Being a bit old school and also unskilled at writing smartphone apps, wanted a universal control box for all kinds of homemade IOT things. It's just a dumb terminal that sends shaft encoder rotates/clicks to a server, and displays pixels sent to it. Based on an ESP-03 in a near ridiculous effort to use the minimum microcontroller to make this work. That also dates it. If I made this now it would have a better LCD than one of those old Nokia flip-phone ones.
