Things used in this project

Hardware components

Adafruit Feather RP2040
Most microcontroller boards should work. I also tested this on an UnexpectedMaker TinyS2 that uses an ESP32S2.
×1
Adafruit LSM9DS1
Any sensor that has an accelerometer that you can read should work.
×1
1.28 inch TFT Round Display 240x240 GC9A01
There are many variations of these round displays available. Pimoroni has a similar version that uses a ST7789 driver which should also work.
