Designing a Mobile Storage Device Based on ESP32

Designing a Mobile Storage Device Based on ESP32

Introduction I previously envisioned a mobile storage device based on the ESP32, and now I am attempting to create a prototype. The first step, I believe, is to design a dedicated PCB. I previously used an ESP32S3 development board to test how to run WebDAV, but the flash memory on the development board only has … Read more
