Picopocket Running on the RP2350 Pi Pico 2 - Picopad Software Compatible
The Picopocket is a handheld device made my me, based on the Picopad schematic. A custom PCB and case, and running on both the Pico (RP2040) and the Pico 2 (RP2350) thanks to Miroslav Nemecek's PicoLibSDK. #pico

    • @megazoid
      @megazoid 4 місяці тому

      The Teensy 2.0 doesn't need any additional components to be Arduboy FX compatible (apart from a flash chip). A pro micro would need a transistor and a couple of resistors (or breakout wires from the 32u4 chip) to be Arduboy compatible. Unless you go for "alternate wiring", which means the games need to be compiled for alternate wiring.
