Raspbery Pi Pico #6

Open khwajay opened 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Raspbery Pi Pico support

Describe the solution you'd like I believe most of the tutorial will work fine, but the Pi needs the adafruit libraries copied per https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-pico-led-arcade-button-midi-controller-fighter/coding-the-raspberry-pi-pico-midi-controller

The available I/O is similar but obviously placed slightly differently

Describe alternatives you've considered I am going to try this out myself. I'd be happy to send a pull request or fork depending on how it works out. I'm new to circuitpython and embedded work in general but I'm looking to learn.

Additional context I already have a pico laying around and it seems to be cheaper and easier to find right now that Adafruit boards.

I have a separate project for the Pi, you can check it out here: https://github.com/Breazile/MandoPuterPi

It needs the updated font though.

I think the pico is more akin to this one in that it does not have Linux and a lot less horsepower than the Zero. It just runs code.py.

I think I am close to getting this to work, I just have to use busio.SPI instead. I'll be happy to share once it's done.

Sounds good, thanks

Did you ever get this to work with the Pico?
