Information

The ESPKnack has been designed to project versatility, from a bench STEM learning board, LoRa Dev Board, or a complete fully kitted LoRa project.

Galvanic Isolation on both Inputs and Outputs, with multiple interfaces and expansion options.

You have the option to easily disable the LoRa device, so using this ESPKnack just on WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee or Thread.

The options are left to your imagination, with this super ESPKnack.

What is ESPKnack?

Following in the success of the ESPRanger, coupled with user and backer feedback to further expand features and capabilities in other projects, this has culminated in the ESPKnack.

What I have done in ESPKnack, is to take the core of ESPuno Pi Zero with ESPRanger, and couple in, or fused, essentially Galvanic Isolation for inputs and outputs.

The below video is a preview of the ESPKnack using a concept board with ESPRanger.   A more detailed video will follow using the ESPKnack Beta Board as part of lab testing.

The ESPKnack will be the main board, together with optional Panel display board and DIN enclosure.

The ESPKnack can also be used as a standard ESP32-C6 based interface board (without LoRa), simply by not adding the LoRa enable jumper.  This give you a great all around interfacing board, using the ESP Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread or ZigBee communications.
