Additionally, the font on the screen is TINY, about as small as could possibly be used on a screen of that resolution, and is unreadable except up close. Options for larger and/or simpler indicators should be provided

Thanks for all the feedback. Some quick replies:

  1. The white 4 pin connector is an extra I2C port to be used for other extra sensors if a user wants to use those. Not necessary for currently standard operation. In the next version of the board, we should maybe drop it, since not many people seem to be using it yet. If demand for it comes, we can always add it again.
  2. On the 4056 board, the pinholes are not the standard distance between them. Not a 2.54 pitch.
  3. Some tubes have shorter wires. We should include an extra wire extension wire and shrink tube with instructions on how to extend it.
  4. Thanks for mentioning the CP210x_VCP_Windows installing is M5burner instructions are indeed missing on the M5burner page. We will make a link to them (link)
  5. The font is indeed a bit small. We did many tests and for most people the size of the fonts was acceptable. We had the main data as big as possible and easy to read. Maybe we should make an option to accommodate for people with less good vision.
