WiCAN: Open Source ESP32-C3 CAN Adapter Supporting USB, Wi-Fi and BLE

WiCAN is a powerful CAN adapter based on ESP32-C3 that can be used for car hacking and general CAN bus development. It is available in two form factors: OBD-II and standard USB-CAN. The original firmware can interact directly with RealDash using Wi-Fi or BLE, which allows you to create custom dashboards with beautiful graphics. It is available for Android, iOS, and Windows 10. WiCAN connects to your existing Wi-Fi network and any device on that network, and it allows you to configure Wi-Fi and CAN settings through a built-in web interface. Both versions have a power saving mode that detects when the voltage drops below 13 V or other preset values. When this power saving mode is enabled, WiCAN is able to enter sleep mode, reducing the current consumption to less than 1 mA.

Open source micro-racing car based on ESP32H2, inspired by Mario Kart

This is a fun electronic toy car that features power-ups! The author uses color sensors and magnetic switches to trigger fun tricks like acceleration, deceleration, and rotation. It draws a lot of inspiration from Mario Kart.

After a failed Kickstarter campaign, the author has now open-sourced the software, hardware, and mechanics.

S12ZVH HVAC control with LCD

The aim of the design was to replace the existing mechanical switches for ventilation position, blower speed and temperature control with an interactive LCD based system to extend the life and robustness of the system. The system can handle events via a capacitive touchpad interface (controlled via NXP's proximity capacitive touch sensor controller PT60), an infrared remote control (available for the convenience of rear-seat passengers) or microswitches.
