Behind its geometric planter shell, murCO uses an ESP32-based controller and SCD40 sensor to send local CO₂, temperature, and humidity readings to Home Assistant. LEDs, optional speech, and Bluetooth proxy features make ventilation information useful without depending on a dashboard. The open-source repository and project documentation provide implementation details.

Tiny points of colored light can feel surprisingly alive when they move, fade, and sparkle independently. This project pairs an ESP32-based Adafruit board with addressable LEDs and CircuitPython, giving makers a hands-on way to build an animated display, then adjust its colors, timing, brightness, and physical form.

At 2.02 volts, a battery pack exposed the gap between firmware’s “protected” message and real electrical safety. This ESP-NOW RC car pairs an ESP32 controller with an ESP8266 vehicle board, then adds packet checks, acknowledgements, failsafes, pairing, and hard-won debugging lessons from actual hardware faults.

Three useful readings come from one fingertip module: heart rate, SpO2, and temperature. This ESP32 project covers the wiring, Arduino sketches, and optical sensing behind each value. It is a practical introduction to I2C and physiological data, but the results are experimental and not suitable for medical diagnosis.

Pressure-cooker whistles are easy to miss when the kitchen gets busy. This ESP32 project uses a MAX4466 microphone to count sound events, then sends a WhatsApp message through CircuitDigest Cloud when the selected count is reached. It needs careful calibration, reliable Wi-Fi, and continued supervision around the cooker.

On a desk or wall, SonosESP turns a 4-inch or 7-inch touchscreen and ESP32-P4 into a dedicated music remote. It browses libraries, controls speakers across rooms, shows album art and lyrics, displays weather and clocks, and receives firmware updates without being removed from its mounting.
