The device has an array of basic components like a built-in microphone, speaker, temperature sensor, IR diode, and light sensor. These components are all connected via a DIP switch to ESP32, enabling the user to select which sensors to connect. If a larger number of input/ output pins are required, users can release pins for sensors with a microswitch. This opens up a wealth of possibilities for connection to various input/ output units such as sensors and actuators.
