Gesture-Controlled Car

An IMU glove commanding a car over ESP-NOW

No pairing, no router, no broker, ESP-NOW puts the glove and the car on the same link and nothing else is in the way.

What it does

The glove reads orientation and packs it into a small binary frame. ESP-NOW carries it without an access point or a pairing step, which is the reason latency stays inside a frame.

Limitations and failure modes

  • Bench project. No failsafe, losing the link does not stop the car.
