Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hello!

Can we found Picocalc version of the new Picomite firmware somewhere?
Is anybody working on it?

Thanks!

The PicoCalc is not a supported platform for MMBasic (I don't have one). Various people on the PicoCalc forum have done forks of the code to suit the PicoCalc but I don't know the status of these. The PicoCalc uses a non-standard display (320x320) with unknown controller (possibly up to 3 different variants) and non-standard keyboard as well as a PSRAM chip coupled to standard GPIO pins rather than connected properly to the Pico QMI bus.
I have created a pair of display drivers for 320x320 resolution displays for the ILI9488 and ST7796 controllers which some of the forks may or may-not be using.
There is no significant discussion of the PicoCalc on this forum although toml_12953 who posts regularly here has, I believe, done a fork.
