depends on what you intend
But yea what a world we live in where the most economically viable things are usb power banks, not even a radio
Pretty stale
Where is my cyberpunk distopia?
Expressif is a cool shop but they're in Shanghai
Shanghai
I love the esp8266
I built a small accelerometer with it, really cool project
yeah it's kinda amazing how it kinda just appeared in 2014
Have you played with esp32 yt
Seems a little choked up in supply?
I'm not paying 20 bucks for the development boards
Yeah I'm thinking the price would drop eventually
Or maybe they're trying to recoup the costs of the laowais they hired
found a picture
meanwhile im playing with a bbc microbit
it sent tcp packets to a socket that acted as a virtual serial port
The same form factor with some sort of gsm chip baked in along with upstream vendor support could potentially change the world
and then a python app read from the serial and plotted the data
Cool 😃
I still have like 10 esp8266 12E
and i don't know what to do with them..
If you've never played with rockets before, get one (they're cheap) and you can use them as live data loggers
what kind of rocket?
are the expensive?
they*
Estes; nah like $20-30 for a kit
With a pad and a janky electric igniter
oh boy
how do you retrieve it after it enters orbit
They don't go up that high, only thousand or two feet
yea was just jokin
if they enter orbit for 20$ Elon Musk would be broke
lol
A diy engine could be good though
A single bag of sugar is fuel for days
or some balloons with helium
Probably better
Yeah, maybe i'll tie an esp8266 to a balloon or something
