Unofficial Arduino/PlatformIO ESP32 Library

The ESP32 is a WiFi+Bluetooth capable microcontroller. You can get a dev board that just needs a 5V power supply to work for about $3. With it you can effectively give your dice an internet/LAN connection or connect directly to other electronics. They’re cheap and small enough that you could stick them in the dice tower or tray, and not need to dedicate a phone or computer to connecting the dice to whatever web integration you want to use.

This library is available in the Arduino IDE and PlatformIO library managers.

I did a major integration that might make this a bit more approachable for people to integrate into their projects.

I integrated Pixel Dice functionality into WLED . This is a really amazing platform for doing LED display controls. It gives a really robust way to connect to the dice without a phone and integrate it into other applications.

Here’s a demo with links to more info on the project:
