arduino-pico VS EnvOpenPico

I managed to get the Arduino IDE to work great with my Pi Pico's using earlephilhower/arduino-pico and TinyUSB in the USB stack. I can code for MIDi and do all kinds of neat stuff... But...

I am trying to build a data logger. Currently my hardware is a Raspberry Pi Pico W, a SHT41 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5776), and a small breadboard. Software is Arduino IDE, arduino-pico (https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico), and Adafruit_SHT4X library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SHT4X).

The standard Pico w SDK has examples for Bluetooth classic, serial connection, mouse control, keyboard control etc... Everything you need can be found HERE

If you want more guidance, you could use the Arduino framework https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico

If you are using the earlephilhower implementation of the Arduino Core for Pico, wifi is documented here: wifi docs

rp2040 is really powerful its not a conventional "desktop" raspberry pi, its a microcontroller similar to stm32 or the avr boards that the arduino uses. https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico for arduino support.

Do you want to do serial communications along with USB HID (keyboard)? Sure, you can do that with TinyUSB. I've done it with the arduino-pico core: https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico

I do like the pico and I actually like it enough to design my own mimick https://github.com/Envious-Data/EnvOpenPico which I intend to have a JST connector or a type-c connector instead of type-b so it can be used more easily within keyboards.
