Many people wanted a RESET button on their Pico but I decided to make one without buttons 🤣 .

It currently has no FLASH/PSRAM and boots over UART (3-pin at the bottom) or you can upload a UF2 over USB. The I2C expander towards the bottom (4-pin STEMMA QT) can twiddle the BOOTSEL, SD1 and RUN pins.

On the left is my Pico 2 clone PCB. It has no buttons, the red LED is illuminated. On the bottom edge are 4-pin (I2C) and 3-pin (UART) connectors, both of these have wires to one of my RP2040 Interfacer PCBs which is on the right.

I've hacked together a CircuitPython library to UART boot the RP2350. The two bin files it's uploading just cycle through the LEDs in different directions.

I still have no RUN pin so I'm using one of my USB Power Switches to power cycle the board.
