ALXV Labs Byte90

Byte90

The Byte90 is a development board based on the ESP32-S3 module, featuring a USB-C connector, a color 128x128 OLED, a button, and an ADXL345 accelerometer, all in a little housing that makes it look like a retro computer (e.g. C64, ZX Spectrum).

See the Byte90 product page for more information.

The espp::Byte90 component provides a singleton hardware abstraction for initializing the various subsystems.
