  • Not at the moment I'm afraid. The Espruino WiFi board has filled that gap to some extent... http://www.espruino.com/WiFi

    It has:

    • WiFi (obviously)
    • 100Mhz vs 84Mhz
    • 512kB flash vs 384kB
    • 128kB RAM vs 96kB
    • A proper low-speed oscillator - so accurate timekeeping
    • Micro USB (but it does lack the dedicated battery input)

    It is tempting to try another board with the same small form factor as the Pico and to use one of the newer STM32F413 chips, but I'm not really sure there's enough demand for it (I'm not getting many complaint's about the Pico's power or memory) - and obviously the price would end up being a bit higher because the F413 is more expensive.

    At the moment the next device is likely to be an nRF52-based Pico-style board. Depending on timing it might use the nRF52840 (which has USB), so it'd be slower but would have loads more memory.

    It's also worth noting that you can actually overclock your Pico, and can use the extra 128kB of flash that the microcontroller unofficially has extra because of the way ST rebadges chips :)
