ESP32 Bit Pirate turns an ESP32-S3 into a scriptable multi-protocol workbench with more than twenty modes, a web and serial CLI, and dump and sniff tooling. This article walks through the firmware and the two open-hardware companions that extend it: a carrier dock with selectable 1.8 V, 3.3 V and 5 V level translation, and an ESP32-C5 adapter that adds a dual-band radio.
esp32pin.com is a free interactive pinout reference for the ESP32 family. Every pin carries its real-world constraints, the data is generated from Espressif’s official KiCad libraries and cross-validated against the esp-gpio-tool dataset, and new dev boards can be proposed right in the browser.
Inkplate is a family of all-in-one, open-source e-paper development boards built around the ESP32. This article introduces the Inkplate lineup, covers the hardware, the Arduino and MicroPython libraries, and the kinds of projects you can build, explaining why ESP32 makes e-paper development accessible for everyone.
