 The following hardware is what I used for a deployment:

 If it worked you should see the display show a message about connecting to WiFi, then syncing time and finally displaying the local time. If it failed, you can monitor the app via `mpremote repl` or using an IDE like [Thonny](https://thonny.org/).
