Oooo good suggestion!

Exact same here - larger components/modules

Great point! I was weighing the pros of smaller form factor with the drawbacks of learning curve, etc.. perhaps when I get further down the road and have a truly finalized design I can go this route.

My air quality logger is getting smaller!

Adding onboard battery capacity and moved some stuff around to consolidate.

Anyone have any experience designing their own PCB? I downloaded KiCAD and tried to slog thru but found it quite tough.

Cool site! I’ll take a look when making my next purchase 🙌🏼

Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions or wanna connect should you decide to do something similar.

that's the plan! I'd like to incorporate a few more sensors (CO2, Particulate matter at least).

The previous PMS5003 I've bought were defective, so i'll see about getting a new one to demo with.

And then wiring properly so it uses a proper rechargable battery (not my bulky battery pack).

ESP32S3 connected to BME680, and GPS module, which were used to capture data.

Thought it would be cool to track environmental conditions on walks / bike rides. #ESP32 logs ride GPS & environmental data to a Pi/InfluxDB.

Created a web dashboard (Flask/Leaflet on Pi) which for now, tracks VOC, humidity, temp, pressure.

Shoutout gemini 2.5 & claude 3.7 for helping massively

lol this is always my first question

Over the last 2 days, I’ve been playing around with #claude 3.7 - using natural language prompts to code this “virtual pet” on:

- ESP32-S3 microcontroller
- 1.8” TFT Display

Took about 7 iterations to reduce pixel trailing, eliminate flicker (switched to TFT_eSPI library), & enhance effects.

Old man Boone’s kid??? Dude he’s good

yup in Austin I went once!! Did you like? I remember an earthy taste.

Yeah big time

Switched to full wfh earlier this year and the distractions are endlesss. I need to try coffee shop!

Dude thank you - was a far cry from the 18 miles I was planning on running.. but my legs were screaming after switching to a new pair of brooks

Thank you!

LOVED this book 💙📚

My first by V.E. Schwab and I’m excited to check out more of this author’s work - super talented!

Ok also this might look cheap as fuck but hot glue is so perfect for holding this in place.

Made this little cavity between layers to hide the esp + wires, magnets to hold enclosed.

(I am open to any better suggestions / recs on how to do this tho)

Redesigned with some matte purple and rounded corners (trying to make it cozier)
