The Raspberry Pi Pico Software Developer Kit version 1.5.0 released with Bluetooth support #RaspberryPiPico @Raspberry_Pi

The official C++ Raspberry Pi Pico Software Developer Kit Version 1.5.0 has been released. While there are many, many fixes and enhancements, the standout is Bluetooth BLE support for the Raspberry Pi Pico W.

Per Tom’s Hardware, “With Bluetooth support, the Pico W can be used to create a wireless mouse, wireless keyboard or other peripheral (Bluetooth audio does not appear to be supported). So you can just imagine creating your own DIY mouse jiggler, but operating over Bluetooth instead of USB.”

The CircuitPython development team states this will allow CircuitPython to also support Pico W Bluetooth but no estimate when this may happen. At the moment, MicroPython also does not support Bluetooth for the Pico W but it is also likely in the future.

See more in the release notes on GitHub.
