raphael75 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 25, 2021 #5 If it's actually possible to use B4R with Raspberry Pi Pico, then it would be a good opportunity to promote B4R to a wider audience. Imagine if we could add a new chapter 9.3.2. "Using B4R" in the User guide https://datasheets.raspberrypi.org/pico/getting_started_with_pico.pdf Upvote 0

raphael75 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 26, 2021 #7 Even though "ESP32 Pico" is called "Pico", it does not contain the RP2040 chip as used on the Raspberry Pi Pico. Of course ESP32 Pico may be used as an alternative product. Upvote 0

Raspberry Pi Pico Review: ‘Pi Silicon’ Debuts on $4 Microcontroller The smallest Raspberry Pi yet! www.tomshardware.com . But keep in mind when buying, the PICO has NO wireless and Bluetooth. more information from https://www.adafruit.com/product/4883 Upvote 0

Click to expand... If someone prefer products from Raspberry than he can choose an Raspberry Pi Zero W for a few bugs. BCM 2835 SOC @ 1GHz 512MB RAM On-board Wireless LAN - 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n (BCM43438) On-board Bluetooth 4.1 + HS Low-energy (BLE) (BCM43438) micro-SD Slot otherwise choose an ESP or STM32 . I don't see any real advantages with the Pico at the moment. Upvote 0

hatzisn Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jan 27, 2021 #11 It is capable of getting programmed with C++ also, beside micropython (a bit different variant though from Arduino C++). The problem to use it in B4R is the uploading to the board and if it can be done "by pass" as it is done with Arduino. Upvote 0

tigrot Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jan 29, 2021 #12 I don't think it's compatible with B4X. For Rasberry Erel suggest to use B4J , since normally it uses a distro of Linux and it contains a Java runtime. But this board supports no OS, so... Upvote 0

But since it can be programmed with C++ as it is indicated in its site, @Erel already has knowledge of C++, and possibly he can create the "translation" from B4R to Raspberry Pico C++. Further more the Pico cannot run java since it is a microcontroller and not a one board computer. If @Erel can manage to create this "translation" then it is a matter of how easy it is to cooperate with the Raspberry IDE to compile and upload "by pass". Edit: The most suitable case would be that the Arduino Environment would "adapt" the Pico and create themselves the translation, compilation and upload. But since they compete each other, this, is in the "dream" world. Last edited: Jan 29, 2021 Upvote 0
