Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I'm beginning to think that life is way too short to consider anything to do with the ESP32. lol I now have a small collection of them in various states of being ignored in the hope that they'll go away. My smaller collection of Arduinos is going the same way (but they'll rust before I'll install the Arduino IDE again).

I finally tried to install Annex RDS on a CYD and have successfully converted it from being able to run the pre-loaded demo program into a do-nothing brick. Still, it came in a nice box and the stylus will probably come in useful. :)

It's my brain that's the problem. I'm just plain stupid when it comes to using software written by anyone else unless it comes with walk-through instructions. Hardware, I'm not too bad with but software scrambles what's left of my brain cells. I even have to keep looking at the manual for Libre Word - and I still can't figure out the Table of Contents even though I once used it! On top of that I'm icon-blind. If there are no tooltips then many programs are unusable because I can never remember what many of the lesser used icons mean.
