Hello - I’m trying to get the Pico Display 2.8" to work with a pico 2w. The issue I’m having is that the Network module is not native to the Pimoroni version of the firmware, and I can’t find another comparable module.
I need the Pimoroni version becuase I need picographics. If I use the normal Micropython I can’t get the screen to work without picographics…
Any help would be much appreciated!

Which Pimoroni uf2 did you use?

I tried both
pico\_plus2\_rp2350-v0.0.10-pimoroni-micropython
pico\_plus2\_rp2350-v0.0.4-pimoroni-micropython
I couldn’t get the 0.10 to show up in Thonny, and while 0.4 shows up it doesn’t seem to have or be compatible with the network module.

Actually just tried the new pico2\_w-v0.0.11-pimoroni-micropython.uf2 and that worked!! Thanks all!

Yeah, pico2\_w **is** the one you want, **not** the pico\_plus2. The plus2 is this,

My Pico Plus 2W has just arrived without a uf2 uploaded. I need all the memory, WiFi, Bluetooth and Pimoroni Picographics. I cannot see a current uf2 which supplies all of this.

I can confirm that. Pico Plus 2W loaded with the pico\_plus2 uf2.

New **Pico 2 W** with **RP2350** :
Installed **pico2b\_rp2350-v0.0.12-pimoroni-micropython.uf2** - no **network** module.
Installed **pico2\_w-v0.0.11-pimoroni-micropython.uf2** - network module present but Thonny thinks the **Pico 2 W** has a **RP2040** …
Some consistency in naming required?
A table at [Release v0.0.11 - Pico 2 W Is Officially A Thing Now · pimoroni/pimoroni-pico-rp2350 · GitHub](https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico-rp2350/releases/tag/v0.0.11) showing devices and correct uf2 would make it so much easier to chose, download and install the correct uf2.
Maybe even put some guidance on the shop product page?

As V 0.0.12 has now been released I tried the Pico Plus2 uf2 file and that runs correctly on my Plus 2 W. If the Pico 2 W entry is actually for a 2040 chip then this needs to be fixed pronto. Or is it just the text string that is wrong?
I agree that it should not be this hard to simply find the appropriate uf2 file. The hard work has been done developing the underlying code and libraries. All we need is the signposts, and the correct files on GitHub(?).
I am reminded why I tend to stick with vanilla MicroPython wherever possible.

Is there a new uf2 for the PRESTO or do ee wait for the **Final** board launch?

@kelvinr As far vas I know if you try to load the wrong uf2 file, it just goes back into boot mode. If that uf2 was actually for the RP2040 it won’t flash to an RP2350, and vice versa. For the 2350 I just go to the link I posted above.
Where are you seeing the rp2040 reference? I don’t have a Pico2 W, just yet. I have some ordered that will arrive early next week some time. I have a Pico Plus 2 W, just not a 2 W.

@Tonygo2 It looks like the Presto has its own GitHub section.

There are a few boards like the Unicorn’s etc that have there own repo.
The rest are as follows.

I have just tested the Pimoroni Pico 2 W build (V 0.0.12) and in Thonny you get a choice of loading the interpreter for RP2040 or RP2350. Just choose an interpreter in Thonny that does _not_ include “RP2040”. A quick test shows Wi-Fi to be working as expected on my R Pi Pico 2 W.

I’ve now installed the latest v0.0.12 utf.

The Pico 2 W is working fine, I’m just a bit confused by all the RP2040 ‘sightings’
