ESPRocks are Open Source development boards that I designed in collaborartion with Vincenzo Cacciatore. They are based on ESP32 modules designed to help DIY developers to create reliable and flexible home automation systems with ease - with no soldering.
KURT is a versatile ESP32 development board that’s:
- 🧠 Smart — Powered by the dual-core Wi-Fi + Bluetooth ESP32 SoC
- 🔌 Modular — Adapter slots for sensors, displays, relays, LEDs, and more
- 🛡 Safe — Foolproof keyed connectors prevent wiring mistakes
- 🏎 Fast — No soldering, no breadboard spaghetti — just plug & play
