V6.03.00RC7
PicoMiteRP2040V6.03.00RC7.zip
PicoMiteRP2350V6.03.00RC7.zip

Fixes bug introduced in rnd()
Fixes bug introduced in POS/pos used in strings
Improved error detection in WEB versions
Additional parameter in OPTION WIFI
If set correctly this will overcome issues with things like channel 12,13 usage by a router in countires where that is legal

Quote OPTION WIFI ssid$, passwd$ [,name$] [, country$]
OPTION WIFI ssid$, passwd$ [, name$] [, ipaddress$, mask$, gateway$] [, country$]
Configures the firmware to automatically connect to a WiFi network on
restart.
'ssid$' is the name of the network and 'password$' is the access
password. Both are strings and if string constants are used they should
be quoted.
Optionally a name for the device can be specified 'name$', otherwise a
name is created from the unique device ID.
Optionally, a static IP address, IP mask, and gateway address can be
specified as 'ipaddress$', 'mask$', 'gateway$'.
Optionally a 2-letter ISO country code 'country$' can be specified to
set the WiFi regulatory domain. The default is "XX" (worldwide), which
restricts the device to the most conservative subset of channels and
transmit power. Setting the local country code is recommended and is
often required to associate with EU routers (for example AVM Fritzbox)
which may use channels 12 or 13. If 'country$' is omitted the
previously stored value is preserved; "" or "WW" both select
worldwide. The country code is a regulatory setting and must match
the country in which the device is operated.

Supported country codes:
AU AT BE BR CA CH CL CN CO CZ DE DK EE ES FI FR GB GR HK HU IL IN
IS IT JP KE KR LI LT LU LV MT MX MY NG NL NO NZ PE PH PL PT SE SG
SI SK TH TR TW US ZA
XX or WW (worldwide, default)

eg. OPTION WIFI "mysid","mypassword","myPico","DE"

eg. OPTION WIFI "mysid","mypassword","myPico",
"192.168.1.111","255.255.255.0","192.168.1.1","DE"

Hi Peter,
LIST PINS is still faulty on 2350B DIL (unless I'm using the wrong firmware)

PicoMite MMBasic RP2350B V6.03.00RC7
OPTION FLASH SIZE 16777216
OPTION COLOURCODE ON
OPTION PICO OFF
OPTION CPUSPEED (KHz) 200000

GP0 1
GP1 2
GP19 25
GP20 26
GP21 27
GP22 29
GP23 41
GP24 42
GP25 43
GP26 31
GP27 32
GP28 34
GP29 44
GP30 45

I've done a bit of research, gone back through several previous versions, and found that even before LIST PINS was included in the V6.00.002 firmware, the use of the "FreePins" code snippet in V6.00.001 gives incorrect Pin / GPx associations.
Each time I have been using Clear_Flash_RP2350.uf2 and FLASH ERASE ALL
I could have sworn I've used the command successfully, previously.

The firmware is correct. The pin mapping is for the Pico2 only. Pins above gp28 have "virtual" pin numbers that don't reflect any specific layout. The firmware can't know what variant of PCB a RP2350B is on and there isn't a Raspberry Pi standard for the RP2350B. Use GP designation and you can't go wrong and the code is transportable between different PCBs
