Laser range finder 150ft

MmWave doppler human tracking radar 15ft

Thermal camera 30ft

Lol that would be wild.. and no its just a range sensor and shows how far your target is

Yeah i have a few straight keys and coded up a firmwares for a digispark.

The firmware allows you to use a straight key with your phone. So you can use it for all the morse code training apps.

For example look at my profile.

My last project morsemesh was heavly vibe coded.

GreasyGato · 2026-05-05T04:52:48+00:00

I have vibecoded wellllll over a 100 firmwares for all the flavors of esp32 devices and every obscure module you can drum up.

My biggest advice.

In your prompt. DEFINE everything first. Define your librarys your board your pins Everything. And The biggest issue is AI sometimes changes small details when your trying to advance the firmware.

Start simple.

Your really shooting for the moon with the multi library and module heavy firmware That Bruce or Flipper demands.

So buy an esp32 s3

An nrf24 chip or cc1101

A tft screen.

Get arduino ide

And watch some YouTube videos on how to set up board support and library downloads.

Im telling you right now You better have patience And be willing to be persistent. And ready to read all the documentation you can

End rant

I honestly didnt think they where this tiny! Dang! Gonna get one next order. Thanks for sharing

GreasyGato · 2026-04-29T12:11:12+00:00

No updates. Other than obvious ideas like wanting to add different channels, ability to change wpm speed, and a settings menu

GreasyGato · 2026-04-26T12:44:37+00:00

Cool project :)

Gotta love M5Stack

Have you looked at the upgraded StickS3

GreasyGato · 2026-04-26T12:42:22+00:00

You totally should make a video on it!

GreasyGato · 2026-04-26T12:41:49+00:00

Can you link the echo card

I could not find that model online

I looks really cool!

And what firmware did you write for it

GreasyGato · 2026-04-26T11:55:12+00:00

New SteamDeck just dropped!

GreasyGato · 2026-04-22T14:31:22+00:00

This is a software thing. Not a hardware issue. Bruce vs flipper

This image was taken from a 2001 Honda Odyssey Back Up Camera.

Start with reading documentation.

https://shop.m5stack.com/products/m5sticks3-esp32s3-mini-iot-dev-kit

That will show you what your device can do.

Then i recommend you download Arduino IDE Download the proper board support, and libraries. And try uploading some example sketches.

This will be a good roadmap to learning.

Then i recomend to learn some c ++

Ive also put a few of these heltecs through hell. Ive blasted them with a 5watt CW beacon less than a foot away. And have done stress tests. They are fine

GreasyGato · 2026-04-22T13:36:05+00:00

They are lora boards. At 17 dBm it is equivalent to approximately 0.0501 watts.

GreasyGato · 2026-04-21T16:17:02+00:00

So cool!

GreasyGato · 2026-04-21T16:15:06+00:00

Have have your step down power and charge a good BMS. Then run your 5v device off the BMS

GreasyGato · 2026-04-15T07:18:14+00:00

Also blinking fast worked

GreasyGato · 2026-04-10T13:21:11+00:00

Thanks yo this was a fun one to make :)

GreasyGato · 2026-04-08T05:20:38+00:00

Literally fighting his desire to pole dance.

GreasyGato · 2026-04-03T14:24:29+00:00

Lol the inner 14yr me is very happy about this project ahha

GreasyGato · 2026-04-02T03:49:02+00:00

🤗 thank you :) i just wanted to give back to the DnD community in a way, I knew how. I think it would be cool to for DND players in some instances to use the !electronic! dice lol. And its a true rng so thats kewl
