The page says setup guides and example firmware will be posted before the first batch; the example apps are not preinstalled.

Field notes

The board exposes its own interaction hardware: four mechanical keys, a touch pad beneath the solder mask, and a 2.41-inch AMOLED display. Its expansion header is intended for additional hardware, and the page lists Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, and ESP-IDF as programming options. The illustrated macros and dashboard are examples only; Oddworks says the board ships blank, with setup guides and example firmware planned before the first batch.
