Unfortunately my only recommendation is to use a different Pico variant. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on but I’ll take a look into this hopefully over the next few weeks. I do most of my testing with the Pico, Pico 2W, and Pimoroni 2W.
This is an update to the MicroPython version that adds support for playing WAV files and updates the Ghouls game to v0.4, which introduces ground/sky rendering, sound effects, an in-game mini map, projectile effects, and many optimizations!
I used the download function on my picocalc (version 2w) and when the download is completed the picocalc is frozen on the alert screen. No keys work so I used a shutdown using the on/off button to reboot the picocalc. When the device turns back on I am notified that a picoware update is available and I go through the same loop without the picocalc updating. Am I missing something? Great job on the software. Thanks
New Info! When I reboot I also held down the F1 key, selected the shown version and 1.8.1 was booted. Trying out the new version and enjoying my picocalc. Thanks
Thanks for your constant support! I haven’t tested using pelrun’s uf2loader with Picoware’s uf2loader, but I’m happy you found an alternative way to update. Seems like I need to update the Updates document
ill give it a go before i upgrade to pi zero 2w. realistically i would only need a decent word processor and nothing more. something like micro or even wordpad in windows.
they didnt have any real word processors back in basic times, did they? but what about us today on a pico 2w? possibru?
that pico8 fantasy console has a silly looking notepad that makes my eyes shout everytime i look at it. too bad it needs a real OS, and too bad it saves inside its imaginary operating system. i once looked for the presumed saved .txt file for half hour and nothing. but it looks silly enough to use
Sorry for asking a question that might be dumb…until recently I used the uf2loader by @pelrun. Now Picoware has its own uf2loader, but I am a little bit confused. After flashing Picoware on the Picocalc instead of uf2loader and then flashing a non-Picoware uf2 (my MIDI sequencer) with the Picoware Filemanager, everything worked fine, but there was no way to flash back to Picoware (like booting with F1 pressed with uf2loader by @pelrun ) after running the other uf2. Just to get this clarified for me: The Picoware uf2loader is not a replacement for the uf2loader of @pelrun , it is only used to make the update process smoother- right?
Hey, thanks for checking out Picoware and thats actually a great question.
Think of pelrun’s as a “uf2 manager”. It keeps a region of the flash for the firmware itself and flashes the selected firmware (from the boot menu) in a separate region.
The one in Picoware is just a “uf2 loader”, as in it just loads the uf2 into flash (using PSRAM). Its main purpose is flashing OTA updates.
I really appreciate what you’re doing and I find this project inspiring. I’m using PicoCalc with Picoware as a E-book reader: *.*txt files and then use File Manager → View File to read the “book”. Of course, I need to keep the file small enough so it doesn’t use too much memory, otherwise I’ll get an error, that’s why I split them in chapters, but that’s another story… Question: is there a way to change how the file View behaves, because right now, when opening a *.txt file, the cursor goes to the bottom of the text and I need to move it up some couple of thousand lines to start reading from the top and this is annoying… Thank you for your amazing work, keep it up! Cheers!
They absolutely did. Somewhere around 1980 my mother wrote an entire published book on a 48K Apple II+ using AppleWriter (40 column by 24 line upper-case only display–upper case chars were shown in reversed black and white–and no shift key: you had to press Ctrl-A to indicate that the next char would be upper case), and of course WordStar on somewhat more capable machines was a thing by then, too (and still is for George R. R. Martin, apparently).
At only 320 pixels across the display can’t really do much more than a 64 column wide screen at best (and even that is going to have terrible looking characters), but besides that the PicoCalc is far more capable than any microcomputer anybody would have been using the '70s or early '80s.
