I’ve been in the HA world since the time the government placed the world under house arrest. Since then I’ve seen all sorts of amazing things people can do with an esp32 device.
So I’m late to the game. I always thought it may become a dangerous rabbit hole so I’ve just avoided it. But apparently I have 4 coming today so it’s about time to ask you guys what you do.
My first project was gonna be getting some Bluetooth tracking going on around the house to get some room prescence going on.
I also read I can make some seat/bed sensors with a little wire, aluminium foil, paper and a folder-insert, that sounds like it could be fun.
I have a breadboard and a bunch of components I bought when I first got a Pi. I don’t know how compatible these components are with esp32s or what the hell I can do.
I don’t have a soldering iron (yet).
So basically: noob post, gimme some easy projects that don’t require a lot, or wow me with your esp projects.
I’ve had an Ender 3 in my cart for months and just can’t quiiite justify pulling that trigger. One of these days, tho… Any day now.
Don’t. Ender 3 is ancient garbage. I upgraded an ender 3 to a k1c and I’ll never go back. The only time I don’t get FLAWLESS prints is because the filament isn’t fast enough. I can print benchy in 30 minutes in the slow speed. And best of all I never have to fuck with it. Ever.
I’ve got a friend that I’ve basically lost over the last couple of years because he bought an Ender 3 in lockdown and now he’s fat and pasty white because he just stays home making things with his printer.
Don’t buy it and don’t look into robotics, you don’t need to make a automated robot that can kill other robots Luke.
Sorry I’m projecting lol
