This release adds support for the new RM2 Wireless Module for Yukon, finally letting Yukon projects connect over WiFi and Bluetooth!!
⚠️ Back up your board files before upgrading to this release ⚠️
A wireless module of some form has been highly requested since the original launch of Yukon last year, but all solutions using a secondary chip (e.g. ESP etc) felt clunky to us. Instead, we opted to wait for Raspberry Pi's official solution in the form of the RM2 module. This module features the same CYW43439 as on the Pico W and Pico 2 W, meaning any code people have for those platforms will work directly on Yukon with minimal changes.
ℹ️ We are still waiting for custom wireless pin support to be added to MicroPython (micropython/micropython#16057), so for now the RM2 Wireless Module is only supported in SLOT5. Additionally, you need to flash your Yukon with either the wireless pimoroni-yukon+wireless-xxx-micropython.uf2 build. or non-wireless pimoroni-yukon-xxx-micropython.uf2 build depending on your planned used for that slot. Which build you have installed will be listed when connecting to the MicroPython REPL.
To support the easy switching between wireless and non-wireless builds, the flash allocation of both has been made the same. This unfortunately means that upgrading from 1.0.2 or earlier to 1.0.3 will delete your board files, so back them up first!!
Once backed up, it is recommended that you do a fresh install with one of the -filesystem UF2 files to get the latest of everything. Then you should be able to switch between the regular builds without loosing your files (but there is always a risk).
