Version 0.0.2 - Alpha

PicoSystem MicroPython

This build is still a little rough around the edges, and is being generated from a fork of MicroPython with a small patch to support PicoSystem's display buffer being allocated on MicroPython's GC heap rather than statically (not enough leftover RAM!)

Changes

• Fixed a bug in poly
• Added ellipse/fellipse
• Added more Sprite constants

Flashing

• Connect your PicoSystem to your computer.
• Hold X while powering on your PicoSystem to ender bootloader mode.
• Copy the .uf2 file (linked below) onto the "RPI-RP2" directory that appears.

Running

Hold "A" while starting up (when you see the PicoSystem splash) to enter the launcher and try some of the baked examples.

Connect to your computer and use Thonny -

• Turn on your PicoSystem
• In Thonny go to Run -> Select Interpreter
• Pick "MicroPython (Rapsberry Pi Pico)"
• Leave Port at "Try to detect port automatically"
• Click the "Stop" button and you should connect to PicoSystem's repl
• Type Voice().play(440) - your PicoSystem should beep!
