Do you not compile the C code before uploading it to an Arduino or similar? I've never used an Arduino but have always assumed that the compiler was in the IDE not the device. been using a Wemos D1 which has some of these features plus Wifi, and programmed in c. That's an interesting device

This is interesting: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-silicon-pico-now-on-sale/ It's selling for £3.60 in the UK and comes with analogue inputs and multiple PWM outputs, so is ideal for the sort of physical computing that we've been doing at Wimborne Model Town. Having said that,
