  Mixtel90 said  Personally, I'm not interested in buying a board that I can't find a schematic for. They don't tell you if any of the pins are being used dual-purpose. Waveshare say that *some* RPi Zero "hats" will work on it, but with no indication of which or why only some. Basically, there's so much info missing that I wouldn't bother with it.


I just received the board I ordered.   Included in the envelope was a link for the User Guide.    They have the schematic for the board at this address:   http://cdn.static.spotpear.com/uploads/picture/learn/raspberry-pi/rpi-pico/rp2040-pizero/RP2040-PiZero.pdf

The strange thing is they want to call this a 'Zero' but it has tons of stuff on it.   So that doesn't really make sense.

The good news is it runs MMBasic with no problems.  It has 15 MB of flash space.   I guess that means I don't even have to figure out how to get the SD Card working for a while.
