This board has been replaced by: FabGL development board

This is FabGL reference development board, which includes VGA output, Audio output, PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard input, Micro SD socket and Arduino style stackable headers.

Rev. 4 changes:

three jumpers to select colors count (8 or 64).
5V logic level converter to have 5V compatible serial port. This is configurable (and be disabled) using jumpers (see UART PATH) allowing TX on GPIO2 or GPIO12 and RX on GPIO34. TX must be disconnected when programming the board.
additional four pins header with RX (5V), TX (5V), GND and VCC (5V).
PS/2 port pullups connected to 3.3v instead of 5V to reduce ADC noise.

Includes PCB, ESP32-WROOM-32 and all required components and connectors already assembled.

I made it as reference board to develop and make new experiments with my FabGL graphic library.

The board must be powered up from the micro USB of ESP32.

This video shows an additional feature of dev board. You can connect the board to some TFT and OLED displays: https://youtu.be/OCsEqyJ7wu4

If you just need a serial 5V terminal, you may be interested to FabGL Serial Terminal.

It has been designed and built by FabGL author! Purchase this board if you want to support FabGL firmware development.

Cool Board just what i need

It dosen't any better than this, transfer the project and off you go. Whether CP/M or VC20, both without problems.

An affordable re-configurable Modern Day Retro Computer

My FabGL Dev board arrived today. Thanks so much Fabrizio for organising shipping to Australia. Although the circuit is simple, this board is extremely good value and I like having a professionally made board that will allow me to experiment further with expansions. The board is very well laid out and works extremely well. Now I'll have to design a fancy case for it. I love the example Vic20 emulator you ported, but I'll mostly be using mine to continue testing Paul Robson's Eris Modern Retro Computer. https://github.com/paulscottrobson/eris

Amazing device!

This board is, overall, amazing! I would make a few changes in the new revision though. For example, I think the VGA port should be in she same side as the audio jack, and and the USB data channels should somehow be forwarded to the front (same side of the PS2 ports) while the power lanes should forwarded to the back, with VGA and the audio jack. This would make this board more cable-friendly to stand on a table. This isn't in any way a complain, just a suggestion I think would be appreciated by other buyers.

The documentation lacks tutorials for getting started and first steps for kids, this would make the kit more user friendly I think. I would gladly help with that if necessary, as I plan to start creating blog posts about it anyway.
