I'm glad you visited Wifi, and look forward to visiting Bluetooth (which seems the harder one to learn for me). Once I got wifi working on one pico, I've been simply using the same code in all of my projects. My favorite was to make a clock send a signal to a doll across the room to occasionally turn it's head and stare at my wife now and again. Three weeks work for a 5 minute prank, lol. Thanks for all your attention to the pico, I always look forward to all your videos.

XexusNH - THANK YOU VERY MUCH - WOW! That will certainly go a long way to help fund the channel. The idea of "re-using" code, as a framework is a great way to prevent "re-inventing the wheel" on every project. Cheers, and welcome to the channel. Chris

Hi Ianhayden2839, Thank you very much for kind words, and, I do agree with you, the PICO W is starting a love affair with me too! Cheers! Chris

I no longer bother with Pi Python or HTML coding, I go directly to ChatGPT tell it what I am trying to do and the code is displayed on the screen in less than 60 seconds for me to copy and paste. At 74 this is a real blessing as I pretty much have forgotten how to code in HTML or Python. If I want to add additional sensors or functions I just cut and paste the existing working code into ChatGPT and tell it to add what ever it is that I want to add or delete. If by chance the code does not work I ask ChatGPT to debug it and it does it great and even apologizes for giving me the incorrect code. Works for the Arduino also. SPOILED!! Nice video again

I have not messed with ChatGPT yet. I am still game for the challenge but the older I get, the more value I see in ChatGPT ;-) Cheers! Chris

I make a lot of electronics/small helper circuits at the moment and can't focus on where my Pico's should go (yet), so fixed instructions in a video are very helpful for some ego/"it works" until it's time.

It is a great way to get a started with your own explorations once you figure out what you want to make. Cheers! Chris

thonny can be configured to have the shell/repl to the right/left ( i use the "ne" option aka northeast = right top), in thonny, goto help, bottom option = Online, in webbrowser choose 'custom layout' for explanation. i now have 2 configuration.ini saved on desktop and batch files to copy the setup i want to use. (not tested in thonny 4.* version but older 3.* on linux)

Hi Jyveben, The next time I am coding I will have to give that a try (if I remember). That might help improve the video presentation. Cheers! Chris

I've been having good luck using the Microdot web framework on my Pico W, so far at least. Tho eventually, even with wifi power save mode supposedly disabled, the wifi interface still seems to go down/crash after a while. In some cases I just have it restart once a day, other times I use the watchdog to handle things, depending on situation. Not sure if there's better solutions..

Hi @NikoKun, Thanks for sharing that information. Do you think the crashing is caused by Microdot, or by something else within the WiFi network? Chris

@@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut Hard to say. I think I was having similar issues using other frameworks too, like Phew. Eventually after a day or two, the wifi interface just stops responding, and it's rather hard to automatically detect, without creating a whole system to periodically ping a remote address. My gut tells me it could just be hardware issues with these wifi chips, but some people seem to get their pico w working way more reliably, so I'm not positive it's hardware either. And it seems to happen with several of my Picos.

@@NikoKunThat certainly can be frustrating. The ZoomTown experiment project coming up will require all the robotic cars to constantly communicate with the central computer. I am hoping I don't run into too much trouble like you are experiencing.
