I made this little desk pet a while ago and people seem to like them. Its interactive so you can pet it! If you want to make one yourself : makerworld.com/en/models/24... If you want to buy one already made : www.etsy.com/listing/4459...

If you could choose one device to be smart what would it be? Lights, thermostats, etc. I want to try my hand at creating some smart home devices that don't require any external internet connections and am curious what people need/want! #arduino #smarthome #esp32 #code #KEY #keep_everything_yours

Thank you for explaining, I really appreciate it. I will have to look around a bit more and may update my video. Would love to try graphene but don't have the funds to buy a newer phone compatible with it at the moment.

I'd probably try one of those ESP32 based CYD boards. They have an SD card slot and a DAC and connection for a speaker built in. Might be a bit of work but you can play files off the SD card and have the ability to change, pause, or play from the builtin touchscreen

Thank you for the reply! What are the more reasonable options? I made a video talking about /e/OS and how it compares to stock android. I did research but maybe not enough. So you are saying that leaving stock android on a device is preferable to /e/OS if I am unable to get a newer device?

100

Keep Everything Yours @keepeverythingyours.com · 27/03/2025

This is a naive question but what about compared to stock android? I have wanted to try graphene but my older phone is incompatible. /e/OS supports it however and allowed me to use a newer android version. Is that worse than if I had left it stock?

To be clear android will remain open source it's just the development that's no longer going to be public

Not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand I understand doing just about anything to streamline a #development process (esp. on something as large as #android) on the other closing things off leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'd love to hear opinions 🤔 www.androidauthority.com/google-andro...

A big part of keeping everything yours is learning how things work. With a bit of insight you'll realize a lot of things don't need your data. The best way to learn in my opinion is by doing and this GitHub repo has a ton of project walk through to make things for yourself github.com/codecrafters...

I think a short course on the basics of setting up ota updates would be super useful for a wide range of projects. Not just getting the code set up to accept ota updates but also how to build the project to get files in the proper format and showing some ways ota can be utilized.

After trying everything I could think of (Hardware + Software changes) I could not get power usage for BLE on the #ESP32 below around 100ma. Switched to a #nrf52840 and with no intervention power usage is down almost 15x to 7ma. If I put it to sleep that drops another almost 70x to 100µA! So Happy!!

I am happy to say that I am a liar! You can't use ADC2 however you can use ADC1. I (for the first time in my life /s) made a mistake in my code

Keep Everything Yours @keepeverythingyours.com · 31/12/2024

In case it saves anyone else from pulling their hair out all morning, you can't use the ADC and WiFi at the same time on a #ESP32 😑 Yes it's in the docs, No I did not read them 🤣 #electronics #coding #diy

I have never worked with the STM32 but I want to give it a try at some point. Not sure how it would all work but there is a broadcast option when using ESP-NOW on the ESP32 which is supposed to be a super low power communication protocol (Not that BLE is high power lol).

The ESP32-C6 is supposed to support ZigBee and Thread. I have never used it but I think it can be used the same as the regular ESP32 except it doesn't have to send the data over WiFi
