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 don't know what Firmware to use on the the RP2040-zero.
Also, what device should I select when using the Maximite Control Centre to program them.
Cheers

It depends on what you intend to attach.
PicoMiteRP2040V6.00.02b6.uf2 is the basic version and includes drivers for a variety of SPI and I2C displays.
For the others the name of the .uf2 file explains what it does.

In MMCC choose the closest match to the firmware you have chosen.

Thanks, I didn't know the zero uses the same FW as the Pico. It seems to be working ok.

The RP2040-Zero is identical to the basic PicoMite, it just has less GPIO pins. I've used quite a few of them now. Good board.

Yes, I use the Zero module in a few of my projects now too.  Especially where I need compactness or there is not much PCB space.  They work well - have never had a dud one yet, despite their very cheap price.
