With fresh support for the ESP32-C5, @circuitpython now has 5GHz wifi capability for Stations, Access Points, and monitor mode.

Interesting to see packets on channel 14 in the US.

Beautiful day for outdoor music. Twenty One Pilots did a great show to close out the first day of Riot Fest.

How to turn a $13 WIZnet W5500-EVB-Pico2 into a $5 Ethernet HAT.
@circuitpython can use both native wifi and Ethernet with this config, power and data with only an Ethernet cable (plus data over wifi).
The W5500-EVB-Pico2 is essentially just being used as an SPI Ethernet peripheral to the Pico Plus 2W (and to power the Pico Plus 2W).

Beautiful day for outdoor music. Twenty One Pilots did a great show to close out the first day of Riot Fest.
For #CircuitPython2026, I've distilled my 2025 #CircuitPython wish list (https://fosstodon.org/@anecdata/113773025044962141) to one item:
• asyncio support for sockets
(it can be done for TCP currently, though I don't think it's CPython-co…
In practice, with #CircuitPython, espressif can handle up to 65,444 bytes at a time over UDP, raspberrypi (Pico) can handle up to 14,792.
macOS UDP defaults to 9216 max, but that can be increased via sysctl.
With TCP, espressif limit is 14…
TCP provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery. UDP does not. Both have to pass through lower layers that have their own constraints.
In the context of LWIP, why does UDP socket receive handle something approaching 65535 bytes,…

The Pimoroni Pico Plus 2W (left) is the main microcontroller in this config, but it is getting power from the WIZnet W5500-EVB-Pico2 (right) via its WIZPoE-P1 module. The two Pico boards are attached via an @adafruit "Proto Doubler PiCowbe…

It would be nice to throw an RM2 onto any of the WIZnet EVB-Pico2 (W5100s, W5500, W6100), but the standard Pico pinout doesn't expose the pins that are baked in for Wi-Fi.
I think there's now support for alternate wifi pins in #micropytho…
PoE needs to be designed into the board, so that leaves only two options given the parts in the photo, if PoE is a deal-breaker:
• Waveshare ESP32-S3 ETH + PoE (total cost: $21)
• Pico 2W (/or Pimoroni Pico Plus 2W) + full WIZnet W5500-EVB…
Wi-Fi is typically cheaper. $2 difference between a Pico 2 and a Pico 2W (3rd-party boards using the RM2 have a much larger difference). Espressif-based ESP32 variants with native wifi in CircuitPython (e.g., ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3) are compet…
