@@kane2742 I did Google it ESP stands for extra sensory perception. Basically this device can read minds. Thanks Make and roidroid will definitely pick one up!
So basically an Arduino style board that runs C, micro python, etc, with an accelerometer, and wifi on-board, and a generic interface at the end so you can plug in "modules" to develop your own wearable IoT devices.
I guess I need to not be doing other things while this plays (so I might have missed the explanation), but I still don't know what this things is. The explanation provided was that it was based on a particular board, but I have no clue what that board does either. Taking 15 seconds to explain the functionality of the device would have been useful. So, your title was basically click-bait since the question is never really answered. ;) Yeah...I'll stay subscribed and keep watching, just pointing out that your viewers are at many different points in their maker-hood journey.
@@clarkgray4109 It's not necessarily different. Just a dev board thats been put in a case, with a strap, and has a bunch of pluggable modules which make it easier to prototype wearable IoT devices. for $15 its not bad at all.
It's a ESP32 on a watch band with a tiny OLED screen. I'm guessing you could develop personal monitoring stuff? An overly complex watch? Masturbation tracker?
That's not bad for 15$. I'd be tempted to take these and wall mount them and integrate them with my home assistant (especially with something as easy as ESPHome )
You pay for the wristband and cables/extensions. The devboard is semi-free. It invites you to develop fun, mobile stuff. Your imagination decides what's it used for.
It's a "dev kit" for the ESP32 chip, which is a very common chip used in electronics projects. Um... it's the "brains" you can integrate into electronic prototypes/projects, especially ones that require wifi. Uh... it's basically a small, low-cost, powerful Arduino with wifi. We can safely expect people here to know what ARDUINO is, right?
Not just a powerful arduino with wifi. For $15 you get the arduino, wifi, 6 axis sensor, Environment sensor (temperature, moisture maybe?) and more. I originally got my first arduino kit for $60 with all kinds of sensors and stuff to play with. I then bought a wifi add on for $10, 6 axis for another $5, moisture sensor on it's own for like $4, etc.. When you link all that stuff together with an aruduino it's a pretty big rats nets of wires or a brick with development boards. Currently I think you can get an Arduino for like $10 Canadian with wifi built into it. So this thing is a compact ready to go starter tool to mess with and learn. Not many pins though, but then I only really use maybe 5 pins from an arduino for basic stuff anyway. Any more than that and I start looking at shift registers. In the video it would have been good to have a simple project set up to demonstrate it. i.e., step counter out of the box? Angle measurement with an output. Show the temperature/pressure reading. Then show a more advanced use like controlling the arm of a robot through wifi, or putting it on a hat with an LED matrix. Then have it side by side with a small arduino doing the same thing to show the compactness of it. LED Make sign from a past video but with this controller instead of the arduino. I'm definitely excited for this one. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Its an Orange Box with a strap. The Orange Box has been injection moulded which is better quality than 3D printing it. If you have one of these strapped to your wrist (or leg) someone will ask "Hey, what is that?" and you can nod reassuringly whilst replying "why, it's an Orange Box with a strap of course"
I'll just add my comment to everyone else's - what is this again? I feel like he kind of expected everyone to automatically recognize what this was for, so he just showed off all the parts.
Yeah... terrible video, I hope you read the comments to find out why. -About as useful a comment as your video, except this had a positive position on SOMETHING.

LOL
ha! you're right!
Cringe
Lol 😂😂😂
Still not sure what this or what it's capable of. More preparation and in depth exploration needed to do this device justice.
He said it's an ESP32 dev kit.
@@roidroid That doesn't mean anything to 99+% of the population without Googling it.

This is a worthless video
It would be nice if some of the jargon were briefly explained/defined. Even just saying what abbreviations like IMU mean would be helpful.

totally agreed
Yeah I have no clue what it actually is. Why is it on a strap??? What makes this special / different???

The ESP32 is an Arduino-compatible micro controller with built-in WiFi.

Had one of these for a while, they are amazing and so simple to use!!!!!
And I still have zero Idea what it is.
There seems to be an amazing amount of people watching this channel who don't understand what a DEV KIT is.

So what is it? lol It's like a thingy that has some thingies with some temperature sensor and maybe you wear it like a watch. ok?

so he read the box content but has no idea what to do with it.
Seen this on tiktok. Still don't understand what is this for
Should be called "How to make a six minute video and explain absolutely nothing"
You may need a new microphone...
It's kind of like watching a radio DJ fill dead air time with ... filler.
Can anyone tell me if you can use this to turn off tvs
Yes🥰
Many (all?) of us don't know what this is. Is this an early April Fools joke?

very cool :-)
Good video but I have to say the music is so loud and annoying I had to switch you off.
This explanation is bad and you should feel bad.

Good
thanks 4 video
3rd?
2nd? lol
i am the first one
