What hardware is used for the new Firefly?

Hey all ā€“ The new Firefly looks really sleek. Where can I learn more about the hardware used?

Cheers!

There are more details here, but if you have an ESP32-C3 dev board and an ST7789-based display you could get a basic working version right now to try out the firmware on.

Actually, this gave me an idea of putting together a little video on how to make a Firefly from components you may already have lying around, as it is all commodity hardware common for hobbies to have randomly stocked up on from AliExpress.

The main difference between all the dev boards and our design is that we provide a 16mb flash chip but dev boards use 4mb. But if you wanted to dabble, it would tide you over under we get the mass mail-out programs working. :slight_smile:
