<div dir="ltr">I had a back burner project that was bugging me because I was hung up on getting a dev environment for PI Pico working on my windows machine. So I turned Claude loose on it and discovered it can compile the code for me and present a .uf2 file for me to use. It split the code up onto the 2 cores just the way I was thinking without being prompted. When I pointed out the display and expander chips were on one I2C port and asked if separate I2C ports would be better, not only did it say yes but also explained why it's better. <div><br></div><div>I gotta say this is exciting but also a bit scary. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Apr 25, 2026 at 11:57 AM Eric Brombaugh via Synth-diy <<a href="mailto:synth-diy@synth-diy.org">synth-diy@synth-diy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">These are great ways to use it - as an augmentation of your own <br>

realtime (rather than offline) processing.<br>
