This very cheap off the shelf nostr signing device is designed to work with Lilygos Tdisplay, but you can easily make work with any ESP32.
Data is sent to/from the Signing Device over webdev Serial, not the most secure data transmission method, but x1000 better than storing the privatekey on a computer. Clients could support sending to the device directly, but using is Nos2X is far more convenient.
- Flash the nostr-signing firmware directly from the browser using the installer
- Buy a Lilygo Tdisplay (although with a little tinkering any ESP32 will do)
- Install Arduino IDE 1.8.19
- Install ESP32 boards, using boards manager
- Download this repo
- Copy these libraries into your Arduino install "libraries" folder
- Open this snsd.ino file in the Arduino IDE
- Select "TTGO-LoRa32-OLED-V1" from tools>board
- Upload to device

Note: If using MacOS, you will need the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers available here https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers If you are using MacOS Big Sur or an Mac with M1 chip, you might encounter the issue
A fatal error occurred: Failed to write to target RAM (result was 0107)
, this is related to the chipset used by TTGO, you can find the correct driver and more info in this GitHub issue
