Newt is a battery-operated, always-on, wall-mounted display that can retrieve weather, calendars, sports scores, to-do lists, quotes...anything on the internet! It is powered by the ESP32-S2 microcontroller and you can program it using Arduino, CircuitPython, MicroPython or ESP-IDF. We think Newt is the next step in the evolution of low-power display panels. Sharp's Memory in Pixel (MiP) technology is ideal for manufacturers, avoiding the slow refresh times associated with E-Ink displays. To support timers and alarms, we also added a real-time clock (RTC). Finally, we designed the Newt with battery operation in mind—every component on the board was chosen for its ability to run with low power consumption.
Hamster Mix is a portable MIDI controller powered by Arduino that connects to MIDI via Bluetooth. It allows you to control effects and play MIDI notes in 5 octaves. Twelve keys and the ability to switch up and down through the octave make it easy to control the notes of an entire keyboard piano using our compact controller (about the size of a hamster). Hamster Mix connects to Mac, PC, Ipad and even mobile phones via Bluetooth. You can control any MIDI-enabled music program such as Ableton, Garage Band, FL Studio, Reaper, etc. Two additional buttons and two potentiometers allow you to set up your own custom effects. You can even use the buttons as a Bluetooth track launcher instead of a keyboard. You can control MIDI-enabled mobile applications such as GarageBand, FL Studio Mobile, Reason Compact, Audiokit Synth One, Moog applications, and more. Make music on the go with Hamster Mix, which fits in your pocket, meaning no wires or bulky equipment.
Loko is an open source, battery-operated GPS tracker. It's a small, simple, and useful device that sends navigation data to its receiver via a peer-to-peer LoRa radio. Unlike other similar technologies, there are no ongoing costs. Loko is based on radio communication and requires no SIM card/monthly fee. It also works everywhere, even without 2G/3G/LTE coverage.
HiPo is a 3.52-inch e-paper display module the size of a business card. Content is uploaded via NFC via a convenient app, no batteries required. The development board can compile different display functions by editing the code.
The SOCORAD32, also known as the ESP32 Software Controlled Radio, is a professional grade hackable radio for amateur radio exploration, voice and data communications using simple AT commands. Just add a speaker and batteries and you've got a fully functional walkie-talkie. With a dedicated Push-to-Talk (PTT) button onboard, SOCORAD32 works right out of the box without touching a line of code!
Plant Bot is an open source project based on ESP32 that allows a single PCB to perform the functions of detecting humidity, watering, providing lighting, and controlling and communicating with the user via WiFi/BLE.
This is what smart home enthusiasts want to control their entire lights, thermostat, or any other smart device from their couch without having to activate a wall switch.
Flipper Zero is a portable multi-tool designed for developers and geeks with a toy-like body. It enjoys exploring digital content such as radio protocols, access control systems, hardware, and more. It's completely open source and customizable, so you can extend it in any way you like.
EVB-LIV3FL is a complete standalone evaluation platform for Teseo-LIV3FL low power GNSS module ST solution.
“Using the color of the desk lamp to show the growth rate of COVID-19 virus infections in a country or region, the display effect is more intuitive and not as stressful as chart data.”
Alex Newton released an IoT electrocardiogram monitoring (ECG) tutorial based on ESP32, demonstrating that remote cardiac monitoring can be carried out no matter how far the distance is between the doctor and the patient.
Alan Wang, a maker from Taiwan, used the MAX7219 LED module, the ESP8266-based D1 micro development board and MicroPython to develop a small tool that can update COVID-19 data in various countries in real time.
A distance monitor based on ESP8266 can remind people to maintain appropriate social distance at any time during the COVID-19 epidemic to prevent the spread of the virus.
Let’s see how to easily hack a remote control using ESP8266.
A low-cost, non-contact DIY infrared thermometer based on ESP8266 can help people measure their temperature safely and prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
