- sephalon 1y agoNice one! Using an ESP32 is a much more economical choice these days, but well, I really wanted to write a Linux kernel driver ;-)
- jtwaleson 1y agoUnderstandable ;) In any case,the hardware is a fraction of the costs if you count the hours... Would be interested to see a bit of your hardware setup!
