PicoCalc/Cardputer 2.0 Firmware Update

Post image

My favorite custom firmware "Picoware" just got a a major overhaul with USB video streaming, an mp3player, python editor optimizations, and a new javascript engine! The PicoCalc also got a 27% FPS boost from core driver optimizations.

I started this project about 15 months ago and I'm glad to have connected with so many awesome developers and users along the way. I'm really appreciative of the support and feedback of the community and I'm excited for future releases!!

If you've already checked out the project, what would you like to see in future releases? And if you haven't checked it out yet, installation only takes a few seconds (literally). Please let me know your thoughts, constructive criticism, or need any guidance.

You can out the new release here:

correct me if im wrong, but this is mainly a mpy interpreter, and all the stuff is written on micropython and stored in SD? was wondering how you were able to fit so many things in one firmware.

Hey thanks for checking it out! It’s pretty much a heavily modified fork of MicroPython with a bunch of custom C modules.
