Hi.
Thanks for your feedback.
We have to try both boards.

Hi.
Thanks for your comment.
Take a look at this project for a Web Serial Monitor: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-webserial-library/
Have a great New Year.

Hello, looks like we have similar background, I have also worked with computers whole my life, but now retired, and my 70th birthday Will be 2025.
I have been using Esp32 about 5 years now, trying To build sailboat automation project. I have only small RC dragonforce sailboat, my Dream for own real sailboat Will never Come True!

Now when I have OTA update without USB cable, I would like also have “WiFi serial monitor”, debug information wireless To my browser. This is my suggestion for RNT next year.
Happy New year!

Hi.
Wow.
Thank you so much for your detailed opinion about our suggestions for future topics.
We’ll definitely try to take a look at your suggestions. We also have a JEtson Nano, but one of the first ones. We bought it some years ago, but we quickly lost interest in it at the time. Maybe it’s time to get back to it.
Sailboat Automation seems an awesome hobby and Thailand is an incredible country.

Hi.
Thank you for your feedback.
That’s a very interesting project.
That probably would involve training your own algorithm to identify your dog. It is possible to do that with mediapipe, but we haven’t tried that feature yet: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/install-mediapipe-raspberry-pi/

Happy new year from Thailand! I’ve bought almost all your e-books and have had considerable fun during the past year. The volume of work just keeping all of them up to date seems staggering.

Here’s what I enjoyed the most from the past year:
BME-ESP to LAMP
Async web servers/Async programming.
LVGL
ESP-Cam

My primary platforms are Raspberry Pi (of which I have 30) and ESP32 (of which I have 25 and growing). I probably have the most BME280 sensors in all of Rayong.

Unless the STM32 series can do something earth shattering and new, please spend your creative time on something else.

ESP32 C3: interested – with emphasis on Matter, Threads, etc.

Home Assistant: definitely

Building robots: unless it can get a beer out of the fridge, open it and deliver it to me
with an ice cold glass, not interested. But seriously, I’ve got all these unsorted screws and nuts around. I’m sure they’d be more valuable to me if they were sorted…

CYD-like boards: sounds duplicative

My suggestions for projects:
‘Thing VNC’ – Take a ‘thing’ like a Navtex or radar display (which typically have an SSD1305 or 1306 display chip) which wasn’t designed to be ‘remoted’ and be able to see the screen and emulate the keypad remotely.

Doing more with less power – those DOIT DevKit development boards consume too much power! Challenge: A BME280 (or BNO055) connected to WiFi (but maybe not all the time) that consumes less than 50 microAmps and lasts 3 months on a 3 hour charge.

Expand the BME ESP/LAMP server tutorial to include sending selected rows of a database to OpenAI or Gemini for further analysis.

OpenCV tutorial – How to run Eigenfaces without atom-smashing compute power

Combine multiple security cam feeds from different vendors over multiple protocols:
RTMP, HLS, RTSP, H.264, H.265, WebRTC

My 70th birthday present (coming soon): Jetson Orin Nano Super – you should get one too!

-get it to learn something it didn’t know before (have it ingest all my old VAX hardware manuals)
-get it to listen
-get it to speak
-get it to translate (necessary because my Thai is not good yet!)
-phone ‘secretary’ – lines up calls
-‘reverse on-hold agent’ – call an airline, wait on hold until a customer service rep answers, explains why I’m calling, then notifies me I need to be on the conversation.
-give it sight (I liked the license plate reader tutorial)
-give it face recognition (hence the need for the OpenCV tutorial)
-give it smell (well, at least hazardous gas detection/analysis)
-give it taste (well, maybe a Mass Spectrometer…)

These are just some ideas as I recover from Christmas and brace for the New Year!

Thanks for listening!

Happy New Year to both of you!

Best regards,
-a.c.

Briefly about me: Got interested in electronics at an early age. Got a ham license at 11. Got an FCC ‘First Phone’ commercial radio license at 15. Learned Basic/Fortran/APL in high school. Graduated with an EE degree. Went to work for DEC, Compaq, HP. Contracted at Apple and Microsoft. Coincident with the recent election, my wife and I moved to Thailand, where I have set up my small but incredibly well instrumented lab. I’m also an avid sailor, having crossed the Atlantic from Canada to Ireland, numerous Caribbean sailings and navigating the Beagle Channel. Home and Sailboat automation consumes a lot of my time! Also looking forward to exploring the waters of the Gulf of Thailand!

As to projects I’m interested in developing facial recognition for — dogs. I have a doggy door and feeders and it would be extremely useful to monitor/control which dog uses the door and eats all the food. I have seven dogs ranging in size from a great Pyrenees to a Chihuahua/Terrier mix.

Hi.
Thanks for your suggestion.
We have something similar, but also very limited with a Raspberry Pi that detects basic gestures: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/install-mediapipe-raspberry-pi/
Let’s see if there are better tools to handle this in the new year. Something external to the microcontroller, otherwise, those AI things need a lot of processing that small microcontrollers like the ESP32 can’t handle.

Regards,
Have a great new year.
