ThingPulse provides a detailed guide showing how to solder and assemble the Color Grande Kit. You’ll also need to get a USB Type-C cable to power the kit. The guide also includes instructions to reproduce the Internet-connected weather station, also known as the “Weather Station Touch project”, as shown in the first image. They are working with the PlatformIO development environment in Visual Studio Code, and you’ll find the source code on GitHub.
Besides the weather station project, ThingPulse also ported an LVGL sample application to the platform and notes the hardware is compatible with the FreeTouchDeck project used for interfacing with Windows, macOS, and Linux using an ESP32 and a touchscreen display.
