Win a Clockwork Pi PicoCalc!

Open Boards Guide has teamed up with our friends Clockwork Pi to offer a brand-new PicoCalc to one lucky subscriber! The PicoCalc is CPI’s latest handheld cyberdeck, featuring the new Raspberry Pi Pico-powered ClockworkPi v2.0 board. The PicoCalc adds a backlit 67-key QWERTY keyboard, 4” 320×320 IPS display, SD card slot, 8MB PSRAM, double 18650 LiPo battery holder and power management, dual speakers, and a 3.5mm headphone jack to the humble Pico, transforming it into the ultimate microcontroller development platform.

An STM32 acts as a south bridge, handling the keyboard, backlight, and power management. In addition to the firmware for the device and keyboard, the 3d design files are all available on GitHub, enabling complete customization and the realization of any ideas you may have for modification or enhancement of any aspect of the platform. The included PicoMite BASIC firmware lets you experience a pocket calculator the likes of which Texas Instruments could never have imagined, and community contributions include retro programming languages like FORTH and Lisp to Conway’s Game of Life and other graphical demos.

So, how can you win? Simple: just sign up for the Open Boards Guide newsletter (above) and we’ll pick one lucky winner on September 15^th. It’s that easy! Best of luck!! 🤞
