minus-squareswicano@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31·15 days agoLol I’ve got a esp32-p4 and I struggled to get the included example working. So. We’re basically the same. It’s a very impressive chip but Tomb Raider, wow that’s fantastic
minus-squareCaptain Aggravated@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·15 days agoI wonder about the graphics arrangement? An ESP32 doesn’t usually have video out.
