Amazon sells these little RP2040 boards for about $2 ($20 for ten). USB C connector, boot and reset buttons and about an inch square. I bought a few to play and use them with Arduino IDE but plan to use the real SDK. Has anyone experimented with MMBasic on them? I have a lot of little tasks in my lab where one of these running basic could be awesome. It would be really cool if I could just plug in, use the USB console with editor etc and then set them to autorun. A replacement for the old Picaxe!
Is there any reason that MMBasic won't run on one, I'm going to give it a shot but wanted to share, know others experience and any gotchas.
Thanks.

The title of this post was was originally reffering RPi Pico "Zero" Mini boards- I guess this was a trademark or unwanted word. It kind of loses it meaning with just the RPi Pico 2040....
