I received V1.4 of this board... it has slight changes to the I/O configuration. These boards are just a blast to work with. Have a look at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4565213 for a 3D printed case design in openscad. Software support for these is through the Arduino IDE and libraries from https://github.com/fdivitto/FabGL. If you like esp32, you need more than one of these boards. It can even emulate a whole Altair Z80 computer box and terminal in a few cubic inches or a VIC20 or run all kinds of ancient video games (prehistoric stuff from the 70's or 80's!)..

Connect a PS/2 mouse and keyboard and VGA monitor to this board, add power - from a USB micro socket - and the microcontroller initialises, providing a simple GUI environment with windows, buttons, timers and text fields, which you can test with the simple interface. It's fast, it multitasks (you can use more than one item at the same time) and it's re-programmable, though as yet, I haven't researched how to do that. One drawback is that in this ever-advancing age of consumer electronics, VGA monitors and PS/2 mice & keyboards might be hard to find, though some USB mice and keyboards can emulate PS/2 if you use an adaptor. If you are buying a new keyboard for this application, please be sure to check that you can use such an adaptor.
