Oops, early upload! The new devwithzachary video is live right now. I upgraded the Clockwork PicoCalc with a LuckFox Lyra to run CalcuLinux. It is now a fully functional pocket Linux machine and SSH terminal for my home server!

#CyberDeck addiction is real, y'all
Left to right: #PicoCalc (ClockworkPi) running a Lua firmware, #Tanmatsu (Nicolai Electronics) running the Synthwave example app, and #HackberryPi CM5 (Zitao) running the Pico-8 retro game development app (@zep) on top of RPi OS.

"I dunno what you are talking about! That's not my bootloader, officer! Wasn't me dropped that UF2 on the ground there!"

I hand-coded and shared a Letter Spirit bitfont for the Clockwork PicoCalc, a boot-to-BASIC cyberdeck running a Raspberry Pi Pico.
Feedback I got was,
"When I look at that, it makes me feel like I must be having a neural event."
"Oh god, I am sorry!"

NEW BLOG POST - What I worked on this week - https://gianlucanieri.com/2025/12/21/what-i-worked-on-this-week/
-
Lots of stuff in the latest @rpimag my bits are an article on getting started adding hardware to the #PicoCalc as well as the first of two parts tinkering on a larger underwater vehicle! #rov As an unexpected bonus the mighty Rob Miles has written an article about writing @FreeCAD macros with #python. As a shameless act of self preservation.. do consider a subscription (excellent Xmas gift) as it helps keep us writers employed!

I need to pick my #picocalc back up, theres so many cool projects now https://youtu.be/wWV0JY7ota4

I finally received my PicoCalc yesterday. I’ve installed the included pico and tried out a simple basic program.
Now it’s time to start modifying it. I’m going to upgrade to a Pico 2W, and try out the python firmware.
After that I’m going to try compiling a Rust program for it.

🧮 No i się zajarałem #PicoCalc, takim małym handheldem opartym o Raspi Pico (ale też wymiennie LuckFox Lyra). Fajne wykonanie, dwa aku 18650 (można tylko na jednym), porty na zewnątrz, klawiatura sterowana stm32. No fajne cacuszko. Open Hardware i Open Software #FOSS
No i emulatory! (m. in. C64, Apple II, Atari ST)

New video on DevWithZachary!
I upgraded my PicoCalc with a Pico 2W and a 3D printed backplate, then explored community software like Micro Mac, Frotz, Picoware and an NES emulator.
This little device just keeps getting better!

🥁 a day later than scheduled the random delivery was the #PicoCalc I'd ordered from #ClockworkPi back in May 🥳 .
-
The PicoCalc fully put together, and I didn't break the screen!
Now I just have to learn some basic :P

@johnvoorhees Currently in focus: my #ClockworkPi #PicoCalc! 🤩
-
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. 👉 https://blog.metawops.de/gadgets/PicoCalc-seriell-steuern/

Exploring bifurcation on the ClockworkPi PicoCalc is pure fun! 🤩🤓 #raspberrypi #ClockworkPi #PicoCalc #bifurcation #math #Feigenbaum Especially when operating the PicoCalc via USB-C cable from the Mac in iTerm2. 😎 – I wrote a blog post about how to accomplish that (in German) … 👉 https://blog.metawops.de/gadgets/PicoCalc-seriell-steuern/

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 🛠️✨

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

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!
-
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

If you got a #clockwork #PicoCalc be very careful with positioning the display 😬 ugh
