Worth noticing: The music player uses a XIAO ESP32-C3 to stream MP3s from a home Navidrome server without a phone.

Field notes

The component inventory names the modules used across the builds, including an ST7789 240×240 IPS display, microSD storage, USB-C charging, and a 450 mAh LiPo. The music-player notes describe a XIAO ESP32-C3 decoding MP3s from a home Navidrome server, with a PCM5102A DAC for line-out and an OLED for status; the site says its firmware rechecks the screen after power glitches.
