Feature Request: Support for new Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 W #2495

Pimoroni have announced a new board with an RP2350 and WiFi. I have two on order.

So far the only software support I see for this is the Pimoroni build of MicroPython - I don't even know if it's in the Raspberry Pi Pico SDK yet. I'll update this issue when I get boards and can throw my test scripts at it.

Looks like it's just the existing WiFi chip on a carrier for easier FCC certification: https://www.tomshardware.com/raspberry-pi/pimoroni-pico-plus-2-w-features-mysterious-raspberry-pi-rm2-wi-fi-chip

Interesting - my boards have shipped and DHL sez they'll be here Monday. The Pimoroni website only calls out MicroPython and the Tom's Hardware article seems to back that up so I'll load the Pimoroni MicroPython on one board to verify that the WiFi works. Then I can look at the MicroPython code in their repo to see if it has any differences between their new board and the Pico W.
