@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.

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?"
Having fun with my #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!
Little post on my blog about tinkering with my #picocalc #basic #handheld https://concretedog.blogspot.com/2025/05/picocalc-having-fun-with-picomite.html
Some frankly l335 skills I'm showing on the #picocalc (I suck at code generally even super retro code!)
going to have to investigate then!
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
After we were taught to excoriate goto statements in the C and C++ eras, I've gained a new appreciation for both BASIC and goto. Goto can simplify otherwise tortured nesting flow of control code. #PicoCalc
If you got a #clockwork #PicoCalc be very careful with positioning the display 
ugh
Assembled my PicoCalc today. It was really well packaged with nice instructions. The device itself feels really well constructed and has a few features you might not expect like speakers, headphone jack, volume knob, backlit keyboard, and inbuilt charger for the 18650s. Next step is finding out what the little BASIC shell is capable of.
