Some images are AI-generated illustrations, made to match this kit’s actual contents. Colours and small details may differ — see “In the box” and the kit details below for the exact parts.

An ESP32 learning kit about motion sensing: Start here, then 5 lessons - a button and OLED countdown, tilt angles from a GY-521 motion sensor, a live graph of jolts and drops, a buzzer alert, and finally a fall-detection experiment that starts a cancellable countdown when a jolt is followed by staying tipped over. Each lesson has a wiring diagram, code and troubleshooting. Code compiler-checked for the ESP32; the physical build is not bench-tested. A learning experiment only - not a medical, wheelchair-safety or emergency device.

Learning experiment only - not a medical device, wheelchair safety system, emergency alarm or substitute for supervision. Safety notes

Learning experiment only - not a medical device, wheelchair safety system, emergency alarm or substitute for supervision. It sends no message and calls no one.

  • Never attach it to a person or a wheelchair. Test only on a light, padded, unoccupied platform; never drop or tip a person or a wheelchair.
  • False alarms and missed events are expected - recording them is part of the lessons.
  • Power the ESP32 from USB only. Do not connect a battery or charger to it.
  • Every module (OLED, GY-521, buzzer) goes to 3V3 - never 5V or VIN. The buzzer module is powered from 3V3 so the ESP32 can switch it.
  • Unplug USB before rewiring. Keep the buzzer away from ears.
  • Code compiler-checked for the ESP32; the complete physical build, thresholds and detection are not bench-tested. Go by the labels printed on your parts.

Recommended age: 12+ with adult supervision; adult help is required for any soldering.

5 lessons, in order

All built from the parts in the box plus the basics under You also need. Each one has its own page with wiring, steps and code.

  1. 1 Button & OLED Countdown Wire the OLED screen and a button, then make a 20-second countdown that a press starts and a second press cancels. 40 min · Beginner
  2. 2 Tilt Angle from a Baseline Add the motion sensor. It learns which way is "upright", then the OLED shows how many degrees you have tilted it. 30 min · Beginner Adult help
  3. 3 Motion Data Lab Draw the total g-force on a live graph and count every jolt and every drop - the two signals the main build looks for. 30 min · Intermediate Extra equipment
  4. 4 Buzzer Alert Add the buzzer and build an alert that beeps until you press the button - and stops by itself after 15 seconds. 25 min · Beginner Extra equipment
  5. 5 Fall-Detection Learning Prototype Put it all together: a jolt or drop followed by staying tipped over starts a beeping 20-second countdown that the button cancels. A learning experime… 45-60 min · Intermediate Extra equipment

Who it's for

An ESP32 learning kit about motion sensing. A GY-521 (MPU-6050) motion sensor, an OLED, a button and an optional buzzer build up over 5 lessons into a bench experiment: a jolt or drop followed by staying tipped over starts a 20-second countdown, which the button cancels; otherwise a local alert shows (and beeps, with the buzzer) on the bench. It sends no message and is not a medical, wheelchair-safety or emergency device.

Level · Intermediate

For learners aged 12+ with adult supervision who have built a simple circuit before. Start here installs the ESP32 tools; then do the 5 lessons in order. Everything plugs together with jumper wires - no soldering, unless your GY-521 or OLED arrives with loose pins.

Time

45-60 min setup, then 5 lessons of 25-60 min (about 4 hours in all). The set-up alone — computer, cable, first upload — is about 45-60 min.
