Clockwork, maker of the DevTerm, has introduced the PicoCalc kit, using the ClockworkPi v2.0 mainboard.

“Code in BASIC, explore the magic of Lisp, taste the elegance of Unix, play retro games and digital music all in just 260KB memory,” Clockwork Pi writes of its newest creation. “In that golden age, BASIC made programming accessible to everyone and powered legendary machines like the Apple II, Commodore 64, and IBM PC. Now, with PicoCalc, you can write BASIC code like the pioneers anytime, anywhere, learn about the roots of modern computing with a retro UNIX clone, and discover what makes Lisp so unique, even enjoy MP3s and play retro games on minimal hardware.”

It supports a Raspberry Pi Pico H/ Pico WH series microcontroller board and various compatible modules.

PicoCalc features a 320×320 4″ SPI IPS screen, SD card slot, integrated onboard 8MB PSRAM, dual PWM speakers, 3.5mm phone jack and 18650 lithium battery charge & discharge management, providing the system with ultra-long battery life, and a full keyboard.

The schematics and related design materials are released under the GPL v3 license, and you can find them on GitHub.
