I want to build something similar but with bare metal Lua as an educational computer for kids. For all of the STEM toys on the market none have the magic of a 8 bit machine that boots to Basic. Except in this day and age Basic should be replaced with Lua.

This ESP32 device already has keyboard and VGA ports on it. Though you'd have to port or bridge the existing JS vga library to Lua. And, it's $11. https://www.tindie.com/products/ttgo/lilygor-ttgo-vga32_v14-controller/ https://www.tindie.com/products/ttgo/lilygor-ttgo-vga32_v14-...

  Looks interesting except for the ps2 keyboard and mouse ports. I'll take a closer look though.

    I believe USB host support is coming for ESP32, just not done yet.
