PicoCalc Users: Beyond Tinkering & Setup, What Are Your Real-World Use Cases?

That’s exactly the one I’ve ordered from Pimoroni - thanks.

the Pimoroni Pico+2W uses GPIOs 4&5 for I²C bus 0 whereas the PicoCalc uses GPIOs 6&7 for I²C bus 1 for the MCU interface. If I use the former, they’re the pins brought out on the external connector, so giving me an external I²C bus (I’m not using the on-board PSRAM and might actually remove it) but if the connector won’t fit then I’ll hard wire it as you’ve done but might still keep it on GPIOs 4&5 and have an external I²C facility if needed.

Note my battery died in less than a year !, replaced with a BR1225 which will hopefully last longer…
