You can see there is a list in the PCB, that points to some blocks. Each blocks give you one/ multipal features. So if you want a feature that you want, just solder all the parts in that block. Here is the list of the blocks
Blocks | Name | Feature | Priority |
---|---|---|---|
S-1 | Main Power Switch | Ability to turn on/ off the device | Must |
S-2 | Continuous Charging | It prevents device the reboot when you disconnect the charger | Optional |
S-3 | Boost & Charge | It boost the battery voltage to 5v | Must |
S-4 | Esp32-s2 + Reset | Controls everything in the device | Must |
S-5 | Vibration | Give vibration feedback | Optional |
S-6 | Real Time Clock | Keeps the time when device is powered off | Optional |
S-7 | MP6050/BME280 | Can use Gyro or see Pressure, Temp and Humidity | Optional |
S-8 | Expansion Power Switch | Can turn off display, expansion and the modules in S-7 block | Optional |
S-9 | IR Transmitter | Using IR mutantC can act as a TV, AC remote | Optional |
Here I Made 2 version that I think fits either of you if you are a Pro or a Newbie. See this comparison table to select which one you want to build. I will highly recommend building the Lite one as it requires less parts and time to build and you will miss a little of the features. And later on you can add you can also do your own custom build by selecting the features you want on top the Lite version.

My dream is to build something like this, inspired by the Nokia Communicator
