VIDI X Microcomputer

VIDI X microcomputer was developed by VIDI - a company devoted to the idea of making exceptional tools for STEAM education. VIDI X microcomputer is part of the education solution for engaging computer science.

VIDI X V1.1

Microcomputer designed for use in education, based on ESP32 Wrover IB, with modular circuit featuring removable touch screen and buttons.

Built-in expansion possibility with additional sensors or microcomputers via 28 pin expansion with male and female headers (I2C, I2S, SPI, UART, GPIO, IRQ - 3.3 V). All connectors are installed in male and female versions. There is also an I2C (VIDIIC) connector for easier connection to I2C sensors and actuators.

Absolute Newest

Every time we commit new code to CircuitPython we automatically build binaries for each board and language. The binaries are stored on Amazon S3, organized by board, and then by language. These releases are even newer than the development release listed above. Try them if you want the absolute latest and are feeling daring or want to see if a problem has been fixed.

Previous Versions of CircuitPython

All previous releases of CircuitPython are available for download from Amazon S3 through the button below. For very old releases, look in the OLD/ folder for each board. Release notes for each release are available at GitHub button below.

Older releases are useful for testing if you something appears to be broken in a newer release but used to work, or if you have older code that depends on features only available in an older release. Otherwise we recommend using the latest stable release.
