v0.11

A project log for nTerm2-S

A terminal emulator of my own liking. Using an ESP32, connecting to a VGA screen, and having sound. Based on the uTerm2-S and FabGL.

v0.08 had everything working to such extent that I could continue developing the software. Many, many hours have gone into the software, even though it was based on a library that already existed. So I postponed making a new version until I got much further into the software.

But in the mean time, I was updating the design. v0.09 was already there, fixing some missing thermal reliefs. v0.10 came and went, which fixed a few small details, including the mentioned capacitor. v0.11 added a pin header for connecting a volume pot, and had some improvements in the routing.

I ordered PCBs, which arrived after some time. I actually made videos of how I soldered it together, but due to lack of time and lack of experience with video editing, I have not processed them into a nice video yet.

But here is the end-result!

Of course, the story does not end here. Because I am a n00b, and I expect that a few of the people who have had a look at any of the versions I made, other than V0.12, will have spotted my mistake. :)
