “Board type”)

it built perfectly for my rp2350-based Picocalc.

I didn’t bother to switch to native floating point, it’s fast enough the way it is.

I have uploaded that build if anybody is interested: Mandelbrot_07.2350

I wondered if the 2350 would work but had no idea if its assembly was a superset of the 2040, or something completely different.

Thanks for compiling and posting.
