Could be useful for various things but the one I was thinking was for a basic hardware Id authentication token.
Plug it in and it unlocks and logs you in.I was hoping for something similar to how when you plug in a usb drive it can launch an app/explorer etc.
The polling mechanism would work, but is not ideal. It think event based in some sort of way would be best.
Thanks for quick response though. And great project by they way... :)
Cheers,

Interesting... Nobody has asked that before!
I guess the best way might be to make a program on the PC that kept trying to connect to the COM port... When it succeeded it could run some other code.
The only other option is to do something on the Pico - make it a USB HID keyboard that can enter the key combinations needed to run a command. Problem is that right now that works on Mac and Linux, but not Windows due to some driver issues :(
