The Color Kit Grande is the latest update of the hardware kits which I started selling back in 2015. It started with the ESP8266 and a tiny B/W OLED display. A little later the ESP8266 Color Kit followed and added a bigger display with resistive touch screen to it. Buyers also had to do a bit of soldering to complete the kit.
Logic Analyzers can be quite useful to test and analyze hardware. In this short video I explain how to use the cheap LHT00SU1 logic analyzer together with PulseView on Mac OS X to test a new ESP32 development board.
If you are lacking good documentation it can be very hard to get started with a new device. I just couldn’t find a comprehensive example project for how to connect TTGO-LoRA32 V1.0 with the V3 version of the Things Network. So I hope this post …
The ESP32 platform offers a wide range of functionality almost out of the box. For instance you can turn a ESP32 with little effort into a Bluetooth Audio speaker. In this article I describing how I tapped into the digital data stream coming from a …

For a long time I had a 8×8 RGB WS2812 led module in my gadget box. The WS2812 led is a wonderful component for makers. It is easy to program and comes in many forms for a really low price. With just 3 lines (5V, …
Recently I was asked: “What do you need a development board for?” For me the answer is very clear. I love short development cycles. It’s much faster to verify an idea on a bread board before you sit down and design a PCB. Designing a …
For a long while now I was always looking for a development board that would help me to create battery-driven IoT projects. Since I couldn’t find it we decided to design one and sell it with ThingPulse. It only consumes between 25-35uA and accepts a …
This post shows how to use a I2S microphone with the ESP32 to show graphical representation of the recroded frequencies
The M5 stack has some clever hardware in its portfolio. Honestly, so far I only had contact with this camera module. Here is a super quick guide to get the camera running in your Arduino IDE
