FWIW, I'd also massively underestimated the difficulty of coding the PICO, I'd assumed it was running a multitasking OS, like busybox, but I see it isn't. I guess there are a whole bunch of gotchas there too.

With a single core things might get tricky, but the PICO has dual cores. So you can run code on one core that just sits in a tight loop taking measurements if you need to, and the other core can take care of everything else, such as comms with the outside world.
