 One solution to this problem is to have a device which acts like a USB memory stick, but with it's own WiFi connection, download the latest eQSL cards directly. This could then be used with any digital photo frame and operator autonomously. One solution to this problem is to have a device which acts like a USB memory stick, but with it's own WiFi connection, download the latest eQSL cards directly.

-Another goal was to make it simple so anyone could create one, with off the shelf parts if possible. Luckily, the //LILYGO® T-Dongle ESP32-S2 Development Board// was a ideal solution to this, offering SD card interface for storing images, USB-A port for plugging into digital photo frames, and added bonus of a TFT screen to display status messages.+Another goal was to make it simple so anyone could create one, with off the shelf parts if possible.

-Software has been created, using the Arduino development environment with ESP32-S2 core, using the eQSL API in order to fetch images, all running on the device itself. Other than the initial flashing and configuration, the device operates independently, able to be powered directly from USB port of the digital photo frame.+Software has been created, using the Arduino development environment with ESP32-S3 core, using the eQSL API in order to fetch images, all running on the device itself. Other than the initial flashing and configuration (WiFi and eQSL credentials), the device operates independently, able to be powered directly from USB port of the digital photo frame.
