I had know clue of the space before to offer any suggestions..
Unfortunately.. now that I -do- the space available... DANG! Thats not a lot! LOL
roughly .78 x 0.59 x 0.59 inches!
I'm surprised you can fit a motor even?!
Is that for everything? or just the motor/servo/stepper portion?
What I have in front of me:
Radio Shack Micro Servo: (not currently a 360 degree one... but could probably be mod'd)
24mm x 20mm roughly (too big)
Radio Shack 5v Stepper Motor (small round type ones)
28mm x 19mm (roughly) (too big again)
I have same VERY VERY tiny micro stepper.. they would fit.. but doubt they would have enough torque to move anything. (they are the size of my finger tip!)
The lipo would be enough...
What is a feather? (Adafruit feather?)
Why two? Could you just use an ESP8266-01 standalone for $2.00 or whatever.?
I have an example I wrote where the esp8266 is a web sever, hosting its own page.. but also set up as a captive portal..
* so you connect to broadcasting SSID (wifi network).. with your phone (or whatever)..
* once connected,, if you open your browser and navigate to any page.. you'll only be served up the page that is hosted on the esp8266 module (that you write/wrote)
* this web page is really nothing but an interface for the 'prop' so you can control/move it around (click on a 'move x' link and it moves the servo..etc)
but you'd still need the stepper driver..
