Implementation (Incomplete)

• Simple display of serial in/out via lcd
• Button for accessing symbols and control sequences via pop-up list that aren't on keyboard
• Button for accessing password selection pop-up to help with password entry over serial
  • This should be configured via a text file on the sd card
• Way to display pinouts stored on micro sd card
• Configuration read from muxes (if attached)

Implementation (Complete)

• Battery level on feather neopixel (green = >80% ; yellow >=40% ; orange >= 25% ; red < 25%)
• User LED (red) always on when feather is running
• Battery level shown as progress bar in the upper right corner of the screen
• Config screen for Raspberry Pi UART/Speed
• SD card support (REQUIRED actually)
• SD Card information screen
• Keyboard setup
• 5 way switch for UI navigation instead of touch screen
• Button 4 as a way to switch between screens

Building / Uploading
