👋 Hey makers! Found something that'll make you feel like a kid again...
ESP32 Fit Inside an Altoids Tin — And It Runs DOOM! 🎮
SuperRadMaker built a tiny computer using the ESP32-S3, crammed everything into an Altoids tin, added a small screen, a handmade keyboard, and it actually runs DOOM.
The breakdown:
- ESP32-S3 handles WiFi + Bluetooth + processing
- Custom keyboard + tiny display
- Compact Altoids tin form factor
- Runs DOOM = Ultimate maker achievement 😎
What I love about this project is its simplicity. No big budget, just an ESP32 and creative thinking. That's what being a maker is all about.
Got an empty Altoids tin lying around? Time to build!
