Assembled my PicoCalc today. It was really well packaged with nice instructions. The device itself feels really well constructed and has a few features you might not expect like speakers, headphone jack, volume knob, backlit keyboard, and inbuilt charger for the 18650s. Next step is finding out what the little BASIC shell is capable of.

Clockwork PicoCalc is a retro handheld powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico

The PicoCalc is a new handheld with a retro design. At first glance it looks more like a graphing calculator than a modern handheld device. But it sports a QWERTY keyboard, a 4 inch display, and a mainboard designed to accommodate a Raspberry Pi Pico.

Available for $75 from the Clockwork Pi store, it’s also the latest in a line of retro-inspired, modular, and open source products from the […]

My current setup for digital community archiving projects:

open hardware (#raspberrypi) as interfaces. small screens to avoid sitting *behind* laptop screens (pi 400, #adafruit cyberdeck hat, #clockworkpi #devterm).

portable #scanography for creative tracing and mapping.

graph writing in #obsidian, with self-hosted livesync and other plugins (dataview, graph link types, juggl). can be combined with social media webarchiving.

this all is building on prototyping and experimentation in the cooarchi.net art-doc-archive.net #urbandermatology and #opferschicht projects, and recently in the @MuseumfZK

I gave in and ordered the uconsole. Skipped 4g considering I plan to get the transceiver array expansion board once it's available.

Evidently time to shipping is anywhere between now and three months, skewing towards the latter, so I figured now was a good time to make it happen. Might order a CM5 and a carrier board so I can prep it outside the uconsole (if I get one with onboard storage...) in the coming months.

Been drooling over a clockworkpi uconsole for a while... Problem is I've never really had a viable use case. It *could* be used, in theory, with my radio stuff, but I have a full laptop for that.

And now there's this...

... Damnit.

(Also apparently it's compatible with the new CM5s?)

I have a similar but strange problem on both my #devterm and #uconsole that leads to me never really using them which I would like to fix! I can not seem to charge any batteries inside either device. I have tried 4 different brands. I wonder if this could be a software problem as I use a pretty custom desktop environment setup (e.g. some sort of power management applet is missing?) but it seems unlikely both machines have the same hardware issue? Has anyone encountered this? #clockworkpi
