Super cool! I’ve been eyeballing the m5 stick for a while (I collect a lot of microcontrollers with high hopes and mediocre follow through) and have resisted so far. I think this is gonna push me over the edge…
I am happy to meet few microcontrollers enthusiasts here. I am also a big fan of M5 stacks, esp32 for various use cases. I must say a big thank you to Ben Arc. I love all of his work. His work inspired me and redirected me to experiment with microcontrollers for bitcoin.

I really need to check out the esp32. I have a couple of reactive lighting projects using esp8266 and the extra horsepower and BLE in the 32 looks sick. Love love love seeing cool bitcoin embedded projects 😄
reply
Yeah, the horsepower of esp8266 is next to nothing. I love to see your lightning projects using esp8266. Please share if you can. But esp32 is a bit promising compared with esp8266. I wanted to check if esp32 can create a mesh lightning network with microchannels using neutrino. It is definitely possible with raspberry pi Pico

That sounds dope

Heh, exactly. I've had a couple of these for a while, and when I saw the matching model I finally pulled the trigger and managed to burn, erase, burn, save, download, erase, burn until I got it to work.
I'd like to make a couple of changes, like the background reflecting the usual green/red signalling, but there's a bit to learn before I can confidently do more than stare in awe at this little box with its wi-fi and capability.
reply
Color signaling is a great idea. If you come across any free API which provides price changes, please share.
