#esp32cam
3d printed case, assembly and flashing to #esphome completed. Do you like colours of the case?

It's surprisingly stable, no hangups in several days.

@po3mah Outdoor camera?

po3mah, 14 days ago

@mihamarkic Yes, the holes on top are for the rain to come in to cool the board :)

@po3mah That's lame. Real men solder big resistors, not this tiny crap.

po3mah, 19 days ago

@mihamarkic Yesterday I soldered tiny things. Today I chainsawed large wood logs. Am I a real man now? ;)

@johnmclear probably. I had to use a magnifying glass and glasses. This is not a problem, but my shaky hands...

johnmclear, 20 days ago

@po3mah I'd wager 99.9% of humans can't solder a 0201 so it's no small achievement!

po3mah, 20 days ago

@johnmclear Thanks for telling me! If I'd knew earlier, I wouldn't try :)

@po3mah Ever watched tronicsfix and the like on youtube do it? It's annoying how easy they make it look...

@johnmclear Yeah, it looks easy on YT :)
It took me almost an hour. The most annoying part was to hold the resistor in place (with thin tweezers) because it kept sticking to the bulky soldering iron tip.
