The new ESP32 models coming out, especially the RISC-V models, all have security features like Flash encryption and hardware cryptography modules. Unfortunate for those who like to reflash consumer devices.
- sitkack 3y agoThe chips themselves are $1 qty 1. Remove the old chip, put your unlocked chip in its place.

- AussieWog93 3y ago>how much is delivery on that $1? From AliExpress, it'd probably be $2-$3 including shipping. They don't ask questions when ordering large volumes of microcontrollers either.
- sitkack 3y agoMost people aren't going to be tearing down consumer goods and reflashing the firmware. If someone wants to get a hot air station and a bunch of $1 chips and reprogram their own devices, it would cost them less than a hundred dollars, 150 tops. Anyone can learn any skill. If you can draw anything recognizable, you can do electronics.
