A 3D-printable handheld for the ESP32-1732S019 "CYD" board: 1.9" display, 5-way nav, microSD, onboard charging and an 18650. Files are open-source and free. Rather not build one? Buy it assembled.
Only a couple of assembled units are ready right now. If they're sold out, everything below lets you build your own.
Low-poly preview of the assembled shell (front + back combined). Spin it around.
Full GhostLink support - drive it from the GhostESP WebUI or the Android companion app over the network, no cable and hands-free.
The ESP32-S3 display board has PSRAM, so you can install apps from the marketplace or build and side-load your own.
Drop scripts and asset packs onto the SD card to add capabilities and reskin the interface whenever you like.
No external antennas to snap off - drop it in a backpack or a large pocket and it just goes with you.
Everything is a module: swap the C3 radio for a C5 if it fits the socket, replace the microSD board if it fails, or just reprint the case.
Open-source shell, documented parts list, off-the-shelf modules. Nothing proprietary, nothing locked to a vendor.
Boards drop into locating pockets, screwed retainer bars hold them down, and the front and back halves close with 4 × M2 screws.
Ballpark USD prices (AliExpress / Amazon / assortment kits). Cheaper if you already have M2 hardware and filament on hand. Green part names link to the exact AliExpress items used.
