Hello again. Did a search but found no references to "pico". Assume not. Hard to find any pi's for sale at a reasonable price. Anyone using an Orange pi?

Hi Jim. The Pico W does not run Linux. So this implementation does not support the Pico. My guess is you should be able to get this to run on other platforms running Linux. But I guess there is only one way to find out ;-)

Any non rasp pi sbc anyone can recommend to work?

Hi Jim, i just finished a first version of a running Wordclock on the Pico-W. It uses a time server to update a DS3231 Chip and displays very simple the Time as words on the same Layout like in this repository. Yes it is possible to use a pico-W. But actually only very limited functions.

@maxce-ok feel free to share any progress. Also a minimal version sounds promising... :)
