"WhatsApp isn't everything," and here's why.

Introducing the Business Card of the future: 
Strong, long-lasting, and transformable into a mini electronic laboratory by soldering its components.

Features: 

🟢 Powered by a robust ESP32 core, it's not only perfect for AI training but also provides an ideal platform for cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. 
🟢 High-speed WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2. 
🟢 Outputs of 3.3V and 5V. 
🟢 USB Type-C connector, versatile for programming and power supply. 
🟢 2 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs (opto-isolated), and 6 auxiliary GPIOs. 
🟢 Compatible with 3 CR2032 batteries for low-power operations. 
🟢 External power supply for Lithium, LiPo, and Nickel-Cadmium batteries. 
🟢 2 independent relays for power control.
Here's the presentation of six projects you could do with this card:
1.- Digital Sensor (VN - VP): Laser LDR Alarm with mirrors and siren.
With this card, you can create a laser alarm. Using an LDR sensor with a laser and a mirror to form 2 beams of light. When either beam is interrupted, a siren is activated, ideal for home security or motion detection.
2.- WiFi/WhatsApp: WhatsApp Messaging for controlling your toaster and kettle.
And what if we raise the stakes and connect it to WiFi? One of the most innovative features of this card is its WiFi function with WhatsApp. You can program this card to send automatic messages via WhatsApp, allowing you to control two independent sockets. Imagine waking up in the morning and, with just sending a message, turn on your toaster and heat water in your kettle, all before getting out of bed.
3.- Analog Sensor: Smoke and Fire Detector with Telegram Alerts.
Man does not live by WhatsApp alone; with this card, you could implement a Gas and Fire detector through Telegram using two analog sensors. This system would immediately alert you in case of detecting Gas, Smoke, or Fire. With just sending an additional message, you can activate the smoke extractor or the fire alarm, providing a quick and effective response to emergency situations.
4.- What if the WiFi connection suddenly drops?
Don´t worries. With this card, you have access to a reliable alternative: Bluetooth connectivity! Additionally, you can leverage a customized app I've developed to control your devices easily and efficiently, such as your RGB LED strips, general lighting, as well as single-phase and three-phase motors via contactors. As you can see, this app provides intuitive and versatile control over various devices, showcasing this card's ability to integrate with modern technologies and simplify automation for your projects.
5.- Auxiliary GPIOs:
To wrap up, let me show you what you can do with the auxiliary GPIOs: like creating an automatic water level meter for your coffee maker using an ultrasonic sensor. This system measures the water level in the coffee maker and, when necessary, automatically activates the filling, ensuring you always have enough water for your coffee, perfectly without worrying about the levels.
6.- Servo Motor Demonstration: The ship's rudder I built last Halloween.
You can control a Servo Motor, similar to the one I used in the ship's rudder I built last Halloween (Here's the link). This project highlights the precision and versatility of the Servo Motor, illustrating the creative and functional potential of this card.
