ESP32-CAM poor quality — I managed to compile some ESP-IDF examples for ESP32-CAM, and the image quality is atrocious. I was hoping to make a simple 'security camera', but the image is so low resolution and low quality that I doubt any faces would be recognizable. The example web server allows a lot of tweaks for the camera, but increasing the resolution and JPEG quality does not seem to improve the image - it seems to be 1990 quality image, you can actually count the pixels! I am using the...

Arduino Sucks — I can't believe how bad Arduino is! Every year it gets worse. I distinctly remember doing something with it last year, noting that it is terrible, and struggling with ESP-IDF, because it was worth it. A year later, it is virtually unusable. I installed the package with apt-get, but it is ancient and does not seem to support my AI-THINKER board. The up-to-date app-image does not work with modern Ubuntu (24.04).

Preview of a Gemini browser for ESP32 😊 — I started working on a little ESP32 based Gemini browser in Micropython! Check out the link for a video of the progress so far. It can make simple Gemini requests over TLS, and render the contents to a 2.8in TFT screen with some basic typography. Might add an ASCII-art-to-Bitmap proxy into the mix; so I can render ASCII art properly to the screen, but offloading the computation from the ESP32 to some outside service. Pretty cool, for parts you are...
