The final "WiFiSerialTap" prototype (left) and the "Soyabell" device (right), both housed in red, 3D-printed enclosures on a green cutting mat. A black USB cable loops between the two units, connecting the Soyabell to the WiFiSerialTap's USB Host port. Internal red LEDs illuminate through the plastic of both devices, and a second power cable is connected to the top of the WiFiSerialTap.

A screenshot of a terminal window displaying debug logs from the Soyabell project. The text on a black background shows "Starting Listener," followed by several lines capturing "Beep!" events with data for Frequency (F), Magnitude (Mag), and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). The log concludes with "Threshold Reached -> Sending Notification," a timestamp of "18:35," an "HTTP Code: 200," and a JSON response indicating a successful SMS status.

Finally! Telnet accessible serial output!

Three separate 3D-printed components for the WiFiSerialTap enclosure in bright red filament, resting on a green gridded cutting mat. The parts include the main rectangular housing with circular port cutouts on the side, an internal mounting plate with alignment tabs, and a top lid featuring decorative ventilation slats and the "ESP32-S3" logo embossed into the plastic.

Final build fits in my custom ESP32-S3 case (Onshape "WiFiSerialTap") in color "ugly red".

Do you have your favorite 3D printed ESP32 enclosure?

A top-down view of the "WiFiSerialTap" prototype resting on a green, gridded cutting mat. On the left is the red, 3D-printed enclosure (the "Soyabell") with a USB cable plugged into its base. This cable connects to the "USB Host" port of an exposed ESP32-S3 development board on the right. A second USB cable provides power to the ESP32-S3. Loose jumper wires in white, teal, and pink are scattered around the board, and a red power LED is illuminated on the microcontroller.

I did not want to tap into the DUT directly; instead, I'm intercepting the USB communication and making it available over WiFi so I don't have to risk my laptop in the kitchen.
The real bummer was that DevKit's USB port does not provide the power so... we need add it separately (bottom right).

The diagram shows a **Power (PC/charger)** block feeding **5V** into an **ESP32-S3 USB Host + WiFi Relay**. This central ESP32-S3 unit has a bidirectional **USB** connection to a **Target DUT (Device Under Test)**, labeled as **Soyabell, any CDC**. Below the central unit, a **WiFi** connection points to a final block representing an **Ubuntu host** running the command `telnet IP 23`.

I’ve settled on building a serial output logger/power pass-through accessible via Telnet.

Sure, I could buy a tool, but it’s faster to just build one with Claude and an ESP32-S3.

A red, 3D-printed rectangular enclosure for the "Soyabell" project sits open on a gray ESD mat. Inside the main housing, an ESP32-WROOM development board is mounted and powered via a USB-C cable, with a red power LED illuminated. Next to the microcontroller is a small, circular microphone or sensor component with visible wiring. The lid, which features a decorative speaker grille, diagonal ventilation slats, and the "ESP32" logo embossed in reverse, lies in the foreground.

How often does a project meant to simplify life just spawn another?

My Soyabell wasn’t reliably detecting soy-maker end-of-cycle beeps, so now I need to sniff the data. 🧵

That is a new angle! Nice!

No, I won't argue with you!

I did not 😉

I did recently! And I see it as a decent piece of software.

This very much resonates with my experience watching TaxAct saving, saving, and saving for minutes per step.

A late 60s pocket radio called Internet Satellite.

So several years before the term Internet was coined for a network of interconnected computer networks in the mid 70s. Several years earlier a small company in Beckenham Kent sold cheapo Hong Kong made pocket radios.
They called themselves Internet.
Here is one I bought today with box.

Magnifying lid on with internal sound. Not a lot to squish inside, although it's pretty crammed in there already. Maybe get away with fixed gain and bias if I can find a good setting that works with most stuff. And replace the earphone with an AV in.

Uber just notified me that the prices of rides to my airport are the lowest in month.
I guess, I will go to the airport today then.

The live test passed. Now to print the case!

It is amazing how 3D printing changed my mental frame of what is doable. Very frequently, in the past I was held back by my limited abilities to fabricate with metal and wood. Now, 30 minutes of one-off item modeling is all it takes.

is it a self-imposed deadline or you are rushing for Rue's Robot Expo?

Neat idea!
