There’s nothing quite like old-school computing. Thanks to maker and developer Gary Explains, you can relive the classic coding experience of the 80s and 90s with this Raspberry Pi Pico Basic interpreter. The project is called PiccoloBASIC, enabling users to program simple projects using the Basic programming language.
According to Gary, the project offers a few simple functions that users can take advantage of, including commands like let, if, print, for, goto, and gosub. It also can interact with GPIO pins fundamentally—no pun intended. While it’s somewhat limited, users can still perform familiar beginner projects like blinking an LED and Hello World.
