ESP32-S3 Compact Edge AI Badge Kit with ESP32 + MPU6050
ESP32-S3 Compact Edge AI Badge Kit — Train a Wearable That Recognizes Your Gestures
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
You’ll assemble a shirt-pocket AI badge that learns your hand movements—a wave, a thumbs-up, a fist—and shows the recognized gesture on a bright OLED screen. Powered by an ESP32-S3 running a neural network trained with Edge Impulse, this wearable reads motion data from the MPU6050 accelerometer-gyroscope. Clip it to the included lanyard and demo real-time edge AI at your next school science exhibition or hackathon.
What You'll Build
A personalized AI badge that classifies three custom gestures, a rechargeable device that runs for hours on a 500mAh LiPo cell, and a reprogrammable TinyML platform you can extend to new gestures or applications right from your pocket.
What You'll Learn
- Training a motion classifier using Edge Impulse and exporting a quantized model
- Deploying TensorFlow Lite Micro on an ESP32-S3 for real-time inference
- Reading and calibrating 6-axis IMU data from the MPU6050 over I2C
- Assembling a compact wearable with soldering, OLED integration, and LiPo power management

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11–12 students building AI practicals, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates prototyping for Smart India Hackathon, and ATL Tinkering Lab teams eager to learn edge inference. Also perfect for NIT, VIT, or BITS Pilani students who need a wearable TinyML demo that stands out.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to chat with our AI companion, which walks you through each soldering joint and code upload. For extra help, message us on WhatsApp.
Do I need experience with Edge Impulse?
None required. The kit provides pre-trained gesture models and a step-by-step guide; you can also remix the project and train your own gestures on Edge Impulse’s free cloud platform.
Can I use this badge in a science exhibition or hackathon?
Yes, it’s an ideal Smart India Hackathon hardware entry or CBSE AI project. The wearable form factor and real-time classification grab attention instantly.
Is soldering required?
You’ll solder the MPU6050, OLED, and supporting components onto the prototype boards. The included soldering iron and wire, along with the AI companion’s soldering tips, make it approachable even if you’ve never soldered before.
Edge Impulse model on ESP32-S3 classifies gestures from MPU6050. OLED shows class. Fits in shirt pocket.
