Very impressive. It is awesome how accessible PCB manufacturing is nowadays.
If only you could buy those fabled STM32s. :/

#12This looks excellent! I'll definitely try to learn a bit of what you've done
I'm making a similar project; a handheld Pico-8 console: https://github.com/DavidVentura/PicoPico/ although currently I'm stuck in the process of writing a half-working Lua-to-C++ compiler

I've got about ten STM32F103 "bluepill" boards. I wish I'd bought more and kept them in their original packaging, when they were less than the price of a cup of coffee.

Yeah I actually couldn't find any legitimate blue pills, I made this project using a clone blue pill which fortunately for the most part behaves exactly like a real one.
