guhh i would really have liked if this grove connector wasn't on this side of the board, probably going to remove it and solder straight to pads
the height (and the added width if i was using a grove cable) would make designing a case around it awkward
jeez! i thought i'd received a dead pico2w (didn't test it before installing the shim, mea culpa) but no! you need to press the power button on the shim even without a battery and plugged into usb, then the pico works as intended!
gave up on pybasic on top of circuitpython, have now been porting stefan's tinybasic 2 to the gizmo
some text printing and scrolling is still bad but this is slowly becoming a much more functional basic machine
@mavica_again it's cute!
@mavica_again another lovely project!
