'Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico, a tiny little microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects with some code running on the microcontroller.'
Came across this <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaPJmCgseQw> very short demo of the π Pico running a BBC Micro emulator. Notice the board has no actual video output, so how is the video getting to the monitor? It’s programming the PIO controllers built into the RP2040 chip to generate the video signal in real time via the GPIO pins!
