Earlier Picos could be overclocked at 150MHz, but that overclocking often comes with caveats about doing that.

Hi Jack, do you have any links where we can see that info about the *pi pico 2*? afaict, news has been released that the original Pi Pico has been bumped from 133MHz to 200MHz. I don¡¯t see anything about the Pi Pico 2 though?
Having said that, the Pi Pico 2 is interesting because¡ - it already clocks at 150MHz - it has FPU and DSP on the arm cores - is available as a ¡®W¡¯ version already (for about ?6.60 in the UK) with 4MB flash and 520KB RAM
I won¡¯t be surprised if a speed bump for Pico2 is announced later, but it has taken some time for that to come for Pico(original), and the Pico2 has not been out that long, so I guess we wait and see.

Using CMake, the new speed setting in the compiler is a symbolic constant: PICO_USE_FASTEST_SUPPORTED_CLOCK=1. I don't know if the Arduino IDE recognizes this or not. > > There's been interest here in using the Pico as a second I/O processor in the T41. The Pico W has 26 I/O pins, 2Mb of Flash, and WiFi/Bluetooth support. No price was given for the Pico 2 nor did it say anything about WiFi/Bluetooth support, but the standard Pico W is about $8-$10. If I see additional info, I'll post it here. > > Jack, W8TEE > > -- > Jack, W8TEE
