Dustin WattsThis video is made possible by PCBWay: pcbway.com The 4th video about the stepper motor driver (with WiFi and BLE) to drive 5 steppers. I am planning to use this on my camera jig for super smooth shots.
In this video, the ESP32 is going on the board. After that I add one stepper driver and see if I can actually drive a stepper motor.

The ESP32 TouchDown is designed with FreeTouchDeck (github.com/DustinWatts/FreeTouchDeck) in mind. The ESP32 TouchDown is the one stop solution to get a FreeTouchDeck up and running with capacitive touch without the need to buy separate modules. You have the option to get your ESP32 TouchDown shipped to you with FreeTouchDeck installed!
ESP32 TouchDown is complete solution for anyone who wants/needs an ESP32 with capacitive touchscreen. It also has battery management onboard, a piezo speaker, and an SD card reader. ESP32 TouchDown works out of the box with the Arduino IDE, providing you have installed the ESP32 Arduino Core. Pins that are not used by the peripherals onboard are broken out.

FreeTouchDeck.Dustin Watts2020-11-15 | This is my take on an open source alternative for a Stream Deck. Stream Deck starts at around $120. FreeTouchDeck on the other hand can be built for less then $20! It can be used to create pages of hotkeys to control software like OBS, or your favorite design software, or just shortcuts to speed up common tasks.
Although still in the early stages of development you are welcome (and very much encouraged!) to give it a try and/or join the development!
