I was thinking multiple RPi Picos to one RPi4, but for just one, that is probably the way to go. I'll try that first! The Pi Hat as the carrier board is also a good idea. On 1/21/2021 7:46 PM, Chris Albertson wrote: I'd bet SPI would work well but even easier would be to connect them to the

I'd bet SPI would work well but even easier would be to connect them to the Pi4 with USB. Both sides have software that makes the USB look like a serial port and the physical connection is done with off the shelf cable. I've used M0 boards this way in the past and using USB lets you also cnet

To answer some questions I looked it up... This is an STM32 microcontroller. The firmware makes it enumerate to a PC/Mac/Linux machine as a USB storage device. You program this this be drag-and-drop the binary file to the storage. (or do a "cp" from the command line) What software
