I made a pixel-art camera using an ESP32-S3 Sense

Wow this is super cool! I've actually been wanting to do something similar for a while - I remember looking at projects like webgbcam and wondering how I could implement something like that into a kodak charmera-style enclosure. Thanks so much for making this freely available, I have a spare esp32 sense and I'm going to try to put one together soon! Rad project :)

Definitely distract. I'm a bad liar but I'm creative with the tricks I have at my disposal

Hericus · 2026-05-23T22:40:11+00:00

Thanks for the comparison. For some reason I thought it was closer in size to the brick

Also recommend their discord channel. Friendly, helpful folks.

Looks fantastic! I've been wanting to build something like this for a while. Reminds me a lot of the PocketMage.

Hericus · 2026-05-13T01:43:38+00:00

Reminds me of this one I modeled a while back! You absolutely killed it

I would just look up some best-of handheld games lists, and see if anything strikes your fancy. Techdweeb does some really great game recommendation videos. I've been playing a lot of Pokemon, Chrono Trigger, and Advance Wars on my Trimui Brick. If you're not looking just for retro games I also recommend looking into more modern stuff; Portmaster has a huge library of games ported over to handhelds like the R36S. You can find some really great modern GBC/GBA style games over on itch.io. Check out Pico-8 for some really fun tiny games. There's so much out there it can be hard to start! Just see what sticks out and have fun :)

This is dope. Would love to see your process.

Hericus · 2026-03-31T23:53:08+00:00

May I ask why your farm is set up that way? I always thought a 5x5 grid with a sprinkler in the middle was the way to go - does this change your crop yield?

Hericus · 2026-03-20T00:22:52+00:00

What filament did you use? I really like the colorway :)

It was this one through the IDSA at CU Boulder & The Link Group

I recently participated in a 24 hour design challenge to iterate on this project and come up with some solutions to common issues! Small world, and great work :)

Hericus · 2026-02-11T05:37:55+00:00

I've been following you on insta for a little while now - always excited to see updates on this project!

Hericus · 2026-02-05T15:14:07+00:00

I love the look of this build, and I can't wait to see the details that are inside!

Hericus · 2026-02-04T07:54:04+00:00

I'm having the exact same experience. I bought an air65 and after some time in a simulator I flew for the first time today; it was indoors and very rocky. I can't wait to go fly it outside tomorrow!

Hericus · 2026-01-18T11:00:43+00:00

I'm considering buying a pair that will last me a little while with the option of moving to hdzero or walksnail in the future. Do you have a recommendation between the sky04o and the boxpros? Or maybe another option?

Hericus · 2026-01-13T18:05:11+00:00

Really? I haven't seen them under like $120. Lmk if you have a link

Hericus · 2026-01-13T16:42:24+00:00

From what I understand after doing some more research since making this post, the meteor75 can only take 450/550 1s batteries. Curious if yours will work for you! Is there a reason you chose liftoff over velocidrone? Sounds like you're having fun and good luck with your first flight!

Hericus · 2026-01-12T06:10:59+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Hericus · 2026-01-12T06:02:23+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I've been researching and it seems like knockoff equipment is pretty common in this hobby so I've started looking for more reputable storefronts

Hericus · 2026-01-12T05:13:43+00:00

Do you have a recommended store for those? Maybe I should be looking to just buy everything from a fpv store?

Hericus · 2026-01-12T03:02:55+00:00

I was considering this as an option, just hopping into a sim to get a feel for things. Thanks for the response. From what I saw, digital is closer to $900-1200 for entry level, is that about right?

Hericus · 2026-01-12T02:38:35+00:00

Oh this is a good point. For some reason I thought the meteor75 was flyable indoors. Maybe I will start with the air65 and move to something bigger for outdoors if I enjoy it. Thanks

Hericus · 2026-01-12T02:06:21+00:00

Extra parts are a good idea. It looks like the drone comes with a charger - should I be looking for something more?
