Looks great.

Is there a power switch?

It's a little horizontal push switch next to the USB-C socket.

One more tweak - now takes both parallel 3.2" ILI9341 and 2.8" SPI ILI9341

Quote Looks like C5 is missing in the current PDF.

It was just a cap across the power pins on the header

Quote Will there be gerbers for

I can certainly make them available but won't have built any so there is a small amount of risk in getting some made

Is the LCD module itself centered on these, or is the viewable area of the LCD centered? They never seem to match in my experience.

Visit Vegipete's *Mite Library for cool programs.

Boards arrived and work a treat - no errors at all for once
Amazing service from JLC. Order placed 2023-10-290 19:19:29. Boards arrived this morning 2023-11-03 and I didn't even pay for the fastest shipping. I'll post gerbers tomorrow.

On a standard RP2040 Pico a few pins have reserved functions and are not available for general I/O in MMBasic. OPTION Pico Off makes them available for other RP2040 layouts.

Thanks Phil99

I tried to find that in the 5.07.07 manual but must not have looked too close.

It's a new feature in a recent 5.07.08 beta / RC, along with many others that aren't in the manual yet.

Peter has been busy!
