Just a quick thumbs-up for some sort of expansion board (Grove, Arduino or other). I have been playing with my Pico, and it is very nice to work with, but I have been puzzling how to actually put it in a project that is not tied to the USB port. Without USB, some other form of communication will be necessary. I am also playing with the ESP8266-12 (the Adafruit board) which I like very much. At $10 each for the chip and breakout, I think it may be the easiest way to get wifi to the Pico. A Grove header would be useful for quick connections, and some way to get to the 0.05" pins, which are useless to me now.
