I used Espressif's ESPclaw with the ESP32-S31 development board to develop a stock dashboard through chat-based creation. It took me only 20 minutes, with token cost of 0.13 yuan on Deepseek—this is simply unimaginable.

This project combines ESPclaw with the ESP32-S31 development board, demonstrating how to quickly realize a practical smart hardware project—a real-time stock information display board—through chat-based creation.

### Development Board Flashing and Configuration

1. **Board Connection and Flashing**: Connect the ESP32-S31 development board to the computer and click online flashing. If an error occurs on the first click, ignore it; select the appropriate board model and click connect again to succeed. Then click start flashing to complete the firmware upload.

2. **Network and Tool Configuration**: After flashing, configure a 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network for the board to access the internet. Then go to the ESPclaw interface and set up the large model (e.g., using Deepseek’s API, which is inexpensive—development costs only a few cents), instant messaging tools (choose Feishu, WeChat, etc., or use the web chat directly), and the search platform (log in with a Google account to obtain a free key and fill it in). Restart the device after configuration.

### Stock Dashboard Project Implementation

Enter the ESPclaw chat interface and simply describe the project requirements in natural language, e.g., “I want to use the development board to create a stock dashboard that shows real-time stock information.” ESPclaw will automatically generate the code and implement the functionality. The resulting stock display interface shows stock symbols, prices, daily K-line charts, and supports a carousel of three specified stocks, making it ideal as a small desktop stock board.

### Project Advantages and Value

The combination of ESPclaw and the ESP32-S31 development board breaks the technical barriers of traditional hardware development, allowing users without deep programming knowledge to easily realize creative projects through chat. This project not only showcases the convenience of smart hardware development but also provides a reference example for financial information display, smart home control, and many other application scenarios.
