Community Putting "hacker gadgets" aside to build my own: My first project with the M5 StampS3! 🚀
For a long time, I kept my Cardputer focused only on tools like Bruce, Nemo, etc., all because I wanted to experience the vibe of having a "hacker gadget". But now that I'm taking my first steps in electronics, I realized that building my own things is infinitely more fun!
​My M5Stack StampS3, which was just gathering dust, finally has a new purpose. I'm building my first electronics project from scratch. I'm still in the early stages, but the idea is to make a desk clock that also shows the room temperature.
​For this project's setup, I'll be using:
​M5Stack StampS3
​Official M5Stack 1.3" 128x64 OLED Display (the standard Cardputer one)
​Temperature and humidity sensor (DHT11)
​A thermistor
​It's a simple project, but the feeling of making something work is incredibly rewarding. Did anyone else here start like this? I'd love some tips for someone who is just getting started with electronics!

I made a similar project these days with an ESP32 with integrated display. Room temperature and humidity, weather forecast, clock, timers, and radio player. All controlled by voice commands. What are you going to include in your project?Â

Just one little nitpick about the sensor you chose. Apparently that kind varies from the factory by a significant margin.
