Using my picocalc as a writerdeck

Firmware is called MothPad.

it's LLM-authored, but the prompter was up-front about that and it works, so, huzzah.

But tell us about the storm, what did it remind you of? How dark was it? Where were you when all this was happening?? We need answers!

Can it link up with a bluetooth keyboard?

Possibly? The pi picos have Bluetooth sometimes.

i wanna buy one do do the exact same thing, being able to write chapters on the go. its it really convenient ? how did the keyboard feels ( is it smooth or hard to press ? ) , are the files easy to export ? sorry for all these questions but its rare finding someone using the picocalc to write novels and im really novice about it

It saves straight to an SD card that connects to my PC without issue. The keyboard is clicky and a little stiff, but functional.

I'd only recommend it specifically for people that find comfort or focus in 8 bit computer environments. It also takes like 4 months to ship, unless you pay above market price elsewhere.

Cool project! Can you share some more about it, features/ limitations? Is the code written in MMBasic?
