Hey everyone!

Quick update on the AMAN OS v2 ESP32 project (and a proper devlog)

CASE DESIGN PROGRESS:
I’ve been working on the 3D case design in Fusion 360 and made some solid progress. Created a full-body model to visualize the overall form factor and proportions - 140mm × 72mm × 28mm with rounded corners and all the major features (display opening, camera holes, side buttons, ports).

The model came out looking really clean! It’s helping me finalize the exact placement of components and getting a feel for how the device will look and feel in hand.

CURRENT STATUS:
✅ Overall case shape and dimensions finalized
✅ Display opening positioned (56×38mm with 2mm bezel)
✅ Camera placements marked (front 8mm, rear 10mm)
✅ Side buttons and port locations defined
✅ Rounded corners for ergonomic grip

NEXT STEPS (After Break):

  • Split the model into front shell and back panel
  • Add internal mounting features (ESP32 board mounts, battery clips, screw bosses)
  • Refine the design for 3D printing
  • Export final STL files
  • Start ordering components!

TAKING A BREAK:
I’ll be stepping away from the project until March 12th to focus on some other commitments. Need to recharge and come back with fresh eyes for the final CAD work.

See you all in March!

So this ia a weather station that connect to my tiny computer kinda thing made from an arduino uno so it connects to the computer via bluetooth and sends data here is the details and stuff

The AMAN OS Wireless Weather System is a dual-node Arduino project that expands the functionality of the original handheld OS by integrating remote environmental sensing. The Master Node, running the modified AMAN OS on an Arduino Uno, serves as the central hub and user interface. It features an HC-05 Bluetooth module configured as a receiver, which listens for incoming data packets on the hardware serial pins. Within the system software, a new operating state, STATE_WEATHER, has been added to the main menu logic. When selected, the OS enters a dedicated monitoring mode that parses incoming serial strings and displays real-time data on the I2C 16x2 LCD. This node also manages the single-button navigation system, allowing the user to return to the main menu with a long-press action.

The Slave Node acts as the remote Weather Station, consisting of a second Arduino Uno equipped with a DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor and a second HC-05 Bluetooth module configured as a transmitter. The sensor is connected to a digital I/O pin and is polled every two seconds via the DHT library. Once the temperature and humidity values are captured, the Slave Arduino formats the data into a concise text string—specifically H:XX% T:XXC—and broadcasts it wirelessly over the Bluetooth bridge. This modular design allows the Weather Station to be placed in a separate room or outdoors, while the AMAN OS device provides a seamless, integrated view of the remote environment alongside its built-in games and utilities.
