It’s a bit sad how deserted this community is, would love to connect more with other makers.

Let’s rattle the cage a bit, who of you is here, and what are you working on?

I’ll start: A wireless cryptographic keystore & signer. Keys are generated with the hardware RNG and stored AES-encrypted with the user’s password, and you can request signatures via BLE.

    I’m working on a weather station with a tiny oled display. In the end I spent all my time implementing a small windowing system and plotting lib.

    Nice question. I have a complete shelf of unfinished ESP32 projects. I’m dabbling with ESPhome and audio stuff every now and then. I was trying to get the voice assistant running but there are so many different issues… I’ve settled for a webradio for now. That works - though - it’s more a ball of loose wires, I’d need to fix my 3D printer to print some casing. And decide what amount of features is enough for a webradio/voice assistant. Something I finished during the last few weeks is some christmas lighting for the front yard. I bought 40m of fairy lights, wrapped it around a smaller tree, soldered a controller and had that running for Halloween. I’m going to need to find a more permanent solution to get some electricity out there, maybe next week. And then it’s supposed to run each night during the season. And a few weeks before that I built an artificial fireplace for the livingroom. That’s two 8x32 LED matrices with a beefy 5V power supply and WLED on the ESP.
