🌟 Calling All Tech Enthusiasts! Join the CO2 Gadget Testing Adventure 🌟

[melkati]

Hello everyone!

Get ready to be part of something big! I'm looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are interested in collaborating to test and improve the probably most advanced CO2 monitor firmware in the world, the "CO2 Gadget Advanced Firmware" for ESP32! This firmware has been in development for four years and is already packed with numerous functionalities. Now, with the latest additions, it's going to be even better! What's new and exciting for testing is the support for e-ink displays and low-power features.

Over the past few months, I've poured hundreds of hours into this project, and there comes a point where I need help from others to test it because I simply can't do it all myself. Often, I find myself going in circles, wasting time, because when I make changes or additions, errors can slip in that take a long time to detect by myself. By the time I find them, there have been so many changes since I introduced the error that it becomes very difficult to fix. I end up spending more time fixing these errors than actually moving forward.

That's why I need committed and dedicated individuals. I commit to working with and helping those who participate by addressing the issues they report. But to achieve this, it's crucial to have a small group of people willing to test the new versions on different hardware and conditions.

If you're interested in being part of this testing process, contributing to the firmware's development, and/or working on its optimization and enhancement, please let me know by dropping me a message here. Your help will be invaluable in making this project a success!

To participate, all you need is an ESP32 and a CO2 Sensor, along with the ability to compile CO2 Gadget from sources available in the repository here on GitHub.

When reaching out to us, please mention:

The hardware you have for testing. The type of help you can provide: Compiling and testing new versions and giving feedback. Compiling from source, testing new versions, making minor code changes, and providing feedback. Contributing to development by fixing bugs or developing new additions (regardless of size, any contribution is valuable).

You can help with any hardware... Any CO2 Sensor! Any ESP32 board! Any display (or not display at all)! All combinations are fine...

By knowing what hardware you have available for testing, I can focus on supporting hardware that can be well tested.

Remember: I'm looking for committed and dedicated individuals. I don't want people who will just test the alpha version and forget about it. Together, we can make this firmware more robust and reliable for everyone. If you just want to try it by yourself you don't need to join the Alpha Testers Group, it's freely available at the repository.

Thank you for considering joining this exciting testing adventure!
