Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

The Pico2 is intended to be soldered directly to the PCB.
The reason is the USB pads are on the underside of the Pico module. On the PCB the pads that align with them have holes so you can feed solder in to make the join.

There should be complete instructions In the "Other Downloads" section here https://geoffg.net/picomitevga.html

No, the WiFi code takes enormous resources.
Simply not enough left for HDMI or VGA.
