Yes, absolutely agree with you about the 5x5 LED being a limitation,
particularly with OLED/LCD being so cheap now.

Like codebug the LED matrix means you outgrow it, an LCD would keep it useful for hundreds of tasks.

All the buzz might be about the new improved Codebug model on kickstarter ( https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/codebug/codebug-connect-cute-colourful-and-programmable-iot-wearable ) meanwhile you can get the original codebug complete with badge kit for a reduced price of £6.77 at CPC/farnell: http...

Great to see it supports python now, and a lot of sensors also being launched alongside it.

I've backed it for December delivery.

So semi-confirmed features are:

RGB LEDs
Both WiFi and Bluetooth
Five way joysticks instead of a/b switches
Can run python

the corresponding i2c blocks could make things interesting if they're open and not locked to this board only.

What's this then... ?

Yes, it's an esp32 the bigger brother to the 8266:

also didn't realise esp32 now has internal temp sensor, and bluetooth as well as wifi.

Arrived and had plenty of fun with it: https://github.com/mikerr/arduino-oled https://camo.githubusercontent.com/666393b8e2dc200f6ec895cd3e5ba42e3877af9e/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f4e516e624879496d2e6a7067 Arduino based programming, so should work with ardublockly- https://ardublockly.emb...
