I’m working on an exciting project - bringing my childhood computer back to life: https://www.crowdsupply.com/cmg-research/esp32-rainbow
Made a nice little reference sister for myself - pretty much every Espressif module: esp32.atomic14.com
ESP Modules: Compare Espressif Wi-Fi / Bluetooth modules
Compare 24 Espressif Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modules across 11 SoCs: specs, pinouts, schematics, interactive 3D models and where to buy.

Nice to see YouTube showing adds that deliberately try and mislead users.
Introducing VectorSearch.js (star it & I'll continue to work on it)! A JS lib that allows you to perform semantic search over millions of vectors in ms, & can visualize embeddings too! Runs #Google's popular #EmbeddingGemma model client side! github.com/jasonmayes/V... #TransformersJS #LiteRT #TFJS
We're going to have to do some surgery on this to turn the volume down!
@atomic14.bsky.social hey Chris, just wanted to say thanks for all your content, and in particular your ESP32-Tv series which served as the basis for my Tinytron project: t0mg.github.io/tinytron/ Cheers !

Pretty impressed this worked. Back when I was doing my PhD simply extracting the numbers from an image reliably would have been a good result.
Been messing around with my latest PCB - I've now got a "digital twin". More details at the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vpd...

Nice - though I’m now regretting not shipping with rubber feet!
Taki@oldtaki.bsky.social · last yr.My ESP-Rainbow created by @atomic14.bsky.social was delivered through @crowdsupply.bsky.social today! I just added some rubber feet, fired Chromium on my Linux laptop and upload Manic Miner 😁 The first impressions are terrific: menu, games loading and keys all worked as they should.
It’s finally happening! Apologies for the delay. International bulk shipping to the US has been a bizarre experience.
Jason Dean@jasuk70.bsky.social · last yr.@atomic14.bsky.social Hi Chris. Just checking that the ESP32 Rainbows are still on track? I've not heard any shipping messages just yet.
Your Crowd Supply order (2xxxx9) has shipped! :) www.crowdsupply.com/atomic14/esp... @atomic14.bsky.social

This is some serious packing - a box within a box within a box. The displays have arrived safely!
Nothing like scratching your own itch. Wanted a nice easy way to convert from ZX Spectrum SCR files to PNGs. There are some nice command line tools for doing it, but here's my web version. www.esp32rainbow.com/tools/scr-to...
Started ordering components for my ESP32 Rainbow - we've got a lot of displays coming in the post! open.substack.com/pub/esp32zx/...
That's a lot of displays!
I've started locking down components - we need to get ready to kick off production!
