Neural Style Transfer Digital Canvas Kit with ESP32 + MPU6050
Build a Neural Style Transfer Digital Canvas – Powered by ESP32 and MPU6050
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform sensor data into captivating generative artwork displayed on a vivid 3.5-inch TFT screen. The ESP32 runs a TensorFlow Lite model to apply neural style transfer in real time, while the MPU6050 gyroscope/accelerometer lets you control the art with motion. This kit turns a digital canvas into an interactive AI art installation — no cloud, no latency, just edge intelligence.
What You'll Build
A standalone digital canvas that generates ever-evolving art. Point the device at a sound source, tilt it, or let it sample ambient audio, and watch as a pre-trained style model transforms spectral patterns into painterly visuals. Display modes cycle automatically based on time of day (via the DS3231 RTC) or respond to gesture inputs. The result is a living art piece that reacts to your environment.
What You'll Learn
- Deploy a TensorFlow Lite neural style transfer model on an ESP32 microcontroller
- Integrate MPU6050 motion data to control visual rendering parameters
- Interface a high-resolution SPI TFT display (ILI9488) and manage frame buffers
- Assemble and solder a mixed-signal circuit on a prototype board with stable power regulation

Who This Kit Is For
Advanced hobbyists, B.Tech ECE/EEE/CSE students working on AIoT projects, and artists exploring computational creativity. Participants in Smart India Hackathon building interactive installations will find ready‑to‑extend hardware. Research scholars at IITs, NITs, VIT, and BITS Pilani demonstrating edge AI can use this as a platform. This kit bridges the gap between machine learning theory and tangible, expressive art.
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?
Open the AI companion (web via QR) or send a photo on WhatsApp — our support team will help you within hours.
Does the kit include the pre-trained style model?
Yes, a curated style model is loaded on the SD card and flashed onto the ESP32. You can also train your own style using the provided Colab notebook and replace the model file.
Can I display my own images or style on the canvas?
The canvas takes input from the microphone spectrogram or motion patterns; it doesn't import static images. However, you can replace the style model on the SD card with any TensorFlow Lite style transfer model you train.
Do I need any additional software tools?
The kit includes pre-flashed firmware. For modifications, we provide complete Arduino IDE project files and a Python training script. All dependencies are documented in the build guide.
