This is a walkie talkie project relying on the ESP32-WROOM with antennas to hopefully make a mid-range walkie talkie
Hello!
This is a really interesting project! I really like the idea. However, you are missing the lapse code of you making the firmware for the project. Please attach this to the project!
Once this change is made, we will take another look!
Hello!
Great work on this project! However, make sure that you are using the right file structure when submitting: https://stardance.hackclub.com/resources/shipping-hardware
DONE WITH THE RENDERS AND CASE RAHHHHHH
ready to ship :D
Collected 3D models, oriented them, and properly placed them. And my review go rejected yet again cuz I need to make a case. So that’s next
looking very good! before i approve, a lot of your aliexpress items are weirdly expensive. if you look a little more, you can save a bunch of money and get more reputable products. additionally, i highly recommend designing a case! it will be much more polished. thanks!
Done wiring the pcb yay
I wanted to mount the battery on the opposite side of the step up modules and the TP4096s, but I thought that the mounting holes might be a bit problematic. So I just moved them to the side
My last review got rejected because there were no PCBs, which I thought would’ve been ok since I’m gonna be making this project on a veroboard but oh well
anyway, FINDING THE FOOTPRINTS WERE PURE HELL BRO ONG 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢. But yeah I did find them eventually and I even had to make the footprint for the INMP441 mic myself cuz I couldn’t find it
and some basic troubleshooting
so yeah, next step is to wire it
You need to complete the PCB design in order to receive funding. Please add the gerbers.zip file to your repository in a production folder. Also, I would highly advise CADing a case for your project before shipping it. A case makes everything look polished and legit. Finally, please add your BOM to your README in dropdown format. Your project looks super cool! Reship it when you're done, I may try it for myself after it's finished!
Hiya, offgrid wireless communication is an awesome idea!! Please don't use AI in your readme though. Write it yourself, we have an awesome guide on this: https://stardance.hackclub.com/resources/great_readme
In your bill of materials, please provide purchase links for all of your components, and try to reduce costs.
Once you do these two things, we'll be happy to take a look at your project again!
Finished the prototype version of the code and made a example video (didn’t count towards my time ofc)
Worked on the code a bit and made the BOM
also, the I2S part of my code is heavily based on pre-existing snippets as it’s my first time using i2s rather than i2c
Made the schematic
I added dual power supplies since all of my old projects consisting of a sinlge power supply and power amplifiers kept resulting the ESP32 to brownout.
all of this will be made on a perfboard
ookkay So I started off wanting to create a schematic for the project, I won’t be making a PCB tho, the shipping is mad expensive, so i’ll just use a perfboard
I started by finding the basic symbols required for the project. Initially I wanted to make a PCB asw, but finding the footprint for these modules were pretty much impossible. And ofc, the shipping prices to get them manufactured. So I kinda wasted a lotta time and opted in to just make a Schematic and make it on a perfboard later
Also I created a simple symbol for the MAX98357A module
these are the current parts im gonna be using
VVVVV
