Just because I’m deep in getting #PicoIDE into production doesn’t mean that #PicoGUS is standing still. Delphius and wbcbz7 are in the middle of implementing some pretty awesome things (and on the original RP2040 hardware)! Keep your eyes peeled 👀

Look what came in the mail 👀
It’s samples of the molded silicone rubber buttons and LED light pipe for PicoIDE! They look and feel great to use. I’m working on improving the color match (just need to find my Pantone book…)

I implemented the speedup for fragmented images for PicoIDE and I'm excited to see it in BlueSCSI as well! Big release all around for them.
