The ESP32 reads an ultrasonic distance sensor and two light-dependent resistors to detect obstacles and ambient light, hosts its own REST API on local WiFi, and serves real-time JSON data. Any client—laptop, smartphone, or another microcontroller—can query the stick’s endpoints and build custom auditory or haptic feedback. It’s an accessibility project that combines embedded sensing, networking, and API design in one intermediate build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA compact prototyping circuit that mounts an HC-SR04 distance sensor, an LDR pair, and a DHT22 onto a breadboard.
