Decimal: A 3D-Printed ESP32-CAM Robot for Remote Monitoring

Decimal is a Wi-Fi-controlled robot I built for monitoring my surroundings, whether it's the floor, my desk, or any other area I'm in. My goal was to create a robot that could navigate these spaces while providing a live video feed from its perspective. Not only is this a fun project, but it's also incredibly practical.

I designed Decimal to resemble my other robot, Digit, with a matching color scheme and antennae to maintain a cohesive aesthetic. The design process was fairly quick, but I added some thoughtful features, like built-in magnets, to easily attach clothing or access internal components for troubleshooting.

Below, you’ll find the wiring diagram for the Xiao ESP32-CAM board.

To get the system running, you'll need to edit the code to include your own Wi-Fi credentials. Once connected, the robot will provide an IP address, allowing you to control it remotely and view its video feed.
