📢PROJECT NEWS 📢 The FPV RC Hot Wheels car no longer needs to be run with a separate ESP32 for live video streaming. The camera's code now supports on-screen thumb-stick controls integrated with the web application! You can instead upload the camera's ESP32-CAM MJPEG code to the XIAO ESP32S3 Camera only and have a working car with video feed and RC control from one device. For more details and steps on how this can be done, read here: github.com/s60sc/ESP32-CAM_MJPEG2SD?tab=readme-ov-file#remote-control 🔴(GIVEAWAY CLOSED)🔴Winners were announced on the channel's community tab. Thanks to those of you who participated!
Hi Max, Whilst the majority of the things you build are way beyond what I can do (old age = bad eyesight and shaky hands), I have to say your skillset is amazing... Thank you for sharing these videos with us, please keep up the splendid work... All the very best... Andy...
So I’m 15 right now, ever since I watched Iron man I’ve been like really fascinated with this type of stuff. Like it’s something I enjoy doing. So there’s a lake nearby my house and some people say there are alligators and all there, so i could use XIAO ESP32S3 for my submarine that I’ll make since it’s wifi enabled and has an SD option, I could explore and map the whole lake and shoot videos. I would include revival system for my submarine Incase it goes out of range and much more. maybe I would find an alligator or something interesting or maybe some treasure! But to be honest I don’t really know much about electronics or programming and all this, like with school I barely get time to actually have an understanding of this which would be so cool since I would be able to make anything I want. But as of now, I’m just a kid who wants to build cool stuff but doesn’t know how to. It would be really kind of u if u can tell me how u started with all this and learnt it. Thank you so much for reading this, I really like your videos and hope to see more coool projects!
Radio waves dont go through water very well, maybe use sonar to control it somehow? Or have a base station on the surface of the water where the esp32 will be?
Just keep going when I heard your story it made a smile on my face and keep going because as I hear it now you are really good and it is impressive keep going!
Dude, thats insane!!! If making an RC hotwheel isn’t hard enough, you made an FPV version and designed your own parts which has gotta be 5x harder than my project 🤯🤯🤯 And you did it within 1 1/2 months??? And you soldered all those wires??? 😵 Congrats man, I gotta give it to you, you’re an inspiration to all of us ❤🎉
Thank you so much for your kind and supportive comment, Aaron! Loved the work you did on converting your own Hot Wheels car! So cool to be in touch with another maker with common interests. Yep, one and a half months was what it took to make it, seemed like a while, but was well worth it in the end :) Much appreciated... 😊 Max
I was gonna buy some of these little cameras to make a multi-sensored security system for my house considering the activities in my area have been kinda sussy lately. This XIAO ESP32S3 sense would do perfectly!
As a maker, I saw that you really spent a lot of time and effort for this project. I really appreciate it! I was surprised that you used 2 microcontrollers instead of one, I think that is a disadvantage. Recently I made my own esp8266 wifi car, and soon I will make esp32 cam wifi car. it would be awesome! Follow the channel, I will publish it as a video. And again, I was amazed by your skills. You never stopped even though you came across obstacles. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for your kind comment and time for noticing my efforts. I am thinking of upgrading it to have both web servers run on the one camera microcontroller in the future. I had to resort to using 2 of them as I was running out of time for figuring out that task. I'll definitely sub to your channel and see what you have to post! Cheers!
I really wish I could help you with a video, but I must pursue other projects as a top priority instead. However, you should check out this one from where I got the design idea for mine: th-cam.com/video/fkkzBEm8IEg/w-d-xo.html@@technolodroid1825
I want to make a mini or mini rc car that can be controlled by phone I would also like to ass a small servo to move the camara so I can reverse or see many angles
For the directional slider, I think it would be nice to give it a joystick behaviour, since its html and css, you could just make the function of adding the slider value to the endpoint to be called when the joystick is being hold. When it reads the "MouseUp" function, the slider goes back to 0 (maybe it needs to do it smoothly, idk if making it instantly go to 0 will work well). Like that it will feel more like a real controller, that is more intuitive. Could also do it for the forward and backwards slider, but I guess its not that needed.
Great idea and implementation! I would use an ESP32-S3 for one of my projects I am working on Right now. Either as a camera object and Face recognition implementation for my diy Smart glasses (/augumented Reality glasses) Or put it in my diy Iron Man helmet as an additional camera to Improve the object detection which will be displayed on the helmets HUD.
