d.pico

Dayne's Raspberry Pi Pico / MCU

The enchilada that works now is focused on picoruby helper scripts.

warning: the intention behind d.pico is to collect the tools that help me setup & remember how to do things for Raspberry Pi / MCU hacking on Ubuntu/Linux and Raspberry Pi boxes. Not intended as broadly useful tools for others and not likely relevant for windows/mac/wsl/chrome environments.

TODO or NOTDO List

The d.pico is a half baked collection of rusty tools to help reduce the barrier of entry for me (and hopefully others) to get hacking on the RPI Pico microcontrollers. No grand schemes to take over the world or become tools so the TODOs are many and none.
