I have tried replacing the Pico-H module with a Pico2W and can’t get it to work (blank screen). I’ve tried PicoMiteRP2350 and WebMiteRP2350, nothing seems to work. I swap the Pico-H back in and it works fine. What am I missing to make it work?

I had the same problem. I solved it by taking the batteries completely out, then putting them back in. Other than that, my PicoCalc with a Pico2-HW works fine. Also remember that you need to upload the Pico2-specific .UF2 file to your Pico2-HW. The Pico1 that came with your PicoCalc had the Pico1-specific .UF2 file already loaded onto it.

There are a few projects/firmwares that support the 2W (including Zeptoforth and Picoware). I also recommend updating your keyboard.
This should help you get started:
Have you flashed the right firmware on your Pico2W? Don’t know if you already know: disconnect the screen first and replace the Pico board on the motherboard separately. I and many others like me broke their screen while replacing the Pico.

I figure out the problem!! I was using the wrong firmware files. I found the PicoCalc PicoMite files and it worked.

Nice job finding that - it is pretty easy to use the standard WebMite firmware and missing that you need the firmware specifically for the PicoCalc.