Great Videos Max! I am in the process of building an automated food dispenser for my guinea pigs. I often go on little trips for 1-2 days, so having a way to make sure my guineas are fed is crucial. Aside from having family check in, I would use the XIAO ESP32S3 camera to remotely monitor their pellets and to ensure the food dispenser is operating properly.
Hi Max! I am going to make a few projects, currently I’m working on a F22 jet and an indoor mini hot wheels car just like this video! Having fpv would be great and these cameras look perfect!
Bro!!! this is one of the coolest things i've seen. Because of you i am now getting into building an RC car with my son. please continue the great work.
I want to build a robotic arm that I could either control with a small exoskeleton that would go on my arm or by a set program for an automated task, but I also want it to be able to see and be able to recognize when something is wrong or where things are which is where the XIA0 would come in. I have been looking for a small camera module that could do this but the XIA0 would be perfect for the job.
Soldering the parts was so Amazing, I wish i could do that expert thing. Thank you sir @MaxImagination for giving me an idea for a project that I can make as a gift for my child this coming Christmas. GREAT!
That's an awesome project! I enjoy seeing the challenges it presents. Currently, I'm working on a project to measure the pH and EC in my hydroponic NFT system. If I were to get an XIAO ESP32S3 camera, I would use it to create a time-lapse of the system, allowing me to observe the growth of my plants.
Woow! since I was a child I wished there was such a small remote controlled car, I am very happy to know that someone has done this! I will try for sure! I'm working on a project, it's a kind of remote controlled submarine and an esp32 would be ideal for that! Btw thank you for the videos, keep it up!
Thank you, Benjamin! Wish I could help you with your project, but the giveaway had already closed on the day you made your comment. Winners were announced on the community tab. Thank you again, cheers! Best of luck with your own projects!
Great work! I would love to have more Xiao ESP32-S3 Sense boards to build a sensor network with camera capabilities for monitoring plants. I have already made one using LoRa boards, which had several sensors connected. However, I believe that the small size and lower power consumption of the Xiao ESP32-S3 are more suitable for this type of project. Additionally, having a camera would allow me to analyze the data and also see how the plant is doing under those conditions. The idea is to help local producers by offering an affordable monitoring system.
@@MaxImaginationok my project idea is I want to make a drone in which this esp23s3 cam module is fixed so that we can assess the video of the position where drone is present.this type of drone is used for military purpose to know how many troops are present at enemy camps .
Hey, great project! With the Xiao esp camera, I would add video surveilance of my house to another project I'm currently working on, a circular TFT screen that sits on my desk, and shows general information, like a clock, what my spotify is doing, and upcoming events in my google calendar. It would be really cool to get it to show a live camera feed from the module.
First of all amazing build. Im going to make a small city and 4 cars with the XIAO ESP like yours and drive around drifting with my friends. I was looking for a long time for a camera that small.
your videos are bringing life to my childhood engineering dreams! i used to open any electronics i could get my hands on and try to replicate it to understand about thier workings, and i litereally used to buuild retro custom version of my electronic toys and RC cars!
This just shows how far we have come... I had a micro rc got way back for my birthday from toys r us smaller than this but minus camera ... My brother broke it because i didnt want to let him play with it... i was sure he was going to break it...and he did...
I wonder how much footage (video) you made, and what was left in the end! You managed to make a very nice video out of it, very relaxing to watch at. With the XIAO ESP32S3 my idea would be to build a motion detector. It would go outside my house, hidden. Reason for this is that from time to time we get visitors (surely cats, but I also suspect dogs) who do their heavy job in front of our door. I tried using an old phone and an app, but I only got some vague shots. Perhaps I.R. light is part of the solution, I am not sure if that cam module can use I.R. light, but I expect it can.
Most of the recorded footage was when the camera was running from the car being left turned on, not recording anything really while I was testing it and making adjustments (the camera automatically records a clip when movement is detected). Thanks for your comment, your giveaway entry has been added 👍
@@MaxImagination You're welcome Max! I looked back at a few of your older videos! In just 5 years of knowing you, I've seen you grown into such an intelligent young man. Very proud of you and what you're doing!
I can't find any proper vide to make a mini rc car but you make a full detail video on this with a inbuild fpv camera & specifically programing part which i like most I did not have all this modules to make it because I am a student but I will definitely make this in future Thanks for making video for us 😊
An HO or 1:43 scale slot car (even the super cheap ones) would make a great starting platform for a project like this! Keep the guide pin(s) and (optionally) traction magnets, and you could run POV on track layouts (with or without power at the rail). Very cool!
