Hello.

I’ve been working on a Rust-based minimal starter code for PicoCalc. My objective is to identify crates and create minimal test examples to confirm their integration.

I have successfully established communication with the following components:

- USB Serial
- I2C Keyboard
- PWM Speakers
- SPI Display
- SPI SD Card

I’m still working on getting the following to work:

- QSPI PSRAM

Please see [PicoCalc Text Starter (on GitHub)](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/picocalc-text-starter-on-github/18451) to see if there is anything in there that could help.

I created and shared that project to encourage and enable people to create more cool stuff for my beloved PicoCalc. This definitely qualifies as cool stuff.

Thanks. I’ll definitely take a look.

Update: I’ve got most components to work. Only the PSRAM needs some work.
