“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.”
“Lots of fun with this. Dusted of my python, worked out the quirks of MicroPython and now have a Octopus Energy Agile price graph along with hooking in to Home Assistant to display (and control) the central heating.
Like other who have mentioned the USB C port would have been better coming out of the rear instead of the side, but it's just a minor issue.”
“The Pimoroni Presto is a brilliant bit of kit, and has far exceeded my expectations. It’s my first time playing with MicroPython, and even with a Beta Edition and the lack of docs associated with that, it’s been a breeze to use. It’s exceptionally slim and well designed - very Apple-esque. Even the Mrs is impressed, and she is never impressed by my Pi bits”
“Seems very good product, I ve start to use it just a little. Maybe some remarks. Is it possible to have more example, like how use HiD (can be cool to create "stream deck"), or examples to create "launcher", compatibility with Circuitpython, maybe one day . Else very beautiful product”
“This is really quite powerful - my first dip in rp boards and once i was pointed to using thonny on the forum was off to the races - can even use it to control Home Assistant - I have a poc working. i also updated the two clocks with timezone support with buttons to change timezone. screen is bright and the device seems to be functioning flawlessly for a beta - thanks Pimoroni!”
