So far, I've been using a Raspberry Pi, or Pi Pico W for the GPIO control - and assuming Wifi access from the device for "remote control" from the GUI.

As the need for ocnfiguring the wifi of Pi Pico W came up, one idea was via USB from Piggui.

That made me think of this idea: to add USB between host (piggui) and Pico (porky) as an option in addition to network (tcp, iroh).

The advantages of this:

  • extends devices supported to those without Wifi (Pi Pico and others)
  • makes it easy to use (just plug in the device with USB) and need less or no config of the device
  • would enable us to config the wifi of the device if it has it, for later disconnected (via USB) use

If we get usb raw working for all functionality then bail on this and remove the usb-tcp code from porky
