Nice to see YouTube showing adds that deliberately try and mislead users.

Adding a battery? · atomic14 esp32-zxspectrum · Discussion #26
What's the name of the connector for the battery on this board, and what batteries would you recommend for usage with this board? What's the best run time we can get with a battery hooked up? Anyon...

Pretty easy - it’s already got the battery charging circuit.

Pretty impressed this worked. Back when I was doing my PhD simply extracting the numbers from an image reliably would have been a good result.

Nothing like scratching your own itch. Wanted a nice easy way to convert from ZX Spectrum SCR files to PNGs. There are some nice command line tools for doing it, but here's my web version. www.esp32rainbow.com/tools/scr-to...

I’ve got ESD protection on the USB port and the ESP32 module seems to be pretty robust. To be honest, I was expecting it to fail horribly.
000
Chris Greening @atomic14.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
Next step will be RED testing - which hopefully should be straightforward as the module is already CE certified - but I wanted to get at least the basic certification done before that.

Chris Greening @atomic14.bsky.social · 15/12/2024
And I think this is testing to see what interference is getting back into the power supply (though I'm not completely sure).

The stock keyboard firmware doesn’t support key up/down events - which makes playing games pretty hard.

Keyboard is a bit useless on the T-Deck. But this is running the same software as my ESP32 Rainbow.

Yep - it’s a work in progress, and is very targeted at my own ESP Rainbow board, but runs on pretty much anything.
