Alex Kretzschmar writes about building a live aircraft radar using an ESP32-C3 and a 1.28-inch round display to track ADS-B traffic by plotting distance and bearing. He improved the original firmware to include flight context such as origin/destination, descriptive aircraft types, local weather data, and adjustable text sizes via a web interface.
- Firmware supports authenticated OTA updates for wireless installation
- The Makerworld 3D models had tolerances too tight for the author's boards
- A web interface allows modifying coordinates and display settings without resetting Wi-Fi configuration

An overview of ESPConnect, a free self-hosted web utility used to manage and flash ESP32 microcontrollers. The tool provides detailed hardware profiling for various MCU models, allows for advanced partition management, and enables flashing firmware or creating system backups through filesystem access. It also includes essential debugging features like an NVS Inspector and a Serial Monitor.
- Detailed hardware profile generation (MAC address, memory, clock speeds)
- Partition layout modification and flash backup capabilities
- File system support including SPIFFS, LittleFS, and FATFS
- Debugging via UART logs and session history tracking
- Easy deployment on Proxmox using LXC scripts

Program embedded devices with natural language. No firmware updates required. ScriptO Studio is a next-generation Integrated Development and Execution Environment (IDEE) for embedded devices running MicroPython.
A demo for turning an ESP32-S3 microcontroller into a tiny, instant-on PC with a shell, editor, compiler, and app installer.
SparkMiner is optimized firmware for the ESP32-2432S028 "Cheap Yellow Display" (CYD) board, delivering ~700 KH/s using hardware-accelerated SHA-256 and a pipelined assembly mining loop.
ESPConnect is a web-based tool for flashing, inspecting, and managing the filesystem of ESP32 boards, offering a simplified alternative to traditional IDEs.
A web-based flasher for various devices, including M5Stack, LilyGO, CYD, and custom boards. It provides instructions for entering download mode and selecting firmware for flashing.
Something similar to the Spotify Car Thing, built with a cheap ESP32 Screen. Connects to your Spotify account and displays your currently playing song with its album art.
AI-On-The-Edge-Cam is an ESP32-S3 board with a 2MP camera, microSD card, WiFi, BLE, and PoE Ethernet connectivity designed to digitize legacy utility meters such as water meters, gas meters, or electricity meters that require manual onsite reading. It supports Tensorflow Lite, has a web interface, and integrates with Home Assistant.
Building a community around a cheap ESP32 Display with a touch screen. This display is an ESP32 with a built in 320 x 240 2.8" LCD display with a touch screen called the "ESP32-2432S028R".
