low cost 32S on ESP32-S3

Unfortunately, it uses a limited Micropython version that has about 6 digits of floating point precision and exponents limited to 10^35. So that would severely limit its practicality as a useable calculator. If anyone has a library of Python code that can do floating point functions with 10 digits of precision using 32 bit integer numbers (to work with), that would significantly help this side project.

Certainly these two projects seem equally interesting but I'm a little less of a fan.
The absence of a keyboard and especially the "tablet" format makes us think of emulators for smartphones or tablets. (already more than 30 emulators on my smartphone...)
In addition, the cost of the M5Stack Paper is not comparable to the cost of the M5Cardputter for a poor result for a scientific calculator ("about 6 digits of floating point precision and exponents limited to 10^35").
A format like the M5 K005 with keyboard would have appealed to me more because it looks more like a calculator than a smartphone.
