Gesture Recognition Wand Kit v4
Gesture Recognition Wand Kit v4 – ESP32 WiFi Robot Controlled by Tilt 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.
Imagine moving your hand forward and seeing a robot car race ahead — no joystick, no phone app. That’s exactly what you’ll build with the Gesture Recognition Wand Kit v4. Strap the MPU6050 sensor to your wrist, calibrate the gesture mapping on the ESP32, and watch the second ESP32 on the chassis drive the motors. It's a complete wireless control system you can program and adapt.
What You'll Build
A fully functional gesture-controlled robot car. The wand reads tilt angles from the MPU6050, converts them into movement commands, and sends them over WiFi to the car's ESP32. The car responds instantly, driving forward when you tilt forward, left when you tilt left, and stopping when you hold your hand flat. It’s a tangible introduction to wireless sensor networks and motion-based control.
What You'll Learn
- Interface MPU6050 IMU with ESP32 and read accelerometer/gyroscope data
- Map tilt angles to discrete movement commands for a robot
- Establish WiFi communication between two ESP32 boards using UDP or WebSocket
- Drive DC motors with an L298N motor driver and manage battery power

Who This Kit Is For
Built for students aged 15–18 who want hands-on experience with wireless sensor networks. Perfect for CBSE Class 11–12 physics and computer science projects, B.Tech first-year ECE/EEE mini projects, ATL Tinkering Lab activities, and anyone prepping for hackathons like Smart India Hackathon. If you understand basic Arduino programming and want to move to WiFi and IMU sensors, this is your launchpad.
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 on the box to start a chat with your AI companion, which knows every step of this kit. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for a quick answer from our team.
Can I modify the gesture mapping to add more commands?
Yes, the provided code is open-source and easily editable to recognize custom gestures like stop, rotate, or speed control based on tilt intensity.
Do I need to solder anything?
No, all connections use jumper wires and pre-soldered pins. You can assemble the circuit directly on the chassis or with a breadboard.
Will this work with a different chassis or motors later?
Absolutely. The ESP32 and L298N motor driver can handle any DC motors up to 12V, so you can upgrade to a 4WD platform or a larger robot base.
Gesture — MPU6050 on wrist detects tilt gestures — ESP32 maps gestures to forward, backward, left, right robot commands over WiFi.