See also: old Tyco/Ideal Command and Control cars (70’s-80’s), Tyco TCR (80’s-90’s), and similar era “slot less” cars which have crude steering mechanisms for lane switching on 3-wire (per lane) slot less track … could be another good platform for this project, on or off it’s original track!
"DREAM COMES TRUE" Congratulations 🎉Max for a successful project and You made the impossible one posible with your hard work and Consistency, with a mind of "NEVER GIVE UP"👏 HIGHLIGHTS: PRO EDITING AND WITH COOL DRIFT SCENES If i get a chance to win the giveaway i would make a Spy pocket Camera or A home security camera with motion detection feature! Have a great weekend Buddy 😁🤝
Kumar, thank you so much for your kind words! Consistency and utmost dedication is definitely key to any form of success... Cool ideas, I will collect your giveaway entry! Enjoy your weekend too and I wish you a productive week ahead, buddy 😁🤝
Very nice! I have two recommendations though: Remove the C3 chip and smash the video and controller servers together, and you now have space for more battery capacity. And since the car will only be able to drive forward, you can just remove the IC, and control the motor with analogWrite(); function, and even more space for battery!
Maybe try a micro rc pape4 plane while using that seedstudio board as fpv , it's pretty easy to do if you consider differential thrust only with 2 motors. I can help you with that.
For clarification, is the seeeduino esp32 being used only as video transfer while the esp32 c3 is used for the controls transfer, and theyre completely independent apart from power?
Hi Max, I adore every aspect the XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense. I'd love to make a wearable glass out of its small form factor that can record the sign language of the person across from you and then transcript it into text so you can read it and talk back to him. According to me, the XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense is the ideal microcontroller for my project as its compaq size, low power consumption thus extremely suitable for smart glasses projects. My idea is to connect people who disabled in some aspects to the fast-developed community. I also think that XIAO community is really looking eager to a truly wearable device that utilize all the power of this tiny board.

this is really cool! if I had one, I would likely create a drone with the ESP32 and camera module, and kinda use inspiration from your own drones and this project’s controls. u are very talented, thank u for a great video! :)
@@MaxImagination please keep making good videos! post whenever, it’s your channel, and I’m always happy to see your creations whenever! Btw do u have degree in Comp Sci or CompE? It’s interesting how u have knowledge on creation of tech
@@MaxImagination Interesting! Would also love to see a video about how u learned stuff like this online, like the multitude of resources and online learning tools u used! But ofc, post when u can!
this is amazing, i had some ideas for how it could be made better, but i want to preface them by saying i would have done the same or worse if i didn't have this video to learn from 1. a custom board with all the components, even the esp32 chip (the esp8266 might be better if we aren't using bluetooth since it still has wifi) could be directly integrated 2. the esp32 is acting as a webserver, but you could absolutely change the html sent to the phone device to be split screen. still super cool
I’ve built a mini Rc plane slow flying only 40 cm wing span based on arduino nano and NRF module. Before it did have camera but 5 days ago when I saw your video I’ve immediately decided to add mini camera and ordered the XIAO ESP323 Sense .Also very nice build will wait for some other builds . Also bad thing that I can’t add a picture of the Rc plane .
This is really challenging project but you done it very well hat's off for your work specially for micro electronics everything is perfectly fitted & doing great job. Keep rocking max with a such great work
I am currently working on pipeline inspection robot and i can use ESP32 S3 Module for live transmission of video data as it also has live video recording. It is also compact in size so that i can use it in smaller robots for smaller diameter pipelines. As it also has inbuilt wifi and bluetooth connectivity so i can easily view the video data on the locally hosted webserver. I was basically thinking of caddex ratel 2 or foxeer cam modules and a tbs vtx and a tbs triumb pro antenna for longer range but this is more costly ESP32 S3 is great alternative for this
If I had a XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, then I would make a Tiny Flight Controller my RC Plane to stabilise the plane during flight using an mpu6050, and also capture images during the flight from the sky. I would also add more sensors such as bmp180 for altitude measurement and transmit it or log it onto the board. Making the flight controller from the XIAO ESP32S3 Sense will prove very good due to its tiny size and less weight.
As always an amazing demonstration of innovation and creativity Max, on the other hand I would create a miniature rover with AI integration that would serve as a security drone with the Xiao esp32s3 sense
Another cool Idea with the Esp32 camera could be like designing a small device like a spiderbot, which could stick to any surface , and would also contain a miniature proximity sensor that would allow it to move away if someone tries to remove it from its place. 😊 Really love your content BTW . keep inspiring creators like us !
