ESP32-S3 AIoT Basic – A learning and prototyping kit with camera, audio, LCD, and sensors

The ESP32-S3 AIoT Basic is a low-cost, learning, and prototyping kit for the ESP32-S3. The board integrates common AIoT peripherals directly onto a single PCB, making the design part easy for beginners, classrooms, and rapid prototyping. Built around an ESP32-S3 board, the development platform integrates nine commonly used modules directly on the PCB, including a button, buzzer, LED indicator, light sensor, LCD, digital microphone, SD card slot, audio amplifier, and a camera. Most AI and IoT demos can be run without breadboards or jumper wires, while expansion is supported through standard pin headers and Grove connectors. The board supports 5V power via USB-C, and 6–12 V power input via Vin for driving additional devices. With various tutorials and sample projects, it is suitable for AIoT learning, STEM education, voice and vision demos, sensor-based projects, and quick proof-of-concept development.

Amazing Hand – A 8-DOF 3D-printable open-source robotic hand for prototyping and research
Seeed Studio's Amazing Hand is an open-source, 3D-printable robotic hand kit with eight degrees of freedom (8-DOF), designed for developers working on robotics control and hardware experimentation. It integrates all actuators directly in the hand itself, making it suitable for robotics projects, education, prototyping, and integration into systems like Reachy2 or custom robotic arms. The hand uses eight Feetech SCS0009 servos arranged in a parallel linkage, with all actuators housed in the palm to keep the unit compact and lightweight at around 400 grams. Each finger offers two-axis motion for flexion, extension, and limited abduction via differential servo control. Its structure is fully 3D-printable, combining rigid internal frames with flexible TPU shells for robotics prototyping, manipulation research, and custom hand design studies. Amazing Hand specifications Supported Controllers – Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, and microcontrollers (MCUs) Degrees of Freedom – 8 Servo 8x Feetech SCS0009 bus servos (2 servos per finger
Advantech SOM-6820 COM Express module is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Arm SoC
Advantech SOM-6820 is a COM Express Type 6 Compact Computer-on-Module powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite SoC with up to twelve 64-bit Arm Oryon cores, instead of an x86 processor from Intel or AMD, more commonly found on COM Express modules. The COM also features up to 64GB LPDDR5 memory, two MIPI CSI camera connectors, an RTL8153B USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet controller, and a TPM 2.0 security chip. All I/Os are exposed through two standard 220-pin B2B connectors, including DisplayPort and LVDS/eDP interfaces for up to four 4K displays, up to four SATA III for storage, twelve USB 3.0/2.0 interfaces, multiple PCIe Gen4/3 interfaces, and more. With up to 45 TOPS of AI performance, the SOM-6820 is especially well-suited to medical imaging and machine vision applications as well as mission-critical systems and humanoid robots. Advancec SOM-6820 specifications: Snapdragon X Elite SoC variants (one or the other) X1E-00-1DE 12-core up

These features make it suitable for robotics, smart retail systems, industrial control panels, and other high-performance edge AI systems. Quectel QSM560DR specifications: SoC – Qualcomm QCS6490(WF variant) / QCM6490 (CN variant) CPU – Octa-core Kryo 670 with 1x Gold Plus core (Cortex-A78) @ 2.7 GHz, 3x Gold cores (Cortex-A78) @ 2.4 GHz, 4x Silver cores (Cortex-A55) @ up to 1.9 GHz GPU – Adreno 643L GPU @ 812 MHz with support for Open GL ES
Given that I want to target i486 with @OS1337 but don't want to deal with obsolete hardware that is dying of old age, I think it's more fitting to consider a sort-of mainboard to shove some 486SX-SOM with PC/104-Plus on and have the few necessities hooked up to it. Maybe even put it inside a THINN #Pizzabox-style #case?
It would also make a new "bridge" machine to interface old PCI & ISA hardware and allow connecting i.e. a #QuadFlop and roll with that...
