Pimoroni

An elongated Pirate-brand RP2350-powered board with 16MB of flash, 8MB of PSRAM, USB-C, Qw/ST, 2.4GHz wireless / Bluetooth and built-in LiPo charging.

Hello
Has anyone tried PicoMite MMBasic on this?

I/ll be honest, I'm not a fan. The PGA2350 is great as it quite literally makes everything available in an elegant way. This is an attempt to do a similar thing but with more integrated bits in a DIL package for breadboards but it's length makes it a bit fragile for that and integrated stuff means that it is tied to specific GPIO pins, which loses the point of GPIO. It's fine as a testbed device but IMHO it's unsuitable for integrating into anything - what the Pico was designed for. It's also twice the price of the PGA2350 so you won't be buying many for projects.

MMBASIC is probably wasted on this one, and not a good match since it has a different WIFI option, for example.

Not bad for solutions needing a lot of GPIO.  I'll try to use it as virtual peripherals for a legacy 8-bit CPU.

Agreed, kinda. I really like matherp's DIL; long, yes but it doesn't feel at all fragile.

The integrated boards are nice but incorporate features that I will never use. The DIL just requires a motherboard to suit the application. The quality from JLCPCB is wonderful and the metallic "BOOT" and "RESET" buttons provide a nice, positive tactile feedback.
