The PicoCalc by Clockwork Pi is a unique pocket-sized computer that combines the charm of retro computing with modern technology. Powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico, it has a basic 133MHz dual-core processor and limited memory, echoing classic machines like the Apple II. The device features a rubber QWERTY keyboard, a 4-inch color display, and functions as a microcomputer for programming in languages such as BASIC and Lisp. It emphasizes the joy of tinkering and simplicity in design, challenging users to embrace limitations while exploring the roots of digital creativity.
It's powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico or the newer Pico 2, with a modest 133MHz dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor, just 264KB of RAM, and an optional overclock to 200MHz.
This isn't about maximizing power-it's about embracing limitations and rediscovering the roots of digital creativity.
The device itself is an odd but beautiful mix of retro and modern, featuring a 320×320 4-inch color IPS display and a rubber QWERTY keyboard.
With its compact form, rubber QWERTY keyboard, and retro-inspired software, it feels like something plucked straight from the golden age of personal computing.
