Managed to get a cheap temperature/humidity sensor from Adafruit talking to PicoCalc Basic.
Just flinging bits out the i2c bus, then seeing what comes back, staring a datasheet, trying out ideas.

@concretedog @alexglow @ishotjr The #PicoCalc is really nice! I love mine, too. Here’s my blog post (in German; but you know how to translate) about how to control it from a Mac via its USB-C port.

Exploring bifurcation on the ClockworkPi PicoCalc is pure fun!

Just gone through episode 2 of #DayGlowShow with @alexglow and @ishotjr looking at all things #cyberdeck and tinkering on the #picocalc. Thrilled to be briefly mentioned at the end! #famous!

Our second episode of #DayGlowShow streams live July 10 at noon Pacific (tomorrow / 7pm UTC)!
@ishotjr and I are digging into the #PicoCalc – a #microcontroller development platform based on the #RaspberryPi Pico. Plus, reflections from #Teardown2025

Retro just got Modern!
In today’s video on DevWithZachary, I explore the Clockwork PicoCalc — a tiny yet mighty handheld computer powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico.
With just 264KB of memory, this device can run C, C++, Python, and Lua — proving that powerful programming doesn't always need modern specs.
What can you really achieve with less than 300KB? Let’s find out.

It is a widely known fact that despite loving #startrek I am not a huge #voyager fan; specfically I find #neelix very very annoying and unlikable.
Due to a mixup, a techno toy that I bought myself for my birthday (a #clockworkpi #PicoCalc ) ended up getting shipped to my parents in the US. My friend agreed to bring it over with him on a trip to the UK. I finally got it yesterday and excitedly unboxed it only to find my "friend" had filled it with pictures of neelix! He got me so bad.

Got one, still stock with the #Pico H module.
#BASIC, with a tiny keyboard and screen, bring immediacy to tinkering and exploring.
That's fun!
Con: limited documentation of the PicoCalc variant of #MMBasic makes it difficult to find out what is possible.
That's frustrating.
"Can I do graphics with the GUI widgets?"
"Can I play sound from audio files?"
"Would there be a way to listen to a microphone?"
"Would a touchscreen work?"
Very nice new gadget, the #PicoCalc by #ClockworkPi! Got mine a few days ago and am currently learning a lot about how it works. Documentation is a bit sparse, currently. You have to study many forum posts on forum.clockworkpi.com, there's currently no "gettings started" guide. – A bit disappointing: No Python (neither Micro-, nor Circuit-) out of the box. But folks (not ClockworkPi) are working on it. – If you're into Forth: it's already there. #RaspberryPi #Pico #Pico2 #MMBasic
Having fun with my #PicoCalc

Oop, I better start reading...
It took a couple months, but the Clockwork PicoCalc did arrive in California finally.
Minimal handheld computer. Raspberry Pi Pico CPU. Stock, has no OS, boots to BASIC interpreter. 264kB.
Turn clock back to early 1980s, see what could have happened.
Took the StackOverflow developer's survey as I do every year, and got to write in BASIC as one of the languages I worked with this year. #PicoCalc
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
Continued thread
@adafruit , could you make one of these? portable, batteries, screen, keyboard, instant-on interpreter?
