Using the Badger2040 example with the Badger 2040W?

[shymega]

Hi,

I'm looking to write firmware for a Badger 2040W, based on this example, but using the Embassy framework.

I was just curious if the example needs adjusting (GPIO, RTC, or other variables) for the 2040W.

Thanks.

Hello, thank you for reaching out.

@Dirbaio I think you might be able to answer this :)

Assuming badger2040w has the same pinout as badger2040, this example would be a good starting point.

So, I've found this example, and I think it's adaptable for the Badger RP2040W.

I've flashed it, and it works with the e-ink display. I could make a PR for an example with the RP2040W scanning WiFi SSID broadcasts.

Just a quick Q - do we have support for wireless connectivity with rp-hal on the RP2040W?

[jannic]

No, we don't. Wifi/Networking is much easier to support with async support, and the async story of rp-hal is not yet complete. So for the Pico-W we usually suggest embassy.

I was actually planning to use Embassy (for my Badger, not the example), so that's good to know. For the example, would you prefer I keep it simple, and ignore the wireless functionality?
