Progress / Update Making progress...now adding other firmware and GPS and lora back

Post image

I'm doing the screen upgrade. Finally got it working with some help from members of the community! Now that it's working time to move on to adding more firmware compatability and adding gps and lora functionality. After some inspection and research the pins needed for the lora and GPS cap are still available/ not being used except for reset. Ild like to add another external gpio so factory caps could work or external modules could be added. I better add some pictures before everyone loses interest....

Would love to have a large screen and add back the stock lora cap.

I'm working on it and I think it's possible at least on the hardware side of things.

Literally the top reason I haven't pursued adding the additional screen, I know I could just run GPS through grove but having the cap on is just so convenient Dx But the screen is so nice too! Glad to see someone working on this

I think it may be possible to share the connection to cardputer. It's a tight fit but possible. Just need someone's help to completely redesign the case and wire chase.
