Looking like it should work, real data from the real server on the Pi -Next steps are -
Getting the Pico to login to my Pi and issue that 'ls' command.
Getting the Pico to connect to the server you want it to.
Adding a 'ShowLine' routine which will provide data to be parsed and put on the LCD display, done but currently sending back via the USB Serial link.
Proving that works by capturing some number of lines before automatically exiting.
Adding a 'quit' variable so your push button can activate that and cleanly disconnect from the server, capturing everything until pushed.
At that point I suppose it's 'pause time', where proof of concept that it all works is done, and it's time to figure out how to fit what you want in with that.
