Hey guys. Got trwo of the PICO 2W based plasmasticks recently. Previous one are fine. These two won’t initialise the WLAN code, I get this as an error:
[CYW43] Failed to start CYW43
Anytone got any ideas? Using Micropython as installed by Thonny from github, the offered pimoroni version
Just to confirm, you have this one,
Plasma 2350 W
and not this one.
Plasma 2350
I only ask because both can do WIFI, but one needs the extra RM2 module added via the SP/CE connector.
I have the latter, but no RM2 to test with. =(
Yup, WITH the WIFI onboard. I did buy a couple of units without and had to get RM2 addons, but this time it’s the real deal. If you DO get an RM2, watch out for the pin assignments , yo need these :
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF, pin_on=8, pin_out=11, pin_in=11, pin_wake=11, pin_clock=10, pin_cs=9).
Some of the github examples are out of date…
An RM2 is on my wish list, but not for my Plasma. I have a Pico Plus 2 I want to add WIFI too.
yeah, that’s what I did, ordered the pico plus 2 by mistake. RM2 works really well and the pico 2 has enough out put to run the lights I’m using
My Pico Plus 2 is going to be used for a Weather Station project I’ve been working on. There is a Pico Lipo 2XL W in the works. I saw a reference to it on Pimoroni’s GitHub. It’s RP2350 based. =)
Can’t wait to see if that gets released. My weather station is going to have run on battery capabilities.
Did you get it working?
