kinda amazed you can get a microcontroller SOC board w/ case, battery and a screen for about 50 bucks shipped.

And if you are willing to compromise on the lack of case and a smaller screen you can get them for as low as 6 bucks shipped. Look for the ttgo esp32 with usbc and integrated lipo charging circuit, can highly recommend them!

I just today decided to build a Pwnagotchi[0], and I've got a spare M5Stack[1] sitting in a closet, so it looks like I now have two projects for this weekend! Even though the ESP family has been around for a while, I continue to be amazed by what people can accomplish with such resource constrained (by today's standards) embedded systems.

By today's standards, indeed. Those devices are very powerful for their size. A single one would be able to coordinate a fleet of moon landers.

Be careful what data you collect: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joffe_v._Google,_Inc .

I think you're probably pretty safe as a private individual doing this for fun or as part of red team ops. If you launch a worldwide dragnet for this kind of data and then publicly use that data as part of your commercial offerings, the story changes somewhat.

Also recommended here.

Check these out. ESP32 (wifi+bluetooth), lora radios, GPS, oled screen, and battery holder - ~$25US:

I have four of them, all work exactly as described.

And what tda is talking about for ~$8US: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32824839148.html

Or no screen, but with an SD card slot for %5US: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32846099054.html

I bet that last one would run Hash Monster just fine - if you need a screen for feedback - they're under $3: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32922106384.html

I don't know how much confidence I would put into this, but there is an amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/M5Stack-Development-Extensible-Contro...

If you want one, they look to be cheaper at adafruit ($34 or $42 if you want the motion sensor): https://www.adafruit.com/product/4178 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4177

or mouser: ($43): https://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine?Keyword=M5Stack+ESP32
