ESP32 Walkie-Talkie Using UDP Broadcast and ESP-Now

In plain words

This project enables two-way radio communication using ESP32 microcontrollers via UDP broadcast and ESP-Now wireless protocols. It is designed for makers and hobbyists interested in building wireless communication devices. The system allows users to transmit and receive voice or data between ESP32 units without relying on cellular networks or internet connectivity. It represents a practical application of ESP32's built-in wireless capabilities for local area communication.

  RF Hunter – Find hidden cameras and other devices2024 · github.com · ▲594

  This project is an RF Signal Scanner built using an ESP32, AD8317 RF detector, and various other components. It's designed to detect and measure RF signals in the environment and display the signal strength on an OLED display. It's useful to find hidden cameras, wiretapping devices, and other RF-enabled devices.

  Tommy – Turn ESP32 devices into through-wall motion sensorsOct 2025 · tommysense.com · ▲110

  Hi HN! I would like to present my project called TOMMY, which turns ESP32 devices into motion sensors that work through walls and obstacles using Wi-Fi sensing. TOMMY started as a project for my own use. I was frustrated with motion sensors that didn't detect stationary presence and left dead zones everywhere. Presence sensors existed but were expensive and needed one per room. I explored echo localization first, but microphones listening 24/7 felt too creepy. Then I discovered Wi-Fi sensing - a huge research topic but nothing production-ready yet. It ticked all the boxes: could…

  I open-sourced my AI toy company that runs on ESP32 and OpenAI realtime2025 · github.com · ▲177

  Hi HN! Last year the project I launched here got a lot of good feedback on creating speech to speech AI on the ESP32. Recently I revamped the whole stack, iterated on that feedback and made our project fully open-source—all of the client, hardware, firmware code. This Github repo turns an ESP32-S3 into a realtime AI speech companion using the OpenAI Realtime API, Arduino WebSockets, Deno Edge Functions, and a full-stack web interface. You can talk to your own custom AI character, and it responds instantly. I couldn't find a resource that helped set up a reliable, secure websocket (WSS) AI…
