Playing like it was summer (but with an ESP32)

Been awhile, head spinning, took some time to just play.

Been doing too much other things that clouded my head. Not bad, but I just wanted something to poke at for me. You know. Just something I wanted to play with. I’m not 9 years old, but I felt like it earlier. I just wanted to play.

So I cracked open something that arrived before the pandemic. It’s another ESP32 variant board, this time the ESP32-OEM-EA from Olimex. It’s basically a POE ESP32 with Wifi/BLE.

I have no idea if I’m going to build something with this, but my son got accepted into the GLEE Moon Mission project and will be building a 5 gram sensor board that goes to the moon. So what the hell? I may need to brush off the dust on some of these tools and skills to help him, so let’s play with the toys that make me forget what time it is and take me back to why I wanted to do this career in the first place.

That’s it. Nothing to speak of. Made a clean build vagrant. Installed tools. Hello world running.

For a little while, it was like summertime as a kid again. Maybe tomorrow I’ll make it actually do something.

In the meantime, it’s just a hello summer (er, hello world). And who knows, maybe all my spirals will bring me back to this for my project on the pool and weather station. Back to the future, again.
