Impressive! Congrats!
How did you manage to integrate ESP32's WiFi antenna into that space? Specially in this image [1], it seems the pins of the esp32 is very close to the SD card...Wouldn't it cause interference?<p>[1]: <a href="https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/034/323/339/1a68f2cee050491231c0b382e4ff1c8f_original.png?ixlib=rb-4.0.2&w=680&fit=max&v=1627322521&auto=format&frame=1&lossless=true&s=3db98891e9fdf9faf8c51604b8aa97b6" rel="nofollow">https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/034/323/339/1a68f2cee050491...</a>
Seems similar to the M5Stack (<a href="https://m5stack.com/" rel="nofollow">https://m5stack.com/</a>), which is a good thing, if only to have more competition.
I've already got something just like this, only its better: the m5StickC:<p><a href="https://shop.m5stack.com/products/stick-c" rel="nofollow">https://shop.m5stack.com/products/stick-c</a><p>It is truly dee-lightful to sit and play with this environment, made even more awesome by the depth of the PlatformIO library system.<p>See also, PineWatch, similar ..
Interesting, but the price is a bit too high for what it is IMO. You can get a pinewatch or M5stick for much less. For me the appeal of such boards is that they cost negligible money so you can use them everywhere.<p>I know they're not the same this and have some different specs, but they are in the same class. This is not something I'd buy as easily.<p>However I hope it does well, after all scaling up will bring prices down.
I like it! The name is especially cute.<p>I carry a PQI Air Card in my pocket to use as an SD->WiFi->iPhone adaptor, and this could complement it nicely. I've also carried a CoreWind WiFiG25 for USB host, so I could mount other people's phones using MTP or libimobiledevice. The CoreWind stopped working, so I've been trying to replace it with a VoCore, but I haven't got that to work yet either. Does the Pocuter have USB host ports?<p>Having battery power management circuitry is really wonderful - I'm usually having to use a Third Rail battery and microUSB M - USB F mini adaptor and microUSB M - USB M rotating adaptor to power the pocket computer, and then I can't use the same wire for plugging in other devices. Screen support is also very impressive - and with an ESP32 on board then it should be able to bit-bang VGA out too!
This looks super awesome. I got excited until I saw it was a Kickstarter and not delivering until December. I guess I'll wait until they actually start shipping in case there's something better by then ...<p>If they could ship one in a week I'd totally buy one now.
Maybe nitpicky but why is the ESP32 (dual core @ 240MHz, 300kb+ memory, options with megabytes of flash and memory integrated in package) relegated to coprocessor for a 48MHz microcontroller with 256kb flash and 32kb memory?
