Very nice! The price of new ESP is awesome… taking account that this is preorder and the product is very new. I was waiting the new chip to be more expensive.
All are trying to find the ESP killer… The ESP killer is the ESP, period. The price difference from ESP8266 is very short making the old chip obsolete for small quantities.

I am trying to hold myself…
It is better to stay with the nodeMCUs and waiting for a full board/module (with usb and core components) with esp32.

I’ve bitten as well.

It could of course just be a scam ;-)

i’ve seen a bottle of glue + spray can for the hardener system. they used it on my pvc window framing, 10yrs or so ago
istr spray was really toxic.

any chance of brand or link? aliexpress??

uv laser as the second extruder? although that might defeat the object.

I’ve search on eBay for cheaper one and found some, although maybe the quality isn’t the same in China …

One trick I use with hot glue, is to reheat it with my reflow station hot air gun.

If you set the reflow to its lowest temperature (100 deg C) on mine, you can carefully melt hot glue to either take stuff apart again, or help the glue flow into locations that it didnt get to in the original application.
You can literally blow it around to some extent, and you can also get rid of the whispy stringy end bits.

Also i find it handy to have various colour of hot glue. I have clear and white and have some black on order.

Hi Ray

I got the same email, so I extended the time

Its a little unclear what we will be getting, but I’ve wasted more money on Spark Photons and EWM3165’s, neither of which I’ve used at all.

Just a thought, but is there a breakout board for the ESP32 that can be bought separately

I’ve noticed that the original beta testers had an ESP32 on a breakout, but I can’t see who made that breakout or whether it was available separately

If not, I suspect its probably a good idea to design a breakout now and get it manufactured, in time for when the ESP32’s are actually available

I was thinking that it should include a USB to serial converter and if necessary the program and reset buttons – however I’m not sure if the ESP32 has the same upload system as the ESP8266
