🏙️ 🏅 🎒 Part 3: Continuing to cut the ESPboy2 multi-gadget for retro games and experiments with IoT in 2021 🙏🏽 🧕🏻 ⭐️

More than a year has passed since the last articles on Habré about the ESPboy project.

Let me briefly remind you that this is a multi-gadget for IT enthusiasts, arduino players, retro game lovers, pentesters.

The openness of the platform, 100% compatibility with the Arduino IDE, WiFi on board, autonomy of several hours, additional modules and the AppStore make the device ideal for training, prototyping and IoT experiments.

The circuits and code are open and in the simplest form the device can be assembled in half an hour from several parts from AliExpress for $ 8. You can also buy a ready-made device on tindie.com , but this option is still expensive. On the youtube channel of the project, some features are demonstrated, on the hackaday - the development log.

ESPboy2 is still available only for developers, but who are interested, leave an email in the form of a pre-order . As soon as it is launched for ordering, buying or assembling - we will write.

I saw the project as a hobby, from time to time acquaintances and enthusiasts help.

It is based on the old ESP8266 chip with WiFi connected to it with a 128x128 color screen, buttons, a speaker, an RGB LED and a couple of other convenient additions.

I get scolded all the time why not ESP32. I repeat that this ESP32 is too cool, which, on the one hand, adds opportunities, and on the other, completely kills the creative component on the topic of savvy overcoming the limitations of iron.
