Is Pico 8 included with uconsole? I only see tic-80 on the start menu.

TIC-80 is open source and available for free.
Pico-8 was developed by Lexaloffle and is closed-source commercial software, but there is a Raspberry Pi OS binary available from their online store. It should run on the uConsole but wasn’t included.

Ok just ordered a Sainsmart Genmitsu 4040 pro CNC router, another use for the uconsole, no fan or moving parts perfect to run a CNC… no dust problems 
i’m planning to use Renoise on it!

I tried to run dosbian and combian, but no luck. Looks like internal display is not recognized.

I’ve got a Pocket Chip that I’ve used for years. Though the keyboard is pretty much unusable at this point. So, the uConsole will be a much nicer replacement.
I do a lot of remote admin tasks and I’m never home. Being able to pull a pocket computer out and fix a problem quickly is wonderful.

I would like to try and use it mainly as a phone. Also maybe for game dev for bits and pieces of coding (mainly C). Also saw that you can use it as a radio of some sort, and maybe also use it to try and get some satellite data would be cool.

I ordered a spare motherboard and CM4 adapter to make a raspberry pi like headless system.

DO NOT load Python Jupyter or Jupyter Notebook on top of Python Spyder IDE it will corrupt the Spyder IDE installl - my efforts to fix Spyder IDE corrupted the linux install and I had to reflash the micro SD and start over…

I’m probably gonna try Twister OS and get RetroPie up and running. After that I’m not sure. Got some DOS games I wanna try out.

how well does it work as a phone? do you use something like a bluetooth earpiece? I’d love to use mine as a business phone

Another user note - if you are trying to use a Logitech unifying receiver - it may have issues with USB C port … but the 3-port USB adapter board (3rd party) ports work with a USB-C to usb cable to work fine with a Logitech k400+ keyboard/mouse travel keyboard… you’ll want to install Solaar to manage…
