Fall-Detection Learning Prototype - main documented project
Reads acceleration and orientation relative to a startup baseline. A high- or low-acceleration event followed by sustained tilt starts a local 20-second countdown; the button cancels it. This is an educational bench experiment, not a safety or medical device.
What you build in this project
Fall-Detection Learning Prototype - main documented project 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.
Reads acceleration and orientation relative to a startup baseline. A high- or low-acceleration event followed by sustained tilt starts a local 20-second countdown; the button cancels it. This is an educational bench experiment, not a safety or medical device.
Parts used
ESP32U, GY-521, DIY-003 OLED, one DIY-158 tactile switch, DIY-212 jumper pack, DIY-295 full-size breadboard, customer-supplied USB data cable and computer
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.
