I haven't benchmarked Bluetooth on these devices but have you looked at your uncompressed audio rates over WiFi? OP was asking about Bluetooth at high quality and low latency, which I don't think is a possible combo, hence suggest

Low latency in Bluetooth audio comes down to codecs and the best are proprietary. If you want to really cut down latency and need wireless with hardware like this, you could use a second ESP32 and send your own bitstream between them.

The specs look great, will see how long it takes to get these as WROOM modules or on little dev boards; my two form factors of choice for Espressif devices. I'm also curious about the pricing, so far they've impressed me with how

Nordic Semi, or maybe ST Micro. I've got an STM32WB on my bench at the moment with sensitive coulomb counting and it looks very promising but without all those radios. Of course with all those radios (ie, if you need LoRa on a watch...

I like a good smart watch and I appreciate open source, but an ESP32 isn't a great pick when low power consumption is important and the device is going to be communicating regularly. I'm surprised LILYGO went that direction in a w

My recollection is that a rocket design was scaled up from one that worked, by people who didn't consider how an o-ring should be loaded in order to function properly. They inadvertently changed the design rather than simply scale it.

That's an eye catching stat. What is the impact of starlink satellites on the number, ie what if you drop them from both numerator and denominator?

I haven't kept up with Artemis development but I've read extensively about Challenger and Columbia. These two parts of the article stood out to me: > Moon-to-Mars Deputy Administrator Amit Kshatriya said: “it was very small loc

What software made the bitmap? Seems like a step earlier in the pipeline could help generate a BOM more easily.

It doesn't say Toyota anywhere on the page and they don't have a link to a repo or anything like that, so I was a little confused. But it is from /that/ Toyota (well, a subsidiary that is making 3d software for their dis

I'm curious about these long running but non commercial podcasts. Can you share a few (or all)?

Thanks for pointing it out. I actually use a plugin which rewrites search queries for custom "bangs" which I switched to after waiting for others to be fixed. I didn't realize that the same exists built in.

A surprising fact I /do/ know about DDG: they don't update bang searches anymore, which was one of my favorite differentiators. This feature adds a lot of utility to DDG as a browser default search engine. You can search &quo

There are also Tuya zigbee devices and people have hacked local control of Tuya wifi bulbs to varying degrees. My best stuff is IKEA: their battery powered devices use AAA so I can throw in rechargeable cells and there isn't a ton of w

Most of my current-gen IKEA switches will pop out from their steel cradles with normal button presses, because of the curved back of the switch and the curved cradle it connects to magnetically. They've thrown in die-cut double sided a

You've gotta count the cost of your time as negative for that to be true. The author built multiple ovens from scratch here, and every cooked meal could be done sooner if the temperature were higher.

I think some simple MPPT circuitry would be a smart investment for this, rather than a fixed resistance connected directly to a solar panel.

I haven't heard about surprise-your-files-are-deleted bugs in core programs of other systems. That's a bigger show-stopper in my opinion. To compare Apples to apples, you'd have to look at a Framework computer and agree that

I watched a video of the speed test a few days ago and it looked like the BYD car was still accelerating when the top speed was reached, such that it could have gone faster than the record they were aiming for—there was a speed curve and it

When you need static pressure, use a centrifugal blower. I've got one on top of a HEPA shop vac filter from harbor freight, some hot glue seals it up nicely to a thin plastic sheet I cut as a size adaptor.

That's a very good point to keep in mind. I've seen that go wrong! There are lots of connectors out there where the pins never short. The tricky thing is finding ones that can be plugged and unplugged often, while still being smal
