Hokey way to temporarily install a wESP32-Prog-C into a ManT1S using a rubber band. :)
Neal doing beauty shots of the ManT1S on a turntable.
Just showing the panel, breaking the rails off and showing the assembled board.
On top is a terminal showing a #Python session running the same code as before on MicroPython to send data through a socket to the Arduino SPE Shield, and below the Arduino Serial Monitor shows this data arriving at the Arduino using the UDP_Server example code.
Terminal on top shows a MicroPython REPL session with a command sending text to the Arduino SPE Shield over a socket, Arduino serial monitor on the bottom shows the text being received.
Robot claw with a ManT1S board to locally control the wrist rotation and tilt, and the claw opening and closing. Just a single twisted pair runs down the arm to power and control this part.
ManT1S controller for three servos strapped to the side of a robot arm with plastic tie straps.
wESP32-Prog connected to the ManT1S board from the bottom for programming. Not soldered, just temporarily pushed in.
Putting a ManT1S into the bowels of an existing 12V floodlight. The existing waterproofed power cable connects to the T1S networking/power pads.
ManT1S board test setup with a bench supply powering the ManT1S with 75V, and the ManT1S controlling an LED floodlight. The supply shows it's providing 20.85W.

ManT1S on EE Journal front page
Two terminals side by side, one running the ESP-IDF `iperf -u -s -i 3` and the other `iperf -u -c 192.168.1.190 -t 30 -i 3`, showing a 30s average of 9.12 Mbits/sec on the server (receiving) side.
ManT1S-Bridge from two angles.
In a Linux shell, the following command is executed: ./webrepl_cli.py mant1s-678756 After password prompt and typing in the password, a MicroPython shell appears. Then the commands: import sys sys.version Respond with: '3.4.0; MicroPython v1.26.0-preview.158.g5cfafb73d on 2025-05-28'
Sparkfun PIR Qwiic module connected to a ManT1S board.
ManT1S-Bridge seen from two different directions. RJ45 on one side, screw terminals for daisy chaining to T1S devices on the other side. Jumpers for termination and PoE power delivery.
Three ManT1S boards daisy chained together to network them together and distribute power.
