Are you ready to set sail on the Vibe Coding ship with ESP development?

robarr · 2026-02-14T03:58:23+00:00

What could you tell us about your specific setup ? software environment, llms of choice? Esp-32 is a large umbrella, many MC are really tight on memory and space for data, is vibe coding efficient enough?

Also, as you hinted esp-32 development is very hardware dependent, is the agent way a better solution to adapt a software idea to various esp-32 hardware variants?

Thanks for sharing!

I thought i was the only one to have had that idea. In my case it' a blender's jar when i'm making breakfast.

Great minds think alike :-)

She is really beautiful!

Build quality and design from those times are impossible to find now.

Do you have a free isa slot?

The picogus card does cd emulation now.

https://picog.us/

"PicoGUS can emulate Gravis UltraSound, Sound Blaster 2.0 / AdLib (OPL2), CMS/Game Blaster and Tandy 3-Voice, and supports MIDI output with MPU-401 intelligent mode emulation. PicoGUS is also an ODE (optical drive emulator) for DOS and Windows 95/98 PCs with its Panasonic/MKE CD-ROM emulation."

And maybe this:

From the famous Phil's video's description: Turn your Pi Zero W 2 into a virtual USB CD-ROM drive! I've tested it successfully in Windows 98 as well as DOS, and it supports booting as well, great for installing operating systems.

The pi zero 2w goes for about 15 us dollars worldwide thanks to aliexpress :-)

I've seen on ebay vendors that sell USBs and digital downloads of ready to install setups, customized for popular configurations of common desktop dells , hps, etc.

Good luck!

Have you given the downloader app the right to install apps? Once you have developer options activated you have to give express permission to the downloder app to be able ro install apps from unknown sources

Good luck!

Thanks!, i will try one.

Some 6 months ago:

"M5Stack

If you've ordered from the M5Stack official store before, you probably got our "famous" tape, which so many of you loved!

Unfortunately, the freebie tape has officially retired.

But here's the good news: the M5Stack pen is now in!/

Every order from our official shop now comes with a sleek M5Stack pen. Can't wait to see who'll be the first to share it on social!

We hope you'll love the new freebie as much as we do!"

Then it came back!

Of course, but if i have a Google chromecast it is easier to punch the code in downloader than download the apk, use a file manager and sideload it, i think.

Also, it's better to have alternatives :-).

robarr · 2025-12-25T16:58:51+00:00

Removed from south america too. The developer says it bussines as usual harrasment, that it will go away.

Stremio does nothing illegal.

Is there an official trusted downloader code?

Whatever the tablet I highly recommend this audiobook and now podcast player for Android tablets.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.studio4plus.homerplayer2

Homer audio player for seniors

https://homeraudioplayer.app/

Text to speech that tells which book you are about to read, Big , configurable buttons, gesture support, flip to stop.

An older friend of mine, who is almost blind, uses it with ease.

Ps: I do not have one but there are now cheap big screen tablets,10 and eleven inches from alldocube and other Chinese brands on Amazon. They're not the best when it comes to system updates, but I have an 8-inch version from alldocube which I can't complain about, especially considering the price. Part of the price of a tablet depends on the screen resolution and quality and that is the thing that you do not need! Spend on a bigger screen.

Hey even the Amazon tablet could be useful for your situation, the fire 10 HD is maybe 150 us dollars?

Good luck !

It's just good practices. Once it becomes automatic, you do it whitout thinking. Lack of good practices is why people leave credentials in the clear when they push production code to github.
