ESP32-S3 Boards Detecting Human Movement Using Wi-Fi This DIY ESP32-S3 Wi-Fi Sensing System Detects People and Tracks Movements Without a Camera at 80% Accuracy

Better Stack from Youtube recently used an open-source project called RuView and explored how Wi-Fi signals can be used to detect human presence and movements without relying on a camera. He describes how Wi-Fi signals change as he travels through a room and bounce off walls, furniture, and people. When someone moves, their body alters the signal's strength and phase across different frequency…

Handheld ESP32-S3 Color Picker Scanning Real-World Object This ESP32-S3 Real Life Color Picker Brings the Digital Eyedropper to the Real World With RGB and HEX Values

Tech Talkies Youtube channel has built a handheld color picker using the ESP32-S3 that can scan the color of a real-world object and show its RGB and HEX values on a small display. Users can point the device at a surface, capture its color, and see the result without relying on a phone camera or computer. This makes it useful for designers, makers, artists, and anyone who wants to quickly…

Smart Wireless Doorbell Using IoT How to Build a Smart Wireless Doorbell System Using IoT

Missing a visitor at the front door usually means missed package deliveries, keeping friends waiting outside, or missing unexpected guests. Standard doorbells only work if we happen to be sitting nearby and the chime is loud enough to hear. If we are stuck in a work meeting, listening to music with headphones, or away from home, it is easy to miss the ring, leaving…

ESP32 Smart Mailbox With Computer Vision ESP32-Based Smart Mailbox Uses Computer Vision to Detect Packages and Trigger Motorized Doors and Alerts

The project documents a fully automated smart mailbox built by Re-Crafting DIY. It integrates advanced electronics to solve practical issues like package theft, weather damage, and inadequate storage space. By repurposing an old car’s wiper motor for the door mechanism, the mailbox features a heavy-duty, motorized front door controlled by a central brain. It might have been a little too much…

Wireless 3D Scanner With ESP32-S3 And Rotating Maker Builds a Wireless 3D Scanner Using ESP32-S3 and Rotating LiDAR That Streams Data to a Custom Android App

A maker has built a standalone 3D LiDAR scanner that turns an inexpensive rotating LiDAR module into a wireless spatial-mapping device. The scanner rotates the sensor to collect distance measurements across multiple angles, allowing it to capture the shape of objects and surrounding spaces instead of producing only a flat 2D scan.

An ESP32-S3 acts as…
