picoFETCH

ig its working )

I added a simple fetch app, simmular to neofetch )
It displays:

  • the board name (on compilation)
  • chip name
  • clock speed
  • free RAM (not prezise)
  • SDK version
  • chip id
  • WiFi connection status

btw this all runs on a simple rpi pico 2w with a diplay )
check out my other devlogs to see what this thing can do

@xerneas

fetch??? you should try hackfetch lol (i made it)

Very cool feature! I think you should add scripting over a microSD card reader. Like that you can write your applications in Lua, put them on the microSD, and then access them directly on your device without compiling you OS. That’s just an idea (remember I make my own mini Laptop based on a mcu)

@Fedi41

That’s a cool idea! But this is probably something for the next version, sounds pretty complicated ). And i dont know, how I should attach an sd card to it, when the display sits on the pico…. right now i am using an extension board so I could connect an sd card, but when I make a compact version, this gets more complicated… Still thanks for your feedback :D

@Fedi41

@xerneas cool project! I cant check it out, cause i am still on windows :cryin:

@Fedi41

Well i could use it but it doesnt make much sence on windows )

@wilrakov

But you can connect a microSD card instead of a SD card, it is much smaller and it’s not very complex

@Fedi41

Yeah, thats better. but I still cant connect it to the pico without a custom breakoutboard, when I want to make it portable ) But I will still try to make it! It is really a good idea )
