How does the PicoIDE compare with the ZuluIDE? Are they direct competitors or are there different use cases?

I've been on the fence about getting a ZuluIDE for a while because of the price and because I don't exactly need one... I'll wait and see how the PicoIDE is priced.

The price will definitely be lower, and another difference is that PicoIDE will be entirely open firmware and hardware, while ZuluIDE is not.

ZuluIDE uses FPGA, PicoIDE is beautiful $1 rp2350 + buffers.

rp2040/rp2350 are the best things that raspberry pi ever released. From bitbanging HDMI to 400Msps logic analyzers https://github.com/gusmanb/logicanalyzer?tab=readme-ov-file#...
