This PR adds full board support for the LORD Board (Little Offensive Reconnaissance Device) — a fully DIY, ESP32-S3–based Bruce implementation with integrated wireless modules and peripherals.

The LORD Board is built entirely on perfboard/zero PCB with manual wiring, so it requires no custom PCB and can be easily replicated by anyone. It’s designed to leverage the full potential of the Bruce firmware, using:

  • ESP32-S3 with PSRAM for the interpreter
  • A 2.8" ILI9341 display with touch
  • Additional integrated RF and I/O modules

There is currently no existing Bruce board with this specific ESP32-S3 + ILI9341 combination.

This PR also includes detailed documentation and schematics to make the board straightforward for the community to reproduce and hack on.

Hello, how do I flash esp32s3 and pair it with ili9341?

How well is touch with this configuration? I just configured my own custom 'Bruce beast' as I call it with a s3 and a 4 inch ili9488 tft but I can't seem to get the touch to work. It has core
Sharing issues.

You must have this macro set on pins_arduino.h or platformio.ini

#define USE_TFT_eSPI_TOUCH 1 // touchscreen uses same tft spi bus
