My current project, which uses an ESP32, is a Domestic Hot Water Controller. It has temperature sensors which monitor the water in a hot water cylinder that has a heat exchange coil, and the temperature of a solar array. It then controls a circulation pump to transfer the heat from the solar array to the hot water cylinder. It also controls an electric immersion heater as a backup when there is insufficient sunshine. I used an ESP32 so that I could send temperature readings to a web page enabling me to monitor the system on my phone. It also has a "holiday mode" which prevents it using the electric heater whenever I'm away on vacation. The ESP23 connects to a time server so that it knows the date/time and switches back to normal mode the day I come back.
Like seeing the extra "functionality" on the 3d printer. basic and works. general question on processros and such, have you considered to use older cellphones and repurpose them for the computing power for projects? Have a few and not sure who to use them (and seeing how poerful they are with all the functionality (wifi/usb/etc compute and integrated power. any pointers would be appricated.
So far I’ve only ever used old phones for app development but I’m sure there are some clever uses out there. Smart home control panels are the first thing that comes to mind
What is the resolution of the each frame that is being sent to the esp maybe you can do some form of compression or reduce the resolution before sending it if you haven't tried that already
The new wall is 182 x 128 at 16 bits per pixel with no compression. It could be a fun video to demonstrate the pros and cons of different compression algorithms
Project. I'm building a weather station. 2 units. One sits outside. With a few sensors. The other inside. The two connect via ESP Now. That dev board would make an ideal home base station to display the relevant information.
Hey man, im currently working on a LED tube light project. My Idea is to be able to create a bunch of LED tubes that can work individually, or connect together and work as a group of tubes. This could be very cool if you can link them to softwares such as RESOLUME to help enhance stage FX for shows. Im a DJ so this is something that will be very nice to figure out. Please let me know if I can chat to you about my project. Love your videos.
Sounds like a great project! I get a lot of people asking if I can help but I don’t have enough time to get to everyone so I’m thinking about starting a discord server where people can share projects and get help from me and the community. If you’re interested in that I’ll be launching it when I post my new video soon!
This would be awesome for my stationary bike monitoring system I wanted a data collecting device to run train an ML model on cloud now I can use this to make that as well make a little fun game maybe on the screen to make cycling a bit more fun xD
Stupid idea. Retro PC! At 240Mhz. That is Pentium 1 speed. Agon Light uses an ESP32 as a video card. So I wonder if an S3 could run as a 200Mhz Pentium ( window 98? ). Core 2 as the video driver.. Or. Just a second ESP32! Usb 1.1 is plenty fast enough for a USB keyboard and mouse. Large SD card as a hard drive. Just needs a sound card ( another esp32? ) and you have the hardware needed for a retro PC. Anyone fancy coding a Bios and firmware? Lol
You can't directly compare clock speeds between a x86 and an ARM processor. An x86 processor can do much more in a single clock than the ARM processor can, because it has a much more elaborate instruction set. And if you want to build a PC compatible out of it, it will be even slower, because it has to emulate those instructions. Next to that: the ESP32 has so little memory, I doubt anyone would be able to built a fully compatible x86 emulator out of it.
Your intro music is too loud and drowning you out. Need to tone it down so we can hear you...
will be fixed next video
@@kritikkkkkk And try putting the mic a bit closer to your mouth, it'll help the sound sound less tinny
@@PureGlide Just troll chris he will definitely 😆
Yes

What would be the method to have this powered off of a DC power adapter or such, assuming there is on board memory
You can connect a 5V dc adapter directly to the on board USB-C port
Always love to see a new Tech Random video! Most underrated channel on RUclips!

xlights and everyone else has the same issue.

I would so make a mini rambley. XD\
Seriously, no nyan cat at all in the video?
Just for you here’s a clip of it playing Nyan Cat off the SD card:

At some point it makes more sense to just buy a Big TV instead of an LED Wall😅
You didin't get the point of the video
with rainbows in it ??? Most likely it'll make my projects gay..........
Good thing it’s June 🏳️🌈
