I think you need to explain that it is a modular microcontroller built on the ESP32-S2. There is an integrated touchscreen as well as plug-and-play modules to expand its use.

What language does it use, do you offer an IDE that can be programmed, or is there a free downloadable version.

Currently, RIMU is developed based on ESP-IDF. We plan to port it to platforms like Arduino, PlatformIO, and MicroPython in the future. The version as below. When releasing the code publicly, we will upgrade it to the latest version.

- ESP-IDF v5.3
- LVGL v9.1
