I spent much of last month playing with the new XRP robot (https://experientialrobotics.org/). Looks like a very nice platform for teaching robotics - but it has some weaknesses (IMHO).So I decided to fix them, and created an addon board, with the TFT display and more.
Thanks to @easytarget for display driver and font engine!
