Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project Complete your final project, tracking your progress:

  • What tasks have been completed, and what tasks remain?
  • What's working? what's not?
  • What questions need to be resolved?
  • What will happen when?
  • What have you learned?

Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~25 MB) and put them in your website’s root directory

What's working?

  • Wireless communication By using ESP-NOW communication, the signal from the wand can be sent to the main game stably.
  • Motion detection By the MPU6050, the wand can detect the motion of the player, and set as a trigger to send the signal to the main game.
  • The reaction of the main game After receive the signal from the wand, the light effect of the LED strip and the movement of the servo will be activated.

What have you learned?

  • Detect the motion and set it as a trigger.
  • Make up my own PCB from design to manufacture.
  • Integration of different system.

Intellectual Property Considerations

  • I do not plan to patent this project.
  • Instead, I favor open innovation and sharing, to encourage collaboration.
  • The components used (ESP32-C3, camera modules, etc.) are open and accessible.
  • Any machine learning model used will be based on open-source alternatives (e.g., Whisper, TFLite)
