Espruino on WROVER board

some weeks ago, I ordered lolin32 pro board
This is a board with ESP32 wrover, which has additional 4mb psram, sdcard and connector for lipo, priced less than 8€
Bad news, this is not available anymore on Aliexpress :-(
Found some chats telling it becomes too hot, which is not the case with mine.

Anyway, with some help from espressif (ESP_ANGUS), I got it working.
Have to figure out eventually, how to handle psram for Espruino

Interesting that they vanished - I got one too before they disappeared.

A nearly identical board is available - but it has the parts mounted directly on it, and no nice metal shield:

That listing is the one I bought from that got me the one with the WROVER module on it.

Sorry to jump into this thread. I just ordered a small dev board: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202221693890.

Are you seeing any issues with lack of metal shield / heat sink? It occurred to me that it might run hot.
