Retrospective
What Went Well
- ESP32-C6 Choice: The RISC-V architecture proved powerful and efficient.
- Team Synergy: Clear role division (Denis on HW, Danylo on Arch, Ondrej on Docs) prevented stepping on toes.
- Docusaurus: Moving to Docusaurus significantly improved our documentation quality.
Challenges
- DMA Complexity: Setting up SPI DMA for the display was harder than expected but worth the performance gain.
- Power Management: Balancing WiFi/BT power usage with battery life requires further optimization.
Future Improvements
- Modular Hardware: Plan to design a custom PCB with add-on modules.
- Web Flasher: Implement a web-based tool to flash the firmware directly from the browser.
Best Practices Established
- Documentation First: Writing docs (thanks to Ondrej) helps clarify requirements before coding.
- Automated Builds: CI saves time and catches compilation errors early.
