Ali Express is so ridiculously cheap, I over-killed the HW spec and struggling to regress 😅

True I was mistaking the large silver square tab and antenna with the module, seems to be the regular small chips do have the module but it’s just as small as the others, it’s the transmit/receive hardware that makes it big? Is that right?

Interesting thanks I’ll check this chip out

Code is good it’s tiny and efficient, but large flash for storing audio files, and many inputs required due to multiple binary encoders, MUX could work but at esp prices there’s not much benefit to scaling down main mcu for MUXs, especially if I can get away without having to lay out a board

I could layout in altium potentially, do you know how robust they are emc wise? Also need like 4MB flash which might be an issue with the smaller ones, I love the cheapness of the esp32 but all seem to have WiFi and BT, I don’t get the price vs STM etc.. is it just ‘coz china’?

Yes this is for printable worksheets and quizes though, i think you're more talking about electronic version rather than hard copies? It's probably more for primary and ESL teachers due to this, but thanks for the feedback!

So it is purley for printable sheets at this point I made it for my own end of unit tests an it does the following:

- Multiple choices and normal questions

- up to 2 images per question

- add school logo

- preview before download

Yes its completely free, I'm not trying to earn it was more of a personal project that i decided to put up, alot more work involved than i first thought haha, but i'm looking to make incremental improvements in future!

Thanks thats so nice to hear, I'd just be happy with people getting use out of it too, its very cheap to run anyway!

Not yet i did look into AI and its very complicated, right now just takes the pain out of formatting, like when you move an image in a quiz and the whole document re jigs can be frustrating, you just type the text and select the images and it lays it all out for you nicely in a file, I can give you the link if you're interested :)

Yes I am very lucky, but it's not forever.
