I made an ESP32 captive portal that looks like a “Free WiFi” network… but there’s a little surprise waiting for anyone who connects.It automatically rickrolls you. Never gonna give you up.Want to make one yourself? I put the full tutorial on my website. L

Electronics made so accessible, even a complete beginner can master it. 🔌✨I built a full graphical operating system inside a $5 ESP32 board. No setup, no IDEs, zero code required.Here’s how it works:📡 Plug & Play: The ESP32 creates its own Wi-Fi network.

A servo + an accelerometer + an ESP32 = a tiny creature that moves based on how you tilt it.The servo is a small motor designed to move to a specific position. Unlike a regular DC motor, you can tell it exactly where you want it to go, and it will rotate

Can a tiny $5 microcontroller break into a Wi-Fi network? I built this device to audit my own network and show why online brute-force attacks fail against basic math.Here is what is happening under the hood:1️⃣ The Target: The ESP32 scans 2.4 GHz frequenc

Ever lost your phone in the weirdest spot? 😅 I built a DIY Bluetooth Hot & Cold Radar using an ESP32 to track down missing tech in seconds! 📲⚡️Save this post for your next electronics project & comment below: What’s the most ridiculous place you’ve ever l

Turned an ESP32 into a mini wireless TV! 📺✨I wanted a unique ornamental piece for my setup that could loop any video I want on demand. So, I built a custom streamer! The ESP32 hosts its own local Wi-Fi web server: you simply connect with your phone, pick

One of the hardest parts of any electronics project isn't getting it to work... it's making it look good. I used @meshy.ai to redesign the enclosure for my DIY flight display, starting from a simple idea and refining it through AI until it looked like som

Is there anything an ESP32 can't do?

They said it couldn't be done.I hear that a lot.Every time someone says a project is impossible, it just makes me want to try it even more.This time the goal was simple: prove them wrong.A tiny ESP32 wasn't supposed to be capable of this... yet here we ar

This is the crash course I wish existed when I started. If you've never programmed an ESP32 before, this will get you up and running fast. You'll get all my code, wiring, setup instructions, and everything you need to build any of my projects.

Did you know Christopher Nolan didn't make The Odyssey for a regular movie theater?He shot it using IMAX film cameras, which capture a much taller image than standard cinema cameras. That means if you watch it in a real IMAX theater, you're not just getti

This tiny digital billboard has already made me thousands of dollars.I put all 30,000 pixels up for sale for $1 each. Every pixel is permanent, clickable, and updates a real ESP32 display live.Turns out people really like owning a tiny piece of the intern

Built a DIY gyro for under $10! ✈️🛠️If you've ever wanted to build your own mini glass cockpit or drone stabilization monitor, here is a quick breakdown of how these hardware pieces work together:🧠 The Brain: ESP32 MicrocontrollerThis is a powerhouse litt

DIY Glass Cockpit on a budget! 🚀 Building my own digital artificial horizon using an ESP32 and MPU6050 IMU sensor.Flying standard analog instruments is great, but recreating a modern glass panel display like a Garmin G5 on a tiny 135x240 screen was a fun

There's only one throne on the internet.And right now, someone is sitting on it.Beat the current king by just $0.01, and the throne is yours.Your name replaces theirs. Your photo replaces theirs. Your message is seen by everyone.You stay King of the Inter

Built a sort of “EMP grenade” using an ESP32, an nRF24 module, a battery board, and a simple web interface. The device creates heavy interference on the 2.4 GHz spectrum, which is the same band used by WiFi, Bluetooth, wireless speakers, headphones, smart

I challenged myself to build a fully functional GPS tracker using some of the cheapest electronics you can find online.The entire project is powered by just three modules: an ESP32, a GPS receiver, and a GSM module, all costing less than $20 in total.The
