I bought it with ESP processor. Examples compile and run fine; shows lines, boxes, and colors fine, but no text. I started a forum thread but no solution for me yet. I guess others have resolved it but it eludes me. Guess I'm not a power user here. I've almost given up. Another feed back is that your online howto on this board does not mention anywhere that you need to press the boot button in order for Arduino IDE to upload code. Maybe not being a power user is the problem here as well. Anyway, my 2 cents. Paul

I have spent too much time working out the nuances of this board. There is only one example of the functionality of this board, namely the display. Had to spend the best part of three weeks to get to use the WIFI on the ESP32 processing board and to write data to the SD card. I have yet to work out the APA102, which I sorely need.

Seems like this was rushed to the marketplace with a lack of examples. How can the true potential of the board be unlocked without code examples? The forum does not seem to be a very active place.

I am having a hard time with your micromod products. I have collected qwiic products to use with them. I am trying to use micropython. I have had problems with finding consistent pinout diagrams across your products in the same product line. I have a hard time finding what to call the quiic lines in micropython on the different RP2040 products. I liked the carrier product line but can’t find simple things with the right size with the 4 holes. My sparkx collection is more apt to fit the carrier boards than your red product line. Simple things like a real time clock (RTC module) with a real coin battery, not a super capacitor to fit the carrier boards is missing. It seems you are trying to stay with Arduino rather than providing python based products when Arduino is getting so fragmented that it is getting much harder for the hobbyist to use. I also would like to see larger displays that can be used with micropython. For the record I am an elderly hobbyist person who is trying to use python as the new language to use to keep my brain active. It has been said that you should learn a new language to keep your brain active in your old age. My background requires that to be a computer language as my first one was IBM 360 assembly language on million dollar mainframes.
