Hi [mention:dc11ece8204f479e8dce2a47a33b20d3:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], have you used this WizFi Pico board yet?

So far I'm not at all impressed - I can't even get the basic WiFi samples to work [emoticon:ca08b2c27c2f40e993e89508acf29e0b] And WiFi is kind of their whole point [emoticon:752f32bcc91d4a448db162742a877a4a]
I'm using the Arduino IDE with their library.

I noticed two project submissions so far, but they both use AT commands directly. sigh.

I've posted questions on their board, so I hope they'll get that sorted out soon.

That's great! Good luck on the contest!

I received one too [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8] They look like very interesting boards (like the Pi Pico).
My plan is to see how it compares to my Wemos D1 mini as an outdoor temperature sensor.

I've already run into a few limiting issues, sadly - mostly because they do not support WiFi in MicroPython yet so I have to use the Arduino IDE.
The Arduino IDE supports the RP2040, but with every library I try to use there seem to be incompatibilities - the OneWire library is a key one I was using for the DS18B20 temperature sensors, but it hangs the board (just hold the bootsel and upload a new sketch when that happens). I was also having issues with the BME280 on I2C, as I can't figure out which pins to use for I2C, so my next step is to try SPI so I can define the pins myself.

Funnily enough, I will most likely have to combine the element14 thermistors challenge with the Wiznet challenge, and use thermistors for that sensor!

Hope your project goes more smoothly!

I hope that this board works well for you planned project. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Nice... I've used WIZnet ethernet boards in the past with good results - look forward to hearing how well this works for you.
