New product for UPEW (Hopefully): PTP

The Propeller Touchscreen Platform (PTP)·is a Propeller Platform compatible board that drives my new $10 3.5" touchscreens.
It also has amplified audio output and a full-size SD card socket.
There is a spare EEPROM socket that can also be used to attach my 3AD accelerometer for screen orientation detection.
There are also holes to attach a 4-AAA cell battery pack to the bottom for several hours of·mobile power.
This is the final prototype that had one small error that has hopefully been fixed because I've ordered a bunch of them!
If everything goes my way (who knows), I'll have some to show at UPEW.
I'm also thinking that if I just populate the right hand part of the board, I could sell it at a much lower cost as a Propeller Platform Shield that you could just mount on your Propeller Platform.

But, I think you could use the audio or SD pins and maybe I2C pins for something else...
If one really needs a lot of free pins,
one idea I'm toying with is using a fully populated PTP on top of Prop Platform, but with just one or two pins connected between the two and having the PTP act as a serial controlled display...

So, I think there are 2 other pins that are freed up after the display is turned on.
