If you've ever wanted to build cool microcontroller-based projects, there's no longer any reason to wait. This $50 kit allows you to create and program your own devices to create almost any device a mad scientist could ever need. From the Website: "Genesis Mini is a modular, Wi-Fi-enabled prototyping system built around a standardized AX22 connector. The ESP32-S3 powered board provides eight AX22 ports that modules plug into directly. [...] This platform eliminates breadboard wiring for common tasks like sensor reading, display control, and motor driving."
There are dozens of transducers that cover all the mad-science bases. The system can be programmed with AI, so all you have to do is tell the system what you want your device to do and it will create the code to do it. Make remote measurements, control a network of your own devices with Wi-Fi, host your own website on a server that fits into the palm of your hand. Bring the world to its knees! Now it's all embarrassingly easy to do.
Please share your ideas for cool gadgets you'd like to create with a system like this.
Enjoy
