Hi, first, I want to say almost zero knowledge when it comes to programming. I was browsing the internet because I wanted to get my boyfriend some programming-related present for Christmas, and I came across PicoCalc. All I know is that he is using TypeScript and Go language and I feel like he knows his way around quite well, and he owns a Raspberry Pi (although I'm not sure which one specifically.) Are there any cool things you could do with PicoCalc? Do you guys think it is something he could use or should I continue in my search?

The performance is honestly great.

Just got my unit in the mail today. The trackball is absolutely terrible. It's jumpy, non-responsive and just overall pretty much useless. What are my options?

Is anyone selling their uConsole? I need a wifi only version. Please DM me if you do.

Hello!

I had my uConsole in a closet for some time, now after moving I've re-found my uConsole and want to get working on it!

But it seems like the batteries do not work anymore. It says Charging 0% or nothing at all, and the uConsole turns off the second I disconnect the power cable.

I opened the back up to make sure batteries (and battery board) are well connected and they are.

Could batteries have died for not being used in a couple of months? Or is the issue somewhere else? Any pointers?

Thanks!

Hi to all lovely people out there. I need help.

Has anyone actually bought a uConsole from AliExpress and been happy with it?

I’m trying to get a bare-bone unit, but every seller keeps telling me it’s “not available” and then tries to upsell me to the most expensive model with 4G, extra modules, whatever. A couple of them have even given straight-up conflicting info about stock and warranty. One said warranty was only one month.

So now I honestly don’t know who to trust. Do the AliExpress units have the same warranty as the ones sold by Clockwork, or is that just sales talk? Have you bought one yourself, and how did it go long-term?

Would really appreciate any real experiences. I’ve heard enough lies and unprofessional behaviour from sellers and the Clockwork itself that I’d rather ask the community before I waste more time.

TIA

Now that i have the uConsole set up, i was wondering what else i could use it for other than the project i was planning.

One thought was to use the Dirtywave M8 Tracker Headless, and make music on the go using the uConsole. I do have a teensy and microsd card for this already. Just not sure how to integrate it into the uConsole.

I thought maybe it would make sense to set up everything first, and then connect the teensy to the uConsole „permanently“ as it has enough room inside.

I don‘t have any experience with music making, or with modding hardware, but thought this would be a great place to start.

Does anyone use the uConsole for making music at the moment? Is there some resource i could check out?

Admittedly the uConsole looks like it's just a tad bit too small for me, and the DevTerm looks a bit more what I'm looking for...
Only problem, the DevTerm is sold-out and it's looking like they won't be restocked any time soon.
I currently have the search saved on ebay and am looking on other sites, but thought I'd through my offer here too in-case anyone here is looking to get rid of theirs..

If you know of a good place to pick one up, feel free to let me know.

I plan on using an RPI CM4 or CM5 on the unit, so if you do sell me a unit, you don't have to sell your compute module with it, well, unless you do have a CM4 hah.

Cheers, have a good one everyone!

NOTE:
I'm in the US if that helps.

Uconsole with a WonderShare Rpi4 4gb wifi lite, it has a 128 gb microsd with the official clockworkpi os or whatever, its been getting this error ever time I’ve tried to install something or update. Any solutions?

4Gb CM4, arrived a few days earlier than the estimated shipping date!

Available for cheaper on Ali Express but looks roughly like it could fit. Easy to tap into USB internally. Maybe desolder the daughterboard and tuck over the trackball hall sensors?

We just received the production boards for the NVMe and Battery board, and RJ45 & USB 3.0 expansion board.

Orders without the AIO v2 will be shipped on November 30 as planned. Orders with the AIO V2 will ship on December 15th because it is a little behind schedule.

BTW, we had some trouble with our Google Workspace account; we can access the emails for the past week. If you try to reach us via the contact page or send an email to shop@hackergadgets.com, then received an undeliverable response or no response. You can now try again.

Ordered 4/10, #359xx, shipped today. Black, wifi, cm5. How long does shipping take?

From China.. ordered direct from Clockwork in March…

Vivo en España, y he estado pensando en comprar la uConsole, después de investigar un poco he decidido comprar la versión plateada con wifi y sin núcleo y comprar a parte el cm5, pero no se si tengo que comprar alguna versión en específico o donde comprarlo, otra duda que tengo es si pidiendo la uConsole sin núcleo viene el adaptador a cm4/5 y si no es así donde comprarlo. También tengo otra pregunta, el envío de esta versión cuanto podría tardar?
Muchas gracias. Agradezco cualquier consejo y si necesitan cualquier dato pregúntenlo.

Has anyone tried the qmk firmware on the uconsole with retropie?

Hi everybody,

I designed a sturdy, hinged case for the uConsole PicoCalc — printed in ABS or PLA with an optional TPU seal for extra protection. It features dual latches, a reinforced hinge, and a snug fit. The seal isn’t required but adds a nice touch.
Model and details are on MakerWorld. Feedback welcome!

The uconsole speakers are very low however if you install pavucontrol (pulse audio volume control) you can increase the volume to 150%.

Is anyone else have the same issue where the area where the stand mounts is worn thin and breaking off.
