PycoFusion

MOVING!

PycoFusion is moving, the reason why is because this OS is written Python for the RPICO, now the os is going to be in c++ for any rp2040 processor. All source code for the MicroPython version will remain up for a while. Also, v0.8.5-a base coce will be uploaded, it was in a template stage and all I needed to do was add the commands, but I don't want to waste any time in Python anymore. It was incredibly easy and simple to use, but I needed to make it faster...

Version: v0.6.5-a

PycoFusion is a lightweight open-source operating system written in MicroPython for the Raspberry Pi Pico W. It provides a platform for running user-written Python code, along with several built-in features to enhance functionality.
