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.

In the last days I've played with a Pico W. I'm testing with Linux, PuTTY and picocom / cu , Telnet with PuTTY and standard telnet client.
PuTTY works the best and is just fast, also with Telnet and using the internal editor.
All these programs are VT100 capable. Now I found, that connecting Rx/Tx console line from another Pico to the Pico W and use this trivial code just works, like you are using the host itself:
SetPin gp8,gp9,com2
Open "com2:115200" As #1
print #1, chr$(149);
do
 print #1, inkey$;
 print input$(1,#1);
loop

The editor is correct and even Autosave works.

Edit: it works with all PicoMite and of cause also over serial PC connection instead of Telnet
