I love the TinyPICO and use them in lots of my projects, and Seon is always helpful if there’s any issues. He’s put a lot of effort into this board and it shows

- dheera 5y agoSeconded. Also check out the FeatherS2, designed by the same dude: https://feathers2.io/ https://feathers2.io/ I actually like the FeatherS2 for one reason, which is that it presents itself as a USB storage device and you can just drop Python files into it. Easier than the `ampy` stuff you have to do with the TinyPICO, and it comes with a "Stemma" port that you can wire up most Adafruit/Sparkfun sensors to. And it has mounting holes, which are a godsend if you want to make a proper 3D printed case for your project. The only downside is FeatherS2 is CircuitPython and TinyPICO is MicroPython, and you don't get threading on CircuitPython.
- seonr 5y agoYou can use MicroPython on the FeatherS2 :) Obviously no USB mass storage mounting, but code compatibility with the TinyPICO .

- richardanaya 5y agoThank you for posting this, you tipped me over the edge to buy a FeatherS2
- cjdaly 5y ago... also check out the TinyS2, which has the form factor of the TinyPico, but it has the ESP32-S2 SOC - https://unexpectedmaker.com/tinys2 https://unexpectedmaker.com/tinys2
