"Meet Tinytron, a portable tiny TV that can play movies using an SD card and stream videos from computers connected to WiFi. Built with a 3D printed case, the miniature device runs on a rechargeable battery and has only one control button. Its main heart lies in the use of the ESP32-S3 chip, which chip handles the display output, WiFi features, and file access."
"The designer, named Tom, wants to use as few hardware parts as possible for his portable tiny TV called Tinytron, hence the use of only three main materials, namely the ESP32 board, an SD card reader, and a battery. The device uses one physical button for all commands. A short press pauses or resumes playback. A double press plays the next file."
"The system also monitors the battery voltage and shows the value on the screen and in the web interface. When the portable tiny TV Tinytrone starts, it switches to SD Card Mode and looks for MJPEG .avi files stored on the card. When files are found, the device plays them in alphabetical order. all images courtesy of Tom via Youtube and Github How to make your own miniature television"
Tinytron is a compact portable TV built around an ESP32-S3 development board, a microSD card reader, and a rechargeable battery housed in a 3D-printed case. The device uses a 1.69-inch panel mounted directly on the board and reads MJPEG .avi files from a microSD card, playing files alphabetically in SD Card Mode. When no card is present, Tinytron streams video from a computer over WiFi through a browser-based web interface. A single button handles pause/resume, next-file, and power functions. Battery voltage is monitored and displayed on-screen and in the web interface. Assembly begins with an SD breakout, soldered header, and SPI cable preparation.
