Hi !
I already know how to use Pico without the WiFi, but now I want to learn how to use the Pico W version. What I don't understand is what WiFi chip shares with the other Pico functions.
On Pico:
- GPIO23 controls the DC-DC converter
- GPIO24 can read the VBUS voltage
- GPIO25 controls the on board LED
Now, on Pico W, it seems that those 3 Pico GPIOs are connected to the WiFi chip GPIO. But for me is not making sense. Ok, maybe the WiFi chip can control the on board led to show its activity. But what it has to do with the VBUS voltage and the DC-DC converter ? Or the Pico can control somehow the GPIO pins of the WiFi chip (WL_GPIO0, WL_GPIO1, WL_GPIO2) ?
Can I still use the Pico W GPIO 23, 24, 25, like I was doing before, on non-WiFi Pico, if I don't activate the WiFi ? And when I activate it, I must not touch those GPIO pins ? Is that the rules I should respect on Pico W ?
