I'm having a look at an ESP32-A1S audio kit that is widely available.
There is what looks like a handy GPIO breakout on the board.
Until you realise that 4 of the pins are pulled high for use with the buttons; 1 is a strapping pin and has to be left floating to use the built-in audio codec; 1is the shutdown pin for the amplifier; and 2 are the USB RX/TX link so their use is limited too.
So from the 9 IO pins broken out, only one is (as far as I can see) actually free to use!

Im using espnow protocol to link sensors to a pure data patch #esp32 #espnow #puredata #uidesign #design #arduinoide #interface #interfacedesign
In this video, I demonstrate how to configure the target device using a specific channel over ESP-NOW, utilizing the ESP32 Camera CLI project and the #ESPNowCam library.

My #ESPHome setup for the #mmWave presence sensor is ready! Next: design a case for #3DPrinting & soldering.
As config took some digging, here’s my setup: https://git.hierl.dev/benny/ESP32-mmWave-Sensor

Jamming on the idea of Hackdays-on-a-stick. An #ESP32 is probably too minimal as a device, but still educational how vendors like #M5stack try to package these low cost microcontrollers for schools and even kindergarten level users. #datahackdaysuri
Nice little trick to improve the WiFi on your #ESP32 boards with PCB antenna. The improvement is clearly visible

Not everything in this life is Drupal, and at the last Metcamp, our in-person annual meeting, we built a do-it-yourself remote-controlled boat. It was super fun, so we want to show you how to make your own boat!

It's Thursday, and that means another #Zephyr video! I dive more into the Devicetree and how bindings files work to connect driver code. There's even a challenge at the end to test your skills. Check it out!
