SPECIFICATION

Explore the Open Hardware and Software

Make hardware research, understand the schematic, and improve it. Use as a platform for fast prototyping.

Rapid prototyping 

With ESPboy you have everything you need to quickly prototype your idea

100% Arduino IDE and Arduino libraries compatible, display for the UI, buttons to control, speaker and RGB led for alarming and indication, WiFi for communication, battery for standalone operation, extension port for connecting external sensors or servos, compact size for portable use

Code Arduino IDE, VS code/PlatformIO, MicroPython,  LUA, Basic, Scratch

Learn to code. You don’t need to make low-level code, just take the right library from the huge Arduino community. Check all the ESPboy open-source Arduino software.  Write your own applications easily in standard IDEs using a wide range of compatible libraries.

Visual programming & firmware constructors

If you are new in coding, but full of ideas, try to draw your first program or use an online program constructor just selecting options or moving blocks: ardublock.ru, scratch.mit.edu, visuino, fl-prog, wifi-iot, mysensors.org

Chiptune music compose

Use EBT tracker to compuse your own chiptune music

Try online AppStore and WebAppStore

Update the firmware in a minute, using WiFi and selecting the App from the list right on the ESPboy. No programming, buggy libraries, compilation, fighting the bugs, and wires. 

With the WebAppStore, you can upload apps to your ESPboy using the Chrome browser.

Indie neo-retro games rapid development 

Make your first game in a few hours using online web MicoJS IDE or Little Game Engine IDE with the help of community, Mico JS documentation/ LGE documentation, and samples.

Play retro old games youth of your parents, touch the most famous platforms of the past, learn how emulation works ZX-spectrum and GameBoy.

Explore the world of Arduboy, Pokitto,  Gamebuino META, CHIP8/SCHIP: platforms, community, and games. 

Use extension connector & gadget modules

All useful interfaces on the expansion connector: I2C, SPI, I2S, UART, ADC, few MCU GPIOs and additional GPIOs of the MCP23017 GPIO expander. 

Connect and control anything you want. The ideal prototyping mobile platform to test and improve your digital ideas.

Turn your ESPboy to the fully functional gadget in a minute with a standard expansion module or make your unique. MP3 player, GSM phone, FM radio, GPS navigator, LORA messenger, DAC AY38910 player, radiation meter, weather station. Play with it, understand the hardware, software, protocols, interfaces, create another one. 

Do pen-testing and offensive security

Research the protocols and make penetration tests of communication networks and security systems. WiFi attacks,  storing your office cards RFID/NFC with it's reading and emulation, storing iButton keys, remote control of the 433Mhz barriers, and garage doors, use as a universal IR remote control all of your devices, use as U2F security token and play with BAD-USB payloads.

Learn Internet of things, online services & mobile phone integration. Make your home smart

Learn the world of IoT. Connect the home automation sensors and actuators. Control them all or make the ESPboy one of them.  Using WiFi onboard, get the data from the net, provide remote wireless control and monitoring of your home, send telemetry data to the online databases and services like www.thingspeak.com, www.cloudmqtt.com, cloud.google.com, www.hivemq.com

Take control of your ESPboy and other devices, connected to it with your smartphone. We are supporting blynk.io and RemoteXY.com

Connectivity

There is WiFi onboard. But connecting the attacheble modules to expansion connector, you can use any trasiever: HC-11 for UART 433Mhz (excellent to control your robot or rover), CC1101 for 315/433/868Mhz (for controlling garage doors and barriers), NRF24le01 for 2.4Ghz, HC-06 for bluetooth, LORA modules and so on. The great thing that there are a huge quantity to open-source libraries for Arduino IDE so you can compile the included example and test the module just after the connection. No need to learn datasheet and then do low-level programming. 

EBT is a tiny, minimalistic, yet quite powerful chiptune-like music editor with a tracker interface, originally developed for the ESPboy portable DIY handheld platform. 

The source code is portable, so it may be available on other platforms as well. Currently it features an SDL port, so it can run on a regular desktop PC as well, sharing the same data format, so the song and instrument files are easily transferable between the devices.
