I already receive a bunch of ESPLAY MICRO PCB from JLCPCB two months ago but could play with it just a week ago. I don't have any esp wrover lying around so i salvage from another project and decided to assembly the PCB. So far after a couple hours of soldering some smd components it lives with some design bugs found later. The board work as i expected but later i found out some button didn't work, after check the esp32 datasheet i forgot add pull up resistor for some GPIO Pin.

GPIO number 34, 35, 36, and 39 doesn't have internal pull up/down. No problem i just add some external ones then it work perfecty, add some note to add them on next board revision. here some picture of it.


ESPLAY MICRO running retro-esp32 launcher by @Eugene Andruszczenko on his Gaboze Express, an awesome launcher design.

added some pull up resistor to get some button working. Next i will design a 3d printed case for this. I have design for top case like this
