Not M5Stack product but 'family' ESP32-S3-Box MSFS2020 GPSout GPRMC and GPGGA data to 'esp-box'

Paulskpt

The Espressif ESP32-S3-Box is a product that looks like some M5Stack products. I own quite a bunch of M5Stack products. When the Espressif ESP32-S3-Box (V 2.5) came out, I bought it. It was my intention to port my ongoing MSFS2020 GPSout project to the 'esp-box' (the (nick)name that Espressif uses for this device). It was until last weekend when through @Neradoc and @hathach, the maintainer of Adafruit tinyuf2 bootloader repo, on my request, had added the 'esp-box' to the list of boards compatible for the tinyuf2 bootloader. From that moment I was able to build a tinyuf2 bootloader firmware for the 'esp-box'. When that was done, I was able to copy the latest version of CircuitPython (V8.0.0-beta.2) to the device. Finally I was able to port my project to the 'esp-box'.

That is why I created this post here so you can read about the existance of my project. See my repo on Github.

Note: because the 'terminalio.font' doesn't have a glyph for the 'degrees' character I used the caret '^' instead,
until I have added a font that can display the degrees character.

For some other microcontroller i have ports of the same project on Github.
