The cat's out of the bag! My latest book, "The Secret Life of Circuits", is available in early access:

https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/blog/secret/

It's the reference I wish I had when I was starting out. Electrons to embedded systems, 290+ color illustrations and 420+ pages of well-explained theory.

The Secret Life of Circuits

Many of you follow this blog because of the regular features about electronic circuit design.

I wrote up a guide on how to build a set of walkie talkies with esp-now and Arduino. Case design was inspired by some Barbie-themed toy walkie talkies that a friend of mine had when we were little kids

ESP-NOW Walkie Talkies

Ditch the smart phone and communicate with your buddy by building this set of walkie talkies! A Feather ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT runs Arduino code that uses the ESP-NOW protocol to send and receive I2S audio packets. The w.FL antenna adds extra range to communicate at longer distances indoors or outdoors.

Paul Cutler's blog and homepage

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a working BambuLabs #CircuitPython library, making it easy to query info about your printer. This way people can build UIs on top of the easy to get data.
