TinyPICO Radio Part 1 - Micropython and the Local Oscillator

In this video I build up an I/Q style radio using a Tinypico running micropython as the controller

Tinypico can be found here https://www.tinypico.com/

The tinypico maker's youtube channel Unexpected Maker is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu94OHbBYVUXLYPh4NBu10w

Reference on Micropython can be found at https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/

The code I have built is at https://github.com/thaaraak/Tinypico-Radio

Note: I am not the author of the lcd, bounce or si5351 libraries. The lcd and si5351 were both for circuit python which is a little different and bounce I adapted from an Arduino library. Simple Encoder is also adapted from some arduino code I found and "micropython-ized"

The main starting point of the code can be run by import radiorun

The code itself is pretty simple - happy to answer any questions on how it works!
