BPM Meter Using an ESP-32-WROOM

After recently learning that the ESP-32-WROOM has a built-in ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), I started trying to figure out a good project to use it for. I have some knowledge of ADCs and DACs from my EE days, but I haven't used them outside of the context of an SDR. I figured a simple BPM meter would be a good project to help me learn how to use the ADC in a microcontroller. The device will connect to the RCA output or headphone output from a mixer and use the ADC to measure the voltage of the audio signal. It then uses a simple algorithm to calculate the BPM of the music. It also uses a .96" LCD display to show the BPM and a series of resistors and capacitors to filter the signal and keep the voltage at a safe level for the ADC. Github link, component list, and 3D case model will be added shortly.
**This project is still in progress and not based on an existing project. Therefore, I have no idea if this will reliably work. I will update this post when I have done more testing.**

Soldering Fume Extractor 3D Build

I have a bunch of new 80mm PC fans that I have been looking to use for a project.I decided to finally build a 3D printed fume extractor for my soldering station using 80mm PC Fan Soldering Fume Extractor.

NOTCHACOTCHA Rebuild & Flipper Zero Integration

Started rebuilding the NOTCHACOTCHA repo. Planning to build a Flipper Zero compatible board for laser jamming using the Notchacotcha project as a base. I still need to research the laser radar technology currently deployed by local law enforcement.
