Button and OLED Countdown Lab - supported diagnostic
Set FALL_DIAGNOSTIC=true to start the countdown from the button without moving the sensor. Check display states, debounce, countdown timing and cancellation, then restore false for the motion experiment.
What you build in this project
Button and OLED Countdown Lab - supported diagnostic is one focused build from the ESP32 Fall-Detection Learning Prototype. It uses the parts listed below to make a working electronics example, then you can combine it with the other projects in the kit.
Set FALL_DIAGNOSTIC=true to start the countdown from the button without moving the sensor. Check display states, debounce, countdown timing and cancellation, then restore false for the motion experiment.
Parts used
ESP32U, DIY-003 OLED, one DIY-158 tactile switch, DIY-212 jumper pack, DIY-295 breadboard
What to check
Wire the parts, upload the sketch from the kit page, then test this project by watching the Serial Monitor or the output behavior.
What you learn
You learn how the controller reads real sensor signals, makes a decision in code, and turns that result into a useful output.
What this project uses
Every item is in the kit — nothing extra to buy.
