PIMORONI PicoVision dual RP2040

 PIMORONI have released a clever board that combines a Pico W with a second RP2040 chip and supporting electronics complete with an HDMI shaped output, a 3.5mm headphone socket and a micro-SD card reader.

It is available on its own or as part of a complete box set.

I bought the complete box set.

The Pico Vision uses a complete Pico-W board as the main microcontroller, which is attached to the Pico Vision board.
The second RP2040 acts as a GPU.
One of the clever items in the box is a USB splitter cable which allows a USB device to be plugged into the board while the socket is also powering the board.

Now to actually use it.
