General • Re: BBC BASIC on the Raspberry Pi Pico?

Just as a quick question: How difficult would it be to change the VGA output to use an ST7789 type TFT display like the one included on the Tufty Badge?

It would be a fair amount of work. You would need to replace all the VGA display generation code which uses the Pico Scanvideo library by corresponding code using the Pimoroni ST7789 driver library.

So it sounds like a challenge for a skilled programmer. Which I am not (-=
But I also have a Pimoroni VGA Demo board and several Pi Pico's with and without WiFi.
So I guess I could just play with those instead.

I know there's also a Sinclair Spectrum emulator for the Tufty Badge, which was my first reason to buy it. But since I recently discovered BBC Basic, I was just checking to options.

Thank you for the quick reply AND this amazing project I must look into soon!
