The PIC software is written in Great Cow Basic and has been released by ikonsgr. The board allows for TTL serial output and connection to a USB Stick as well as a ESP8266 WIFI module. The board has been used for many purposes including running games from Usb Stick, MIDI, RS232 and accessing online BBS.
