maker-described firmware target and interaction surface
The README says the firmware targets an ESP32-C3 driving a 240×320 ST7789 IPS panel with a capacitive touch controller at I2C 0x15, controlled by swipes and taps with no buttons. It does not identify exact modules, panel/controller variants, PCB integration, power path, touch calibration, gesture thresholds, final unit behavior, or hardware test results.
