OP-2 with no screen just an iOS app to connect with for interface.


Please no!
It's always the screens, I built dozens and dozens of Ornament and
Crimes and the screens were the main issue, getting supply of the
right one and not having any defects in them after powering up.

 Really?? people have been asking for a long time about this and they haven=
