Hi, I saw the Pico on Adafruit recently and it looks great! A few questions that I couldn't figure out from the blurbs and this board so far:
1) Does the Pico have an RTC that can be accessed through JS? What is the power drain to keep the RTC running and a small amount of ram retention (not necessarily the whole space)? Is there some capacitance on the board (or is it reasonable to add some), to keep the RTC alive through a battery swap?
2) If I don't need USB plug, is it possible to cut off the connector without messing up the board function, to make the board smaller? The Digispark is made to allow this, I've heard, but it's a much less powerful board.
Thanks!
Paul
