Building a Custom ESP32 Tamagotchi Easily with AI Agents
Scobleizer · x · 2026-08-04
Inspired by other makers, a developer used an ESP32 microcontroller to build a Tamagotchi-style robot companion for his 6-year-old son.
With the help of AI agents, he was able to write and flash the new firmware smoothly, noting that the process was surprisingly straightforward and could likely be done in a single prompt. The cute desktop robot currently features 5 different moods. The creator plans to polish its facial expressions next and potentially add voice support.