Great use of this tiny board! With the XIAO ESP32S3 I would make a model rocket flight computer that will log accelerometer and barometer data in real time on the SD card so that it can be analysed later, record onboard video of the flights with the camera sticking out the rocket, as well as automatically deploying the parachute by detecting launchches/apogee. I’ve been wanting to make this project for a while so the ESP32S3 board would be perfect!!

@@MaxImagination Hello Max. Thanks a lot! I cannot send you my email address through a TH-cam comment as it automatically gets deleted. Is there another way I can reach you?
Small hint, there is a MX612E H-bridge motor driver that could be used in this build. It is small and uses only 2 pins for control (forward and backward PWM duty signals)
I think it would be cool to create a small kit with all the electronics (maybe something simpler) as a STEM project for young people. My 12 yr old niece would enjoy learning through a project like that - she loves my FPV drones.
First of all, I would appreciate that at what scale you have made is really great and brilliant. And secondly about the giveaway you told, I would make an realistic robotic bird and place the ESP32 S3 cam board on it for capturing the video by replacing the normal antenna with a high gain antenna for long range. This project would be used for military purposes or some tech enthusiasts which want to keep track of the bird's lifestyle and despite being small, it can be fitted in other robotic dummy animals too. To monitor their behavior, their life, etc. for educational purposes only.

I wonder how much footage (video) you made, and what was left in the end! You managed to make a very nice video out of it, very relaxing to watch at.
With the XIAO ESP32S3 my idea would be to build a motion detector. It would go outside my house, hidden. Reason for this is that from time to time we get visitors (surely cats, but I also suspect dogs) who do their heavy job in front of our door. I tried using an old phone and an app, but I only got some vague shots. Perhaps I.R. light is part of the solution, I am not sure if that cam module can use I.R. light, but I expect it can.
Most of the recorded footage was when the camera was running from the car being left turned on, not recording anything really while I was testing it and making adjustments (the camera automatically records a clip when movement is detected).

This is what I needed to see. Absolutely love the intricacy of what you're doing and how simple you make it look.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
I would make a security cam with the XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, from you master esp32 MJPEG2SD tutorial..

surprised this doesn't have 1 mill+ views,hope it blows up💪
Thanks for your comment. Every interaction helps this video reach the TH-cam homepage 💪
I love this type of project ❤
your the best..today..tomorrow somebody else... very well done, good content,
I appreciate that!
Mighty impressive! Great Job, Max!
Thanks a lot, Cerise! 😃
@@MaxImagination You're welcome Max! I looked back at a few of your older videos! In just 5 years of knowing you, I've seen you grown into such an intelligent young man. Very proud of you and what you're doing!
Your race footage is exhilarating! How do you think 3D modeling and printing can push the boundaries of RC car performance and design?
Thanks! A 3D designed version of this car would most certainly make for more precise moving parts while keeping everything more compact.
Thank you! 3D printing this car would surely make it more solid and steer accurately. Plus, it'd add more space having its design optimized more.
Oh what a great video i love it!
I'm glad you like it Thanks
I'm 14 years old and i love your projects.... l would make a FBV ship because l love to go to sea. thank you for your video
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Nice work with the organisation and a really good project
Thank you! Cheers!
We're going to start seeing these cars on Aliexpress soon, thanks for providing the instructions.
You're welcome :)
I can't find any proper vide to make a mini rc car but you make a full detail video on this with a inbuild fpv camera & specifically programing part which i like most I did not have all this modules to make it because I am a student but I will definitely make this in future
Thanks for making video for us 😊
the fact that this didnt hit a Million+ views is criminal.
It deserves it! 😉
channels underrated
An HO or 1:43 scale slot car (even the super cheap ones) would make a great starting platform for a project like this! Keep the guide pin(s) and (optionally) traction magnets, and you could run POV on track layouts (with or without power at the rail). Very cool!
(Would be cool to integrate a Wii-nunchuck-based wireless controller …)
See also: old Tyco/Ideal Command and Control cars (70’s-80’s), Tyco TCR (80’s-90’s), and similar era “slot less” cars which have crude steering mechanisms for lane switching on 3-wire (per lane) slot less track … could be another good platform for this project, on or off it’s original track!
Thanks for your heap of insight on small cars. That would be cool to try!
