Basic for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico 2
ASIC for the Raspberry Pi Pico & Pico 2 The PicoMite firmware for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico 2 is a complete operating system with a Microsoft BASIC compatible interpreter and extensive hardware support including touch sensitive LCD panels, SD Cards, WiFi/Internet and much more. MMBasic is a full featured 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.
Touch Sensitive LCD panels are supported allowing the programmer to implement sophisticated graphical user interfaces with on screen buttons, switches, keypads, etc. For removable storage SD cards can be connected with full support built into MMBasic including the ability to open files for reading, writing or random access and loading and saving programs. MMBasic on the Raspberry Pi Pico implements a large subset of Microsoft's GW-BASIC plus some more modern programming structures documented in the ANSI Standard for Full BASIC (X3.113-1987) or ISO/IEC 10279:1991.
