The goal is to create a remote control for a puppet.

  1. Direct communication between two ESP devices via ESP-NOW.
  2. Playing sound upon trigger.
  3. Control servo to articulate eye lids.
  4. Control motor to retract wings.

Implemented with Micropython https://micropython.org/download/ESP32_GENERIC_S3/

Example Ampy Commands: ampy -p /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 put receiver.py main.py

-: Setup Environment -- THIS -- sudo apt install python3-venv python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip3 install adafruit-ampy pip3 install esptool -- OR -- sudo apt install python3 python3-pip sudo pip3 install adafruit-ampy --break-system-packages sudo pip3 install esptool –break-system-packages -- THEN -- python3 -m esptool --port /dev/ttyACM0 erase_flash python3 -m esptool --chip esp32s3 --port /dev/ttyACM0 write_flash -z 0 ESP32_GENERIC_S3-SPIRAM_OCT-20240222-v1.22.2.bin ampy -p /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 put receiver.py main.py

To reset: -> Connect via serial port. picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyACM0 -> At the terminal, type the following: import machine machine.reset()

Questions

How big is the Remote PCB?

It measures 100 × 35 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Remote use?

25 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Remote KiCad files?

From the ajbradburn/ESP32-PuppetRemote repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/Remote/Remote.kicad_pcb and its schematic electronics/Controller/Controller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Remote design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ajbradburn before reusing the design.
