    It's a really great idea! How much for all the parts?
    • nonstopnonsense
      All the 6 boards with mic and speakers set me back by $250 Canadian. And the 3D prints are $17 a piece.

        Very cool, I made a similar walkie talkie style program. https://gitlab.com/here_forawhile/terminalphone

        I didn't realize a esp could run the tor binaries. I may have to dive into seeing if I can get it running on one now!

        Cool project thanks for sharing.

          Nice! I'll check this over the weekend and see what I can borrow from Tor perspective. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Where can I buy 5 units?
    • nonstopnonsense
      I bought all the units from here: https://itead.cc/product/open-nextion-2-8-genius-series-esp3.... Flashed them with custom and printed the boards.