"DREAM COMES TRUE"
Congratulations 🎉Max for a successful project and You made the impossible one posible with your hard work and Consistency, with a mind of "NEVER GIVE UP"👏
HIGHLIGHTS: PRO EDITING AND WITH COOL DRIFT SCENES
If i get a chance to win the giveaway i would make a Spy pocket Camera or A home security camera with motion detection feature!
Have a great weekend Buddy 😁🤝
Kumar, thank you so much for your kind words!
Consistency and utmost dedication is definitely key to any form of success...
Cool ideas, I will collect your giveaway entry!
Enjoy your weekend too and I wish you a productive week ahead, buddy 😁🤝
@@MaxImagination thank you buddy 😁
Very nice! I have two recommendations though:
Remove the C3 chip and smash the video and controller servers together, and you now have space for more battery capacity. And since the car will only be able to drive forward, you can just remove the IC, and control the motor with analogWrite(); function, and even more space for battery!
Good ideas, will consider making those changes if I choose to make an upgraded version of this car. Cheers.
Well done max I suggest that those CAM modules would be a best fit for a security cameras system due to the relatively low cost
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Copper wire (0.5 / 0.25mm ) would be too soft for that steering arms desing? or in this scale could work too?
That would be too soft for any wire part that makes up the tiny steering mechanism. I advise you to use 0.5-0.75mm steel wire for this application.
Hi Max! Thanks for sharing!
With the XIAO ESP32 I would make a reading meter for my hot water usage and try to improve my water consumption. Thanks!
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Maybe try a micro rc pape4 plane while using that seedstudio board as fpv , it's pretty easy to do if you consider differential thrust only with 2 motors. I can help you with that.
Thanks for the idea! Sounds like something that might work, if the paper plane is big enough to carry all of the parts.
Great project! Amazing how much you could fit in such a tight space.
Thank you! 😊
What my wife never said to me
For clarification, is the seeeduino esp32 being used only as video transfer while the esp32 c3 is used for the controls transfer, and theyre completely independent apart from power?
Exactly!
@@MaxImagination Thank you! Also, for converting the motor, how did you get the extended shaft? I couldn't figure this out..
The thumbnail got me crazy
Hi Max,
I adore every aspect the XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense.
I'd love to make a wearable glass out of its small form factor that can record the sign language of the person across from you and then transcript it into text so you can read it and talk back to him. According to me, the XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense is the ideal microcontroller for my project as its compaq size, low power consumption thus extremely suitable for smart glasses projects. My idea is to connect people who disabled in some aspects to the fast-developed community.
I also think that XIAO community is really looking eager to a truly wearable device that utilize all the power of this tiny board.

this is really cool! if I had one, I would likely create a drone with the ESP32 and camera module, and kinda use inspiration from your own drones and this project’s controls.
u are very talented, thank u for a great video! :)
Hello there. Many thanks for your kind comment! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
@@MaxImagination please keep making good videos! post whenever, it’s your channel, and I’m always happy to see your creations whenever! Btw do u have degree in Comp Sci or CompE? It’s interesting how u have knowledge on creation of tech
Thank you! Will keep posting as much as I can manage to create... I don't have a degree, I simply studied topics in my field on the internet.
@@MaxImagination Interesting! Would also love to see a video about how u learned stuff like this online, like the multitude of resources and online learning tools u used! But ofc, post when u can!
this is amazing, i had some ideas for how it could be made better, but i want to preface them by saying i would have done the same or worse if i didn't have this video to learn from
1. a custom board with all the components, even the esp32 chip (the esp8266 might be better if we aren't using bluetooth since it still has wifi) could be directly integrated
2. the esp32 is acting as a webserver, but you could absolutely change the html sent to the phone device to be split screen.
still super cool
Thank you for your kind comment and advice. I will consider that! Cheers.
Mate you energy is absolutely awesome- love this channel ✊🤗
Glad you like the content! Thanks so much!

I would really like to use the XIAO ESP32S3 to capture the onboard flight of the rocket I’m working on 😊
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
make one but as a mini plane
the hardwork and the small scale details are just mind baffling
Hey Max, I am really impressed by your project. I will definitely try to make it.
Go for it! Thanks for watching!
Its been a while since I watched a real 'tutorial' about something, much appreciated 🙌
Remided me of old days
I appreciate your comment. Cheers!
Brilliant work, Max! Really well done!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for your comment, MC! Have a nice weekend. 😃
Hi Max, your project is great, I want to ask that can I use xiao esp32c3 instead and can I made it non-fpv with this code, thank you.
