Hardware

Projects target Pimoroni accessories for the Pico and Pico W:

• Pico Display Pack — color LCD display with buttons and RGB LED
• Pico Inky Pack — eInk display
• Badger2040W — WiFi-enabled eInk badge board

All hardware-specific imports (machine, picographics, badger2040) only run on-device, not on a desktop Python interpreter.

Deployment

Copy files to the Pico using Thonny IDE or rshell/mpremote.

To flash UF2 firmware:

python3 tools/pico_flash/pico_flash.py -d <path_to_firmware.uf2>
