I just remember you saying that possibly the Nano was running out of headroom earlier and now I have read up on the Pico's specs and how it has more memory and more CPU power, I was pondering the idea of trying to put a Pico in my Oqtadrive as a challenge to myself.xelalex wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 7:58 amI still have two Picos that have been loitering about my desk since I ordered them last year, that need to be put to some use. At one point during OqtaDrive development I considered switching to the Pico. I thought I had hit a performance problem that the Nano would not be able to overcome. But it turned out that after all everything was doable with the Nano.
In general it's possible to put the adapter code onto a different micro-controller. It would require a bit of tweaking though. Timing and the use of interrupts is crucial. Any reason for prefering a Pico over a Nano?
I briefly dabbled with Arduino's and the IDE software but never really pursued it. So now I am retired I was thinking about having a go at MicroPython on the Pico to keep the grey cells ticking over. You know the old saying "Use it or Loose it"
The device works great as it is and this was just something I was mulling over out loud, I wasn't trying to say you should change anything.
Here are some pictures of mine built...