Hi there. Yes, you can.
thank you@@MaxImagination
I will use this Xiao ESP32 S3 camera module in my DIY ESP8266 Wi-Fi drone. Please send this to me please.
Love you from India ❤.

I’ve built a mini Rc plane slow flying only 40 cm wing span based on arduino nano and NRF module. Before it did have camera but 5 days ago when I saw your video I’ve immediately decided to add mini camera and ordered the XIAO ESP323 Sense .Also very nice build will wait for some other builds . Also bad thing that I can’t add a picture of the Rc plane .
Wow, that sounds like a fun project... Thank you for watching!
This is really challenging project but you done it very well hat's off for your work specially for micro electronics everything is perfectly fitted & doing great job. Keep rocking max with a such great work
Many thanks for your kind and noticing comment, my friend! Will do 👍😃
I am currently working on pipeline inspection robot and i can use ESP32 S3 Module for live transmission of video data as it also has live video recording. It is also compact in size so that i can use it in smaller robots for smaller diameter pipelines. As it also has inbuilt wifi and bluetooth connectivity so i can easily view the video data on the locally hosted webserver.
I was basically thinking of caddex ratel 2 or foxeer cam modules and a tbs vtx and a tbs triumb pro antenna for longer range but this is more costly
ESP32 S3 is great alternative for this
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
If I had a XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, then I would make a Tiny Flight Controller my RC Plane to stabilise the plane during flight using an mpu6050, and also capture images during the flight from the sky. I would also add more sensors such as bmp180 for altitude measurement and transmit it or log it onto the board. Making the flight controller from the XIAO ESP32S3 Sense will prove very good due to its tiny size and less weight.
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
With ESP32S3, i will try to make an augmented reality based + hand gesture controlled home automation project.
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
As always an amazing demonstration of innovation and creativity Max, on the other hand I would create a miniature rover with AI integration that would serve as a security drone with the Xiao esp32s3 sense

Great project! With the XIAO ESP32S3 I would build a robotic arm with object recognition that could help me with varous projects.
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Another cool Idea with the Esp32 camera could be like designing a small device like a spiderbot, which could stick to any surface , and would also contain a miniature proximity sensor that would allow it to move away if someone tries to remove it from its place. 😊 Really love your content BTW . keep inspiring creators like us !
Hello there. Thanks for your kind comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
All i can say is wow and would love to be able to build one! And maybe next time you could add a wireless charging garage :)
Thanks for your kind comment and tip, there! A wireless charging garage would certainly be a nice addition to this DIY RC Hot Wheels car.
Great use of this tiny board! With the XIAO ESP32S3 I would make a model rocket flight computer that will log accelerometer and barometer data in real time on the SD card so that it can be analysed later, record onboard video of the flights with the camera sticking out the rocket, as well as automatically deploying the parachute by detecting launchches/apogee. I’ve been wanting to make this project for a while so the ESP32S3 board would be perfect!!
I also want to try doing the same thing but i need the esp32 to record the video
Which i still cant do now
Thanks for your comment, your giveaway entry has been added 👍
That’s soo cool! BPS space has made that and I also want to but I don’t know how to make a flight computer :(

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!
Congratulations on the project, you are very smart boy, greetings from Brazil. 🇧🇷
Thank you! Cheers!
Great effort Max . Appreciate your work.❤
Thank you! Cheers ❤
Small hint, there is a MX612E H-bridge motor driver that could be used in this build.
It is small and uses only 2 pins for control (forward and backward PWM duty signals)
Thanks for the tip, I have already upgraded the car with a tiny dual channel motor driver, using one channel.
Your hard work payed off Max. It is fun watching your videos.
Thank you for watching and your kindness!
I think it would be cool to create a small kit with all the electronics (maybe something simpler) as a STEM project for young people. My 12 yr old niece would enjoy learning through a project like that - she loves my FPV drones.
From my channel, I'd love to provide something as such, kits are really a fun of learning. Maybe in the near future! Cheers.
First of all, I would appreciate that at what scale you have made is really great and brilliant.
And secondly about the giveaway you told, I would make an realistic robotic bird and place the ESP32 S3 cam board on it for capturing the video by replacing the normal antenna with a high gain antenna for long range. This project would be used for military purposes or some tech enthusiasts which want to keep track of the bird's lifestyle and despite being small, it can be fitted in other robotic dummy animals too. To monitor their behavior, their life, etc. for educational purposes only.
