 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. |

I stumbled upon the PicoMite and this forum by accident when I was looking for a simple way of testing a new PCB I had made over Christmas, it was a personal project to repurpose an old Pioneer amplifier board. I created the account here to specifically say thanks to all the guys who wrote the PicoMite system, and the forum posts here that helped me get to the end a lot quicker than I would normally have done. The project was nothing exciting, just a replacement motherboard to change the use of a broken pioneer VSX-520K surround-sound amplifier to a audio jukebox specifically programmed for playing all my CD's which I ripped to a SD Card. I included a PICO2 in the design as it looked grunty enough to play MP3's and I had a clone board I bought at launch lying around. - I bought this board to use a new client project last year, however this coincided with a shortage of RP2350 chips so it was never used and was doing nothing. Testing the new various parts of the new board was actually quite easy using MMBASIC and I was going to then load up VSCode and use the SDK to write it "properly" but realised I actually had a whole program which just worked, and worked as well if not better than if I had written it in C. My blog post is here => https://rodyne.com/?p=3380 , I also wrote it up for hackaday so maybe it will get a couple more people excited. Anyway thanks again, to everyone.
