Read MoreParagon Project: AI Generative Keyboard
I have been watching this project over the past few weeks and I think it’s time to share it in our Paragon Projects series, mostly because I’m too excited not to share it! It’s a keyboard that learns how you type and then helps write text. Perhaps coolest of all – it helps create prompts…
Read MoreParagon Project: DOOM on an Arduino Nano ESP32
There’s a classic question in the universe of computer games – but can it run Crysis? However, in the world of microcomputer games and microcontrollers, we have a slightly different question – but can it run DOOM? Well we finally have the answer for the Arduino Nano. And the answer is: yes! You can indeed…

Every morning, I find myself scrambling to determine the weather before I get ready. If you’re anything like me, then I’ve found the project to help us both – an E-Paper Weather Display made with an ESP32 microcontroller. Luke Marzen developed this display and then shared it as open-source on GitHub. I should mention that…
Read MoreParagon Project: Microcontroller Computer
Today, we’re covering a project put together by Naveen Kumar over at hackster.io, which is a Linux computer made with microcontrollers: a microcontroller computer! Based on an Arduino Nano ESP32, this little computer is a great little project to get up and running – especially if you’re looking to set it up for home automation…
Read MoreParagon Project: 3D-Printed Portables
We’re very excited to feature these 3D-printed portables as today’s Paragon Project. Omer Hasanov created them and shared them with the internet a few days ago. The first is an ESP-32 handheld gaming console, the second is a Raspberry Pi portable, and the third is a ESP-32 controller that connects to the Raspberry Pi portable…
