“Presto is really cool. It would be even better if more applications were created. I made a demo for maze generation and solving.

“It's a fun thing, especially programming things on the screen is fun work.
It's still a beta version, sometimes I get a timeout when I ping a server while that server is up. But all in all a fun hobby thing.
I have one that shows the train departure times and one that shows the status and remaining print time of my 3d printers.”
Ahoy Manfred!
Thanks for the review! We're actually thinking about a hardware revision for Presto currently - what changes would you like to see?

“Great product.
If, like me, you like develop useless program in python, but hardware and soldering isn't your topic, then this Presto is made for you.
Fit nicely on your room, much more than any screen with visible PCB.
WAF is on top for this product :)”
“I used Presto to create a clock. This clock features a calendar function, slideshow functionality, and the ability to display pre-set messages.
Development was highly efficient as I implemented it using MicroPython, allowing me to complete the project in a very short time. Calibrating the clock via WiFi is straightforward, making it easy to maintain accurate time.
The RGB565 colour display offers excellent colour reproduction, and the backlight is bright enough to make it well-suited for displaying photos. Additionally, SanDisk microSD cards (I used a 64GB version) work perfectly without any issues.
The piezoelectric speaker is ideal for playing the hourly chime, and I have also implemented ambient LED effects on the back to accompany the chime.
The aluminium enclosure is solidly built and looks premium, making the finished application feel almost like a production-level product. Furthermore, the touch panel’s sensitivity is excellent, providing a smooth and responsive user experience.”
“Really well made unit, has everything you need. The touch screen is accurate, the backlight is bright if you need it. Having low and high res screen modes gives you the flexibilty of two layer drawing, or more real estate.”
