Hi to all kind geeks .. an others ,

I volunteer to teach programming to 10-12 year old kids from disadvantaged families who cannot afford a computer
I bought ESP32-SBC-FabGL from TinyTronics, eagerly awaiting delivery.
In the meantime, I have made wiht protoboard a VGA/PS2 picomite that looks very similar to ESP32-SBC-FabGL.
I'm wondering why not replace the ESP32 with an rp23050 while respecting the connections for VGA/PS2 picomite running on V6.00.02. .
The advantage of ESP32-SBC-FabGL is that it can directly manage an LCD screen.
For these kids, making their own laptop would be fantastic.

Why Picomite ,i want a BTB(Boot To Basic) with embedded Editor .
It's the first step for that kids and also simply i use it .. it's easy to use and the community is very dynamic .

Second step is Python on the same board ..

You can say why not use PCEmulator ? I used real XT pc when i was young ..wait to get my ESP32-SBC-FabGL .


Thanks to all, and see you soon.
