our first version of the pico dvi bell didn't quite work, but the second version has the right pinouts and is ready for testing. here we're trying it with CircuitPython *and* WiFi support: so we're able to connect over the internet with SSL to a site, get data, and then display it on a monitor. since the Pico W requires a lot of memory for the wireless connectivity we're using monochrome DVI output which means we have about 50K remaining after the framebuffer is allocated for the DVI display. CircuitPython supports 1, 2 or 8 bit color which you can configure based on your memory availability!
