AI-On-The-Edge-Cam is an ESP32-S3 board with a 2MP camera, microSD card, WiFi, BLE, and PoE Ethernet connectivity designed to digitize legacy utility meters such as water meters, gas meters, or electricity meters that require manual onsite reading. It supports Tensorflow Lite, has a web interface, and integrates with Home Assistant.
A technique called lock-in thermography can enhance the thermal resolution of even low-cost IR cameras, allowing for more detailed thermal imaging by periodically modulating the heat produced by a device and applying math to the captured images.
rtl_433 is an open-source program designed to decode radio transmissions from various devices operating on ISM bands. It supports RTL-SDR and SoapySDR and can decode a wide range of sensors, including temperature, humidity, and rain gauges. The software is written in C and is known for its low resource consumption.
CodeCell is a tiny, Arduino-compatible module with an ESP32-C3, sensors (light, proximity, optional motion), and USB-C charging. Perfect for robotics, wearables, and IoT projects.
This article details a DIY presence sensor project inspired by the Everything Presence Lite kit, utilizing a millimeter wave sensor and a BME680 environmental sensor for accurate motion and heart rate detection.
