Seems like an ESP can do damn near anything these days. They are like the new arduino. When a 555 would be enough, why not just use a ESP? @stupidbird

>If we’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that the only thing hardware hackers love more than a device festooned with buttons is one that’s covered in LEDs — so it’s no surprise that this “Mr Christmas” jukebox caught the eye of [Roberts Retro]. But while the holiday gadget might have been mildly entertaining in its stock configuration, he quickly realized that what it really needed was an ESP32 retrofit. After all, what good are all those buttons and LEDs if you can’t bend them to your will?

They are quite cool. I need to see if they've fixed the RF spurs.

I use them for a hand full of things around the house. Mostly for stuff I have modified to make it "smart" to talk to my home assistant system.

I tried them for a while but they used to have a giant-ass RF spur at 319.98MHz, which is close enough to 320 that other controllers in my house quit.

I have been lucky enough to not have that problem but maybe I had a different batch or just got ..lucky..
