Re: Shipping to Europe
The store automatically calculates shipping costs. The only thing to be concerned about is if the order will actually arrive given whatever shipping option you choose. For example, USPS usually gives packages to the nation's mail service which for some countries will never deliver the item.

I can fix that for you in a custom image after I get this release out.
Um, just a question, do you have a linux computer and do you know how to compile MicroPython? If so, you should just get setup with the firmware dev environment to have full control.
