    And the results are in!

    1. Pico C
    2. Rust
    3. Free Pascal
    4. Joint with Pico C++, MicroZig and Yarg.

    So, what am I going to do? Well, I'm leaning towards porting the existing Arduino C code to the Pico C SDK. I'm currently using one class for encapsulation and abstraction, but I could replace that with structs and static functions. I'm not a great C programmer, but I'm pretty comfortable with it, so it makes sense

    However, before I do that, I see a bigger challenge of getting a good setup without using VS Code. I've been using #NeoVim for a while now, and I'd like to get a comfortable setup using that on #Linux.

    So, I'm going to try to build Blinky projects for at least Pico C, Rust and Free Pascal, using Linux and NeoVim. Hopefully this will give me a better feel for how well these languages actually suit me. I've never done any Rust before, either, so that's going to be quite the learning curve!

    If I have time, I'm going to give Yarg a go, too, because I think the premise is really cool. If I'm on a roll, I'll try #MicroZig too.

    And if I really feel like I have the capacity, I'll port the code to one of these other languages.

    I'm acutely aware of all the other projects I've given myself to do, such as the SIBO SDK and other small Psion-related projects, not to mention $dayjob and $reallife. So we'll see how things go!

  2. RE: oldbytes.space/@thelastpsion/1

    Only a couple of hours left for this poll.

    C is clearly out in front for my embedded project, but Rust and Pascal aren't far behind!

  3. Poll for a bit of fun. Feel free to boost!

    I've got a #RaspberryPiPico project written in #Arduino C. It talks to a Psion SSD and dumps the contents over USB serial. It can (theoretically) act as a full controller to tag an SSD, too.

    I feel like I should port it to the proper Pico SDK. But I also know there are other options. And I'm intrigued to know what Fedi would do.

    What should I rewrite this firmware in?

  4. I don't hate this usage of Ai,

    I have notes on the execution but I thought I should fess up to not being anti-useful-not-wasteful-technology.

  8. Finally calling this done! Say hello to the HellSplit a hand-wired, asymmetric 40% split #ortholinear keyboard with vertical column stagger and two rotary encoders. Powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico's #RP2040 and #KMK firmware

  13. Finished building my new hardwired split mechanical keyboard this weekend! #3dprinted based on my own design, spray painted and powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico W’s. Of course, it’s running my fave #keyboard firmware #KMK! Sadly #CircuitPython doesn’t yet support BLE on the PicoW so it’s not wireless yet, but I’m just counting down the days!
