socquique writes of Capsule Radar, a live ADS-B aircraft radar designed for the Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED series (1.75 and 1.43 inch round displays). The software pulls real-time flight data via WiFi to plot nearby aircraft on various visual themes like Phosphor or Orb, offering touch interaction for detailed flight information such as routes and altitude.

mediacutlet writes about pocket-tank, a project featuring a 14-million-parameter LLM that manages a virtual aquarium on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller. Distilled from a much larger 26-billion-parameter teacher model into a compact 7.56 MB file, the "brain" operates entirely offline without any network connection. The system uses a three-layer architecture consisting of a physics/reflex layer, an LLM advisor for decision-making (such as feeding or socializing), and a progression layer to manage long-term growth and life events like fish births and aging.
- The model is distilled from gemma4:26b into the smaller student version.
- Decisions made by the LLM are implemented via a reflex layer running at 25–30 frames per second.
- It supports an "installer" that allows users to flash firmware directly through a web browser using Web Serial.
- The project includes a PC simulator and support for QEMU emulation of the ESP32 hardware.
