Its great to hold! Very chunky in the hand. Functionality wise I only gave it the on/off, volume and input selection from the media devices, and then it talks to another esp32 base unit that controls some lighting over WiFi, but as far as actually driving the media controls I shamefully just use the Google Chromecast controls, I'm not savvy enough to set up a FOSS alternative yet

Thanks! Fraid not, it came together pretty ad hoc as I was building it.

Essentially the process was breadboarding the major components to get them talking and sort out the software, then built the main board to hold everything in position, then built the box to fit around it all

Yeah the battery management board is a bit flaky so keeping it charged is a pain! Yeah it's just doing IR for the various living room devices, sound system, TV etc so I didn't have to keep tabs on 4 different remotes

The inside - I hope y'all like cable management!

Maybe my little DIY walnut cased ESP32 universal remote

How would you rate your jumper wire neatness compared with his?

Visited some relatives in Texas last year for Thanksgiving and we made Yorkshires to contribute - all the Americans present went wild for them, A+, but then 3 different people independently asked if you could make sweet ones... Head in hands

Henderson's Relish - it's similar to Worcestershire but hyper local to Sheffield (and it's vegan cos no anchovies) and we're all weirdly proud of it

Had a little breakdown, quit a job I hated, started a business, got married. It's been a wild ride
