Pico Enviro+ MicroPython Examples
PicoGraphics
You can draw on Inky Frame using our tiny PicoGraphics display library.
Examples
The examples need network_manager.py and WIFI_CONFIG.py from the common directory to be saved to your Pico W. Open up WIFI_CONFIG.py in Thonny to add your wifi details (and save it when you're done).
You'll also need to install the micropython-urllib.urequest library using Thonny's 'Tools' > 'Manage Packages' or common/lib/urllib which contains a compiled .mpy version that uses less RAM. You should place this directory in lib on your Pico W.
Finally for examples loading images, you'll need sdcard.mpy from common/lib. You should place this file in lib on your Pico W.

Download a random (from a small subset) image from PlaceKitten.
Quote of the Day
inky_frame_quote_of_the_day.py
Load the WikiQuotes Quote of the Day and display it.
Random Joke
Load a random joke from JokeAPI.dev and display it.
Jokes are rendered into images "offline" by our feed2image service for two reasons:
- Saves the Pico W having to process them
- JokeAPI.dev needs TLS1.3 which Pico W does not support!
For bugs/contributions or to complain about a joke, see: https://github.com/pimoroni/feed2image
XKCD Daily
Download and display the daily webcomic from https://xkcd.com/
The webcomic is rendered "offline" by our feed2image service since xkcd.com requires TLS1.3!
