Feature request (?): automatic start of a program on Pi Pico with BBC Basic
Hi,
I am working on a fun project to build a clock radio with a Pi Pico, a TM1637 and RDA5807 module. Because it's a project for the Dutch Big Ben Club (n Acorn User Group) I want to make a link to Acorn and I have chosen BBC Basic (console edition) as the programming language.
I want to start my program automatically every time the Pi Pico is powered on or reset. I tried things like CHAIN "!BOOT" and *EXEC !BOOT but these are not implemented. Is there a way to start a program automatically and if not, can this be integrated?
IMHO this would be a valuable addition to BBC Basic for the Pi Pico since it's a microcontroller and microcontrollers should work stand alone.
Kind regards,
Roland

Try saving your (tokenised) program as "autorun.bbc" in the root of the storage.0
