Does the board even have a CYW43 and is it wired to the same pins as a Pico2-W ? If not use the standard PicoMiteRP2350 firmware?

Hello matherp

Sorry my fault,, load wrong firmware.

But there is a BUG in the PicoMiteRP2350V6.02.01.uf2 firmware,,, CPUSPEED is set to 200000 (kHz) and must be set to 150000 (kHz).

Regards
Thank you for your support

Why do you think that? 150000 may be the Raspberry Pi recommendation, but 200000 has been found to be very stable, and I have a RP2350B running at 340000 without any issues.
PicoMite, Armmite F4, SensorKits, MMBasic Hardware, Games, etc. on FOTS

The "official" CPU speed is overly conservative.

The 3 CPU speed options for the PicoMite VGA firmware are 252MHz, 315MHz and 378MHz and have never encountered a problem at 378MHz.
So I use 378MHz for the standard PicoMites as well, though some are stable at 420MHz.
  manual said  OPTION CPUSPEED speed 
NOT ON HDMI OR VGA VERSIONS
Change the CPU clock speed.
‘speed’ is the CPU clock in KHz in the range of 48000 to 420000. Speeds above 200MHz (150MHz for the RP2350) are regarded as overclocking as that is the specified maximum speed of the standard Raspberry Pi Pico.
Default speed is 200000 for the RP2040 and 150000 for the RP2350.
This command must be run at the command prompt (not in a program).
