Hallo, which USB Port should i connect to power it on, USB C or USB A? Which Button to Press when Flash? Boot or Reset? The Device doesn't show up in my Explorer to copy the Binary on it. RED on board LED is blinking. THX  |

A to program. C to use at which point the A becomes a USB host. Use the VGAUSB firmware. |

If i copy the PicoMiteRP2350VGAUSBV6.02.00.uf2 file on the RP it will not reboot. Also the Clear Flash tool from Geoff will not work/reboot No serial console will be shown in device manager. No idea what i can do now. |

It looks like you've got it running. :) With the USB firmware running you can plug a non-powered USB hub into the USB-A socket. You can then run a mouse and keyboard and, optionally, some USB game controllers. I can't quite read the numbers on the Raspberry Pi chip, but it appears to be a RP2040, as expected, because MMBasic seems to be running ok. I haven't got one of these boards so I might be of limited help. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |

I think the configuration options are printed on the bottom of the board. The name of the design may be there too. If so you can use that to search the forum for more information about it. |

That looks like it, thanks Phil. :) I see the options are nicely listed on the bottom of the board and on the display in the pic. :) I told a lie too - I did get one of these. :) It's the one I made to look rather like an Apple device. :) Edit: Time passes... Thorin sits down and starts singing about gold. Updated to latest firmware now. :) .
