IoTouch is an ESP-32 based board with touchscreen capabilities. Its got an external embedded GPU interfaced with a 24 RGB TFT glass capacitive display.  It is specially built for IoT applications due to its Bluetooth and WiFi features. If you need a wireless device that has a good and...

Okay, you’ve probably seen 20 different TS-100 hacks, for example, this, this and this but this improvement by Jan Henrik is on another level. For a soldering iron, the TS-100 seems to work quite well and its popularity, having only debuted 3 years ago, speaks volumes of this. It is...

The beauty of capable computing is that aside from being cheap enough, it should also be good enough.  While we have seen some great WiFi IoT boards like Wemos D1 mini and Lolin32, there has not been anything like the newly launched W600-PICO board from Wemos. The new W600-PICO board,...
