One one hand, that's awesome. Networking was the only thing missing from the Pico. On the other hand, darn it. More code to write. 😆 |

Seems it has to do w/FCC etc. radio licensing. Since it's a chip, not a carrier board (like the ESPxxxs), they need to submit it to the relevant country certification authorities. If they just soldered on a castellated(sp?) board, they would not need this since the carrier board would include the antenna and be cert'd by the original manufacturer. |

Ordered also some, there is no API for Arduino, so we have to do it. |

I got mine a few days ago. Patiently waiting for you to write your code earlephilhower. I just wanted to tip my hat at you sir. I would sound like a total fanboy if I mentioned how I really feel about your pico code, so I will simply say thank you. You rock! |

You made it possible for me to use my pico when I first got it, so I will wait as long as I must to use my pico W. Thank you philhower |

Microcenter pulled through today, 🥳. Was able to snag one this AM before they sold out. It's blinking away now (picow_blink example). Well see how this weekend looks for some heavy hacking... |
