The new issue of @rpimag has just landed on my doormat.. there's a heap of excellence (Rob Miles #midi #pico stuff is ace!) and my contributions are part 2 of the #meshtastic series looking at building a solar node and using things like ATAK. I've also written a review of the fab #Picocalc from Clockworkpi. Hoping to write more about #PicoMite and PicoCalc in the coming!

Just implementing a Linux terminal in BASIC. #PicoCalc

@adafruit , could you make one of these? portable, batteries, screen, keyboard, instant-on interpreter?

#picocalc #adafruit

"That cyberdeck looks cool. Instant-on simple interpreter. I could use that for... And only $75.",

I said about the #picocalc so I ordered one.

Add $25 for shipping to the US?

Well, ok.

But wait, #tariff tantrums.

145% from China?

Or excepted by de minimus?

Maybe stuck in customs?

Maybe never will be shipped?

Who fucking knows?

#KingAsshole #Trump has made it all a bunch of fucking chaos.

Little post on my blog about tinkering with my #picocalc #basic #handheld https://concretedog.blogspot.com/2025/05/picocalc-having-fun-with-picomite.html

WHOA! New hotness from #ClockworkPi:

#PicoCalc

Some frankly l335 skills I'm showing on the #picocalc (I suck at code generally even super retro code!)

Wrote a little about my All Ten solver for the PicoCalc here: https://commutenation.com/picocalc/allten/index.html

It just barely runs fast enough. #picocalc

Wrote a solver for the game All Ten, where you are given 4 numbers, and you use + - * / () to find equations that result in the integers 1-10. Written in BASIC. Fussiest part was avoiding divide by zero errors. Suggestions for detecting functionally equivalent equations welcomed. #PicoCalc

Cute puzzle in Youngest's math class called All Ten. Writing a solver on the #PicoCalc

@concretedog

going to have to investigate then!

#picocalc

It lives! #picocalc

FINALLY! A little clear time and headspace to work on a few bits and bobs. Been putting together my #tdeck #meshtastic setup, but I still also have my #picocalc and a wonderful @rc2014 picasso kit to put together! Progress in the coming weeks!

Today is a day for some hardware tinkering. #ClockworkPi #DevTerm #PicoCalc #Linux

Pico Res Touch LCD3.5のサポートを追加。最も縦に長くたっぷりメッセージが見られるバージョンとなりましたｗ
あとCardputerのおまけのBLEキーボードもサポート。

the #picocalc looks SOOOO COOOL I WANT IT SO BAD UGHHH

大物(USB/BLE KBD)を片づけたので、宿題となっていた案件も片づけました。ダイアログのボタンに対応するキーのラベルをつけました。またボタンが一個しか出てないときにはSpace/Enterでも閉じるように変更しました。

Started coding a Lunar Lander game on the PicoCalc. It's a bit tricky as there are no key down keyup events, it only calls a subroutine when there is a character in the input buffer. I got around that by reference counting the key presses. We'll see if it works well enough. #PicoCalc

I can get an event in PicoMite BASIC when a key is pressed, but the default repeat can't be changed from within a program, limiting game development on the PicoCalc. Would be better to poll a key status function. #PicoCalc
