I’m the one who added the Pico support to Blinka. You did a great job explaining this.

[jeffro.]

This is an awesome tip from such a young dude. Thank you!
TBH, I don't think I would've discovered this on my own, and I've been "playing" with microcontrollers for decades.

[jamesharper]

Great job explaining this. Adafruit would do their customers a real favor if they posted a link to your video on their Pico page. Much thanks.

[Bannerz]

My dude. You're going places. Thanks for the great, clear, easy to follow instructions. Great video

[graemecollis]

I did not realise you can mix both versions of python libraries in the same code, excellent, thanks.

[patrickkirchner]

Thanks for the clear explanation. Until I watched your video I had no idea you could mix Circuitpython and Micropython. It's all still magic to me but at least I know it's possible now.

[WeirdMatt]

Thanks for an absolutely brilliant video! Clear instructions, no waffle, just exactly what I needed to know! Fantastic!

[hungrybulldog]

Dude u just saved the day, and here's the thing that I only found your video and no ther explanation to do this, nobel future awaits you 🔥

[digitalarchieves]

Great job! I was looking for the possibility of using libraries from both versions of Python, and you explained it very beautifully. Keep it up. You have a talent for it.

[toddknudsen]

I knew this was doable, but didn’t know the steps, so thanks a bunch for the jump start!

[graemecollis]

The folder src is an abbreviation for source. You probably know just mentioning in case. In the old days we had to be frugal with all bytes.

[ianleitch]

Yet more magic revealed. Thank you, it's appreciated.

[sutcliffestu]

Excellent just what i needed!! Thanks for showing this and thanks @Maker Melissa's Lab for adding the pico support. I'm hoping this will work on my Tiny2040 too.

[Alvin_Ajith]

This is exactly what I needed ! Thanks buddy ❤

[rayr]

Great job, using this you try and use usb_hid AND micropythons Wifi connectivity on Pico W.

[leightaylor]

Great video and really helpful. This is the 2nd time I've watched it, makes a lot more sense now I've had a play with micro python and circuit python. The very limited storage space does seem quite a problem though. Thanks again.

[hostasgrasses]

Dude! You are awesome! Keep up the good work.

[tonyguerich]

Thanks. But I will have to watch again after my second cup of coffee. BTW. Love the theme song.

[alexgathua]

Well explained!

Could anyone have an idea of how I can set up sockets module in raspberry pico with either micropython of circuit python, it has really given me headache in the past two weeks? Any ideas will be much appreciated.

[ooloncolluphid]

nice video! I wonder if there is any performance penalty for this.
