    @bipolaron I&amp;#39;ve just received my second revision of an ESP32-C3 prototyping board, and I&amp;#39;ve fixed an issue in my first board, which had a short circuit across the RXD and TXD pins. I&amp;#39;ve also added a CP2102N chip to connect to USB. Also, I&amp;#39;ve tried to add two buttons for pulling BOOT and RESET pins low.

    Today, while on my daily 4-mile lunch walk, I took my new white mobility cane for the first time. It functionally made my walk easier because I didn&amp;#39;t need to scan the ground in front of my feet the whole time, so I actually got to look around a bit and made eye contact with a few people, which was really cool. Also, it clearly signaled that I am blind to most people, which was, I think, a very positive change. Being blind seems to me to be clearly a part of what people perceive about...
