Hmm, I've used #Electrodragon for many years. A smaller Asia/Pacific #electronics parts shop w a boutique feel. Small circuits, parts, modules, some used stuff, but fun all around.
They've been very good, and tho' a bit low on documentation I can usually get everything I acquire there working, tho' sometimes with a bit of effort.
A recent order isn't moving at all. Makes me worry they might be at the end of their run? Will try a query to see. Fingers crossed.
Anyone else here doing stuff with #CircuitPython on an #ESP32 board?
I got through the installation and I can edit and run code in the web editor now... but that stores the code directly on the board, which is rather inconvenient if I want to do things like put it in a git repo, and use an IDE for editing. I could edit the code on my laptop and then upload the files to the board through the web editor, but that seems very tedious.
Is there a tool that does some kind of automatic sync for this?
So I bought a bunch of stuff to build an #epaper#weather display based off an #esp32 board, sort of mixing and matching stuff up from a few project I had found.
I had assumed that the hardware would be supported by #esphome, but the amount of stuff that especially me actually supports is... Disappointingly low.
So, besides learning how esphome works, I now get to figure out how to add a 3rd party library in there and how to write a panel description so it can drive it.
Had similar long term ambitions on ESP8266 when I started esp-open-rtos a decade ago, but ended up being hired by Espressif instead. 😅
From inside we always had theoretical support for open sourcing more of the WiFi stack, but it was never going to become a priority unless some high tier client demanded it...
Hello World! Firefly Zero is an in-development handheld game console that runs #wasm and supports #BLE multiplayer. It is written by @orsinium in #Rust, runs on #ESP32, and will be fully open source (both software and hardware).
We already have a working desktop emulator and are getting a Rust and #golang SDK ready for alpha testing. Sounds fun? Stay tuned!
I appreciate that they made this ESP32-C6 super small, BUT how am I supposed to work with this? Are there also tiny breadboards and tiny jumper wires that I can get?
Anyone have any experience with these #ESP32 Cam modules?
I installed the example camera code and it works, albeit with pretty low quality, but it makes an audible crackling noise only whilst streaming. It sounds like a faint old school spinning hard disk.
It’s unnerving since the module has no moving parts. 😬
Something else I've been meaning to do for ages - I've started playing with some ESP32 modules. This is how I got up and running to the point of running one of my Mozzi sketches on an ESP32-WROOM-32D using the ADC inputs and the DAC output.
I'm writing about Meshtastic, a decentralised, peer to peer communication network that uses LoRa radios.
My initial experiences with it are not that positive, but I learnt a lot along the way, and thought it would be useful to share with the world what I found out so far.
There's a bit about frequencies, antennas and all that hamradio stuff.
Running the game Doom on the tiny color display of an commercial electric toothbrush.
The Toothbrush contains an ESP32-C3 microcontroller (4MB Flash). With the codebase from Spritetm and miniwad data file, you are able to get the complete size of DOOM and WAD file down to the 4MB of the ESP32.
