The topic Someone turned an ESP32 T-LoRa Pager into a portable music machine, and you can too<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

While Raspberry Pis and ESP32s are great for hobbyists, they are also regularly found in products. They’re very useful, after all, so it’s only natural that companies will use them as their hardware of choice when making something small that doesn’t need to be an absolute powerhouse.<\/p>\n

However, that also means that curious tinkerers are going to pop open the shell and mess with its innards. And yes, it’s more of a “will” than a “may.” Such is the case of the LILYGO T-LoRa Pager, which someone has tweaked to turn it into a portable music player. And if you just so happen to have a pager sitting around (who doesn’t?), you can even download the code to do it yourself.<\/p>\n

As posted on the ESP32 subreddit, user No_Wallaby6061 showed off what they’ve been doing with a LILYGO T-LoRa Pager they got their hands on. Because the LILYGO uses an ESP32 under the hood, No_Wallaby6061 got to work turning it into a cool portable music player that can play songs either stored on its memory or over the internet. The end result is called the Melody Machine, and honestly, it looks very sleek.<\/p>\n
