OPTION COLOURCODE ON to activate color coded in the editor. [20250401_170419]
A little benchmark with the Lorenz attractor prog :
default cpuspeed (150Mhz) : 10 sec
cpuspeed 396Mhz : 4 sec
Not bad

How does one get wifi working on pico 2 w
Thereās no easy way, at present. Youāll need to create and build the firmware yourself and create whatever applications you need.
You could use the Arduino IDE to create your own custom firmware for the device. Someone started working on that here:
I havenāt played with the uLisp port, but itās possible it might support wifi functionality. Someone built it for the Pico 2.
Edit (download links for firmware):
Similarly Fuzix might support wifi, but I havenāt played with it yet either. Doesnāt seem like anyone has really been using it much, since the folks interested in Linux have seemed to gravitate toward the Luckfox Lyra (which also doesnāt have wifi, except by hardware mods).
I havenāt seen anyone porting MicroPython/CircuitPython to the Pico/Pico2 for PicoCalc, but that could be a possibilty as well. I might take a look at that myself soon since I already started looking at it for the Waveshare ESP32-S3 Pico module.
Edit (display works, but keyboard doesnāt on CircuitPython):
I suppose you could ask @guu about it, but sounds like heās busy with other things (and he already did the inital ports of these firmwares), so Iām guessing the community efforts will probably produce something faster.
So I guess the TL;DR is: wait a few months and see what develops, or jump in and try to get something working yourself. Thatās kind of the general rule for all Clockwork devices, which can be either exciting, or frustrating, or both, depending on your needs and patience.

I do have images available; a few minor issues, but itās pretty usable.
There is wifi support in uLisp at least, but I havenāt tried it yet. Will report back later.

Nice! Thanks for sharing the link. Also, itās cool youāre documenting your journey with Lisp on the PicoCalc.
I noticed the Pico 2W @ 250MHz link on your website is dead, but since it wasnāt listed in your performance stats, maybe it was a planned release that didnāt happen?
I plan to play around with your firmware for the Pico 2W, though I have to admit I wasnāt overjoyed with lisp years ago as an undergrad. I struggled to wrap my head around it. Not sure if that will have improved or worsened with age but Iāll give it a go. A friend of mine who is really interested in Scheme has tried to bring me over to that world, but so far hasnāt managed to do it, but maybe the PicoCalc will push me in that direction.

Thanks for the catch! It was a misnamed file, which Iāve pushed up and it should be available now.
FYI, uLisp is a Lisp-1 (like Scheme) with Common Lisp function names, and itās pretty extensible (Iāve added some of my own functions and extensions already). But Lisp is definitely not everyoneās cup of tea!

Does anyone know what the issue is here i keep getting Not enough memory. Is there a way to clear memory? So i have tried the commands CLEAR and or CLR seems to do something but i still get the not enough memory error.

um, thatās an NES rom meant for an emulatorā¦

It looks like you have the (default) PicoMite firmware loaded on your PicoCalc, the only thing that is capable of RUNning is MMBasic programs (.bas files).
Iām guessing you need an NES emulator firmware for a .nes file.
Best wishes,
Tom

Lol i thought it wasntoo big
just curious: why did you try to run binary nes file in basic interpreter? what did you expect to happen?
I am totaly newbie to all this and trying to take the baby steps to learning lol. Though i have learned a few commands now for picomite.
no shame there, I wish you the very best on you journey!
