I see from other discussions that the Waveshare RP2040-Zero works with the remapper.uf2 firmware. Is it likely that it will also work with the RP2040-Zero that has its USB-C port on a separate adapter board? I'm guessing that it should, since the hardware appears otherwise identical.

I'm also wondering if you'd expect it to work with the RP2040-One board, which has a USB-A port instead of USB-C and 4GB of Flash memory.

Apologies if these are silly questions. I'm new to RP2040s and I'm not a software developer, so I don't know what to expect. If you haven't tested these boards and think there's value, I'm happy to pick up a couple to try out. Perhaps we could then add a table of compatible devices to the Pico webpage.

Thanks for your fantastic work!

I haven't tested personally, but they should both work, the type of plug that goes to the PC shouldn't matter here.

Cool, I'll give them a shot. I'm thinking of fitting a board into the chassis of my Trackman Marble and then having a detachable USB-C cable.

I can confirm that remapper.uf2 firmware works on both of the Waveshare boards(RP2040-Zero, RP2040-One).

Thanks for chiming in! I've been going through my options and now I'm leaning back toward the basic RP2040-Zero. I can get a three-pack for CAD$20 and it seems like the most versatile one to have handy.
