The Coriolis Effect – Ben Jordan and Bil Herd

In this episode, Ben will bring up the Neotron PICO beta unit sent to him by @theJPster (AKA Jonathan Pallant), a 100% open-source mini-ATX form factor development board centered around the Raspberry PI PICO and the RUST programming language.

If we're lucky, the designer of the Neotron PICO, Jonathan Pallant, will be able to join us and give us guidance about the bring-up process and discuss some of the hardware design decisions.

It sure is amazing that a $1 microcontroller now has more memory and performance on-board than the late 80s / early 90s 8- 16- and even some 32-bit systems we all loved back in the day. We'll dive into the details and see what the possibilities are for this little platform.

With Ben Jordan and Bil Herd.
