Hey There!
thanks for accepting me on this wonderful forum i only recently discovered. I'm from 1959, almost in pension and love electronics stuff since i was about 8-10 years old. My godfather was a ham operator and he supported me to learn soldering and creating radios and amplifiers with tubes.
In my first semester at university i became acquainted with Basic which made me switch my studies to computer science. So in the end i became an IT professional doing project and service management. Just three months to go until i am a pensioner with a bit more spare time (and less time to live - statistically).
I have purchased a Raspberry Pi Pico during Corona but did not start to experiment with it as i had enough to play around with my Arduino and ESP32 components.
As i am still playing around with my old Sharp pocket computers, i was looking for a Basic interpreter, capable of interpreting Sharp Basic. So i discovered Geoff's MMBasic, the Picomite and subsequently this forum.
The photo is about 5 years old. nowadays i have more grey hair, more crinkles and more weight.
My plans are of course huge - i'd like to build a pocket computer on my own - however, before i can do that, i need to learn far more about the PicoMite and hardware. If i will achieve that objective - we will see.
So i'm hoping of a vivid exchange and your help. If i can help, i will do of course - just let me know.
Kind regards,
Christian (aka Xian)
