PicoCalc MicroPython v2.0 Web Dashboard, On-Device Editor, Flicker Free (ish - its better) Display & More

Hello all, just pushed v2.0 of my MicroPython firmware/scripts for the PicoCalc with a newly built uf2 with included Docker file so you can build your own if you are handy:

What’s new:

Development Dashboard: A local web UI that wraps mpremote, giving you one-click deploy, a dual-pane file manager, drag-and-drop uploads, in-browser REPL, and a full code editor with Python syntax highlighting. Great alternative to Thonny for getting code onto your device.

Flicker freeish* display rendering: No more white flash on screen clears. its better but it is what it is..

On-device code editor: browse, create, edit, and delete scripts right on the PicoCalc, no computer needed. Nothing groundbreaking, but nice to have

WiFiManager rewrite: Proper VT100 terminal UI with arrow-key nav, signal strength bars, and channel congestion analysis.

Thonny compatible boot variant: For those who prefer Thonny, a boot_thonny.py that avoids the os.dupterm() conflict.

Heads up: The synth (Enhanced Synthesizer 3.0) may still have a few bugs it’s functional but still being polished. Feel free to contribute
