Support for: Raspberry Pi Pico (+Pico W) Remote GPIO?

[PizzaProgram]

Device name: Raspberry Pi Pico
Protocol: GPIO + SPI + I2C + built-in TEMP + PWM + AVC
URL: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/microcontrollers/raspberry-pi-pico.html

The RPi Pico board family is a cheap (~ $4) and great product, available since ca. 2022 with many GPIOs and features.
Both Pico + PicoW can be attached by an USB port. (The W = Wifi.)

There are many code examples out there, like:

• Firmata-Pico lang: C, C++
• Arduino-Pic lang: C , C++
• u2if lang: MicroPython ... can not support multiple boards attached!

But none of them support:

• industrial CRC during (USB = serial) communication
• proper error handling (disconnect / reconnect)
• ping / keepalive checks
• plug & play
• easy naming of the board ( robot2, roller-shutter11, basementLight23, temp47, ...)

The Taks:

... would be to use this great codebase and create a universal firmware for Pico boards to be able to communicate with them.

from gpiozero import Pico, PicoW 
pUsb1 = Pico.searchByName('ceilingLight')
pW2 = PicoW.connectByIP('192.168.42.42')

garden = pW2.OutputDevice(17)

I guess this is a similar idea to https://gpiozero.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pi_zero_otg.html but "creating universal firmware for Pico boards" is definitely outside of the remit of this particular repo!
