The terminal emulator and PC can be reconnected at any time to modify or update the running program. The Pico will then independently run its program forever. When the program is complete it can be set to automatically run on power up and the PC connection removed. Over this USB interface the programmer can configure features, test BASIC commands, edit the program and run the program. No special software or hardware is required other than the terminal emulator which is free. Program development is done on the Raspberry Pi Pico using a terminal emulator on a PC ( Windows, Linux or MacOS) connected via a serial over USB interface to the Pico's USB connector. The PicoMite firmware is totally free to download and use. All from inside this low cost microcontroller. You can save data to an SD card, display information on colour LCD displays, measure voltages, detect digital inputs and drive output pins to turn on lights, relays, etc.
Using MMBasic you can use communications protocols such as I 2C or SPI to get data from a variety of sensors.
MMBasic is a Microsoft BASIC compatible implementation of the BASIC language with floating point, integer and string variables, arrays, long variable names, a built in program editor and many other features. The PicoMite is a Raspberry Pi Pico running the free MMBasic interpreter.
