I didn't know it was so cheap. Just got a Pico W with 2" display for less than £30. Now I gotta port my Forth interpreter to ARM... looking forward to a fun weekend!

30 euros is robbery, the MSRP for the Pico is $4 and the MSRP a for the Pico W is $6

pi’s have been in a state of godawful inventory status, and consequently godawful pricing if you can even find stock, since 2020. I saw a thread recently that alleged that stock was kind of returning to normal ish, but I didn’t get a chance to read into it.

E: we’re talking about picos… I actually don’t remember if they’ve been normal price wise lately or not- apologies if that was a mildly irrelevant comment lol

Yeah the picos should be priced reasonably lol and if they’re not you should get an SAMD21/51, ESP32, or NRF52 and save your money

The Pico W was £6, I said I also got a display for it, and delivery was almost £10 for some reason.

That's what I spent for dinner yesterday so I'm not gonna lose sleep over this figure.
