Pico W out!

[Sussy-OS]

The Pico W (W for WiFI) is now able to be bought. If you can intergerate this, we could wirelessly control our pico, without having to update the payload manualy, you can do it with a GUI right when it's plugged in! (Simalar to the O.M.G. Plug ) This would be huge for the Pico-Ducky community, if we could get it to work. Let's see if it works?

I saw the announcement on this new board. I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to get some boards. Once I do, I'll work on a port to the Pico W.
For remote support, I'll probably start with some of the things I put in the Feather-S2 ducky project.

Okay. If I get a Pico W, I could volenteer for tester to help? The only problem I am seeing is how to host the GUI/server for remote acsess. If you already have something simalar, then I think that this could be something really great for all Ducky kind. A $6 USB Rubber ducky with WiFi remote acsess. Now we don't need to pay $60! Thanks for reading this, and have a good rest of your day. :)

Can't we get a soft access point running on the pico? So the pico works like a hotspot

[dbisu]

Yes, that is the plan. You can see a potential way of doing this in the Feather-S2 ducky project. Look at webapp.py. I'll probably clean that up a little once I can get some Pico W boards.

they have some access point examples for pico W if you scroll down.

[dbisu]

I don't have any Pico W boards yet. I expect it will be a couple of months before I am able to get a board.

[dbisu]

and i can put a button for change usb drivr on or off?

No, previous experience shows that you can only change the state of the usb drive on boot. I tried doing this in the featherS2-ducky and determined there wasn't a way to make it work.

Using the Pico W as some kind of much much cheaper WiFi Duck device (check this guide out), would be absolutely phenomenal.

[Yolomic]

These are really cheap and would be really great if we could have something like this for them
Please post any updates you have :D

[dbisu]

I'm still working on getting a Pico W. They are not easy to get yet. Also, CircuitPython has not been fully ported to the Pico W yet.

[BjornTheProgrammer]

I have a couple of Pico W's. I would be more than willing to test and help out.

Hey @dbisu maybe you can open sponsorship for this project, so interested parties can help to afford the expenses of development (ie the cost of the Pico W boards, your time, etc.) In hope that helps.

It looks like WiFi support has been merged into main for circuit python.

[dbisu]

It looks like CircuitPython 8.x will support the Pico W. I should have a board soon. I expect it will take a couple of weeks for me to add support for some wireless features.

Hi! everyone is there any new? @dbisu can we do something that helps you?
