One of my favorite IOT device that i use everyday for fun and to improve my skill is ESP32, especially in my Micro Drone project. The ESP32 makes it easy to control the drone wirelessly over WiFi for which i built my own app using processing IDE to manage Roll, Pitch, Throttle and Yaw data, also make it able to tune PID values in real time without reuploading the code. Additionally i use MPU6050, 8520 motors, 55mm propellers, AO3400 mosfets, 1S 300Mah lipo battery and design my own PCB on which all components can be mount together along with motors and landing gears, also building my own drone firmware on arduino IDE, all of these are connected and controlled by ESP32 which makes flying the drone both fun and educational.

My Internet Radio

One IOT project that I made and use everyday is an internet radio that I made with an ESP8266.

It is a simple device that uses an ESP8266 to stream internet streaming links using a PAM 8403 amplifier module and a mini 2 watt speaker.
It also has a small OLED screen to show the information about the track that is playing.

The box is made by making a few holes in a project box. Here are a few images of the prototype and the finished project.
