So I’m 15 right now, ever since I watched Iron man I’ve been like really fascinated with this type of stuff. Like it’s something I enjoy doing. So there’s a lake nearby my house and some people say there are alligators and all there, so i could use XIAO ESP32S3 for my submarine that I’ll make since it’s wifi enabled and has an SD option, I could explore and map the whole lake and shoot videos. I would include revival system for my submarine Incase it goes out of range and much more. maybe I would find an alligator or something interesting or maybe some treasure! But to be honest I don’t really know much about electronics or programming and all this, like with school I barely get time to actually have an understanding of this which would be so cool since I would be able to make anything I want. But as of now, I’m just a kid who wants to build cool stuff but doesn’t know how to. It would be really kind of u if u can tell me how u started with all this and learnt it. Thank you so much for reading this, I really like your videos and hope to see more coool projects!

For the directional slider, I think it would be nice to give it a joystick behaviour, since its html and css, you could just make the function of adding the slider value to the endpoint to be called when the joystick is being hold. When it reads the "MouseUp" function, the slider goes back to 0 (maybe it needs to do it smoothly, idk if making it instantly go to 0 will work well). Like that it will feel more like a real controller, that is more intuitive. Could also do it for the forward and backwards slider, but I guess its not that needed.

Great work! I would love to have more Xiao ESP32-S3 Sense boards to build a sensor network with camera capabilities for monitoring plants. I have already made one using LoRa boards, which had several sensors connected. However, I believe that the small size and lower power consumption of the Xiao ESP32-S3 are more suitable for this type of project. Additionally, having a camera would allow me to analyze the data and also see how the plant is doing under those conditions. The idea is to help local producers by offering an affordable monitoring system.

@conorstewart2214 4 місяці тому
@@MaxImagination the antenna is made of two bits, the rectangular bit at the end is the actual antenna. The wire from the connector to the rectangle is coaxial wire, meaning it is a wire with a shield around it. Essentially there is a wire within a metal tube, the metal tube is grounded meaning the wire has less interference and doesn’t work like an antenna, same idea as metal shields around RF components, like the ESP32 modules themselves. Then when it gets to the end rectangle only the centre wire is connected to the actual antenna. Your solution likely worked because you probably soldered the shield to the antenna trace, essentially making the shield the antenna. Antennas are very complicated things, it isn’t advisable to just go cutting them up especially when you don’t know how they work.

I wonder how much footage (video) you made, and what was left in the end! You managed to make a very nice video out of it, very relaxing to watch at. With the XIAO ESP32S3 my idea would be to build a motion detector. It would go outside my house, hidden. Reason for this is that from time to time we get visitors (surely cats, but I also suspect dogs) who do their heavy job in front of our door. I tried using an old phone and an app, but I only got some vague shots. Perhaps I.R. light is part of the solution, I am not sure if that cam module can use I.R. light, but I expect it can.

Before it did have camera but 5 days ago when I saw your video I’ve immediately decided to add mini camera and ordered the XIAO ESP323 Sense .Also very nice build will wait for some other builds . Also bad thing that I can’t add a picture of the Rc plane .

Very nice! I have two recommendations though: Remove the C3 chip and smash the video and controller servers together, and you now have space for more battery capacity. And since the car will only be able to drive forward, you can just remove the IC, and control the motor with analogWrite(); function, and even more space for battery!
@MaxImagination 4 місяці тому
Good ideas, will consider making those changes if I choose to make an upgraded version of this car. Cheers.

Great use of this tiny board! With the XIAO ESP32S3 I would make a model rocket flight computer that will log accelerometer and barometer data in real time on the SD card so that it can be analysed later, record onboard video of the flights with the camera sticking out the rocket, as well as automatically deploying the parachute by detecting launchches/apogee. I’ve been wanting to make this project for a while so the ESP32S3 board would be perfect!!

An HO or 1:43 scale slot car (even the super cheap ones) would make a great starting platform for a project like this! Keep the guide pin(s) and (optionally) traction magnets, and you could run POV on track layouts (with or without power at the rail). Very cool!

If I had a XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, then I would make a Tiny Flight Controller my RC Plane to stabilise the plane during flight using an mpu6050, and also capture images during the flight from the sky. I would also add more sensors such as bmp180 for altitude measurement and transmit it or log it onto the board. Making the flight controller from the XIAO ESP32S3 Sense will prove very good due to its tiny size and less weight.

Nice video! I always wanted to do something like that, but I it seem nearly impossible for me to work on such a tiny car. I am currently making a card shuffling + dealing machine and I've had a challenge from a friend to make it able to send the cards that are going out, so this camera module together with an infrared LED will be a nice fit to use it with some Python code to recognize the cards before throwing them out.
