Holy crap. It arrived a day early, and it almost ruined my night. Spot the error. That's right, the TXD and RXD lines are the wrong way around on the UART. If you spotted that, you're a liar, it's invisible. But fortunately, I can use the JTAG interface to flash the ESP32 instead. Hot damn, lucky.

The SDVX board I designed, in the flesh. The right USB port is connected to the UART chip marked U2, which is wired incorrectly and can't be used to communicate with the ESP32. 

Fortunately, the left USB port is hooked up directly to the ESP32's D+/D- pins and flashing can be accomplished by holding the BOOT button (marked SW1) when plugging the device in.A screenshot showing the ESP32 acting as a USB gamepad with one button held down.

Re-dedicating Gene Roddenberry's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Star Trek Day 2026. Since Gene's star was the first to honor a writer, Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry invited Star Trek writers to the event, possibly the biggest gathering of Trek writers, ever.

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.
