      Hey guys,

      I am in a search of capacitive touch sensors. The functionalities I'm aiming at are

      The capacitive touch should be able to recognize up, down and sideways slides on the Grid. Has anyone used the this type of module? If yes please do suggest me. Thanks in advance...!!

        This can be done using captive grid. You can buy a touch pad
        https://www.arrow.com/en/products/dm160219/microchip-technology?gclid=Cj0KCQjwmdzzBRC7ARIsANdqRRnOu-n2vJtXa6VRqepktBLdxhyTriIVXNe2ZSHokhzs4U3je6cburkaAqk9EALw_wcB
        or you can make your own PAD

        please refer 13th page of this documentation.
        if you like to make one MPR121 is a nice choice

            @Akhil Thanks. I am not in a state to design my own capacitive touch so I am going with already made modules. But the one which you have posted is too very expensive for my application. Are there any other modules that are a bit more cheaper.

              Hey @kowshik1729, why don't you use a five of the touch keys(shown below), form them up in the shape of a cross and get the sequential data across two of those sensors to detect a left/right or up/down swipe?

                  @kowshik1729 That is also Nice idea, If you want only Up,Down, Left, Right movements then try this method suggested by @SuperGops

                    Signal Hunt: An ESP-NOW Workshop & Treasure Hunt

                    Hello everyone! We’re planning on organizing a two-phase event that explores device-to-device communication using ESP-NOW protocol :

                    Workshop: Participants learn to build and program ESP32-based receivers with a web interface that directly exchange signal data using ESP-NOW for RSSI-based distance approximation.

                    Signal Hunt Competition: Equipped with these receivers, participants will track hidden ESP32 transmitters scattered around the campus, each with distinct point values.

                    Current hardware setup:
                    Reciever(one per team):
                    Esp32 ~ 360rs
                    9v battery = 20rs
                    9v battery clip= 5rs
                    buck converter (MP1584 or LM2596) ~ 45rs
                    Perfboard + male to female berg strip ~30rs
                    Total per reciever ~ 460rs
                    Transmitters :6
                    Components same as recievers = 460*6~2760rs

                    (using non-rechargeable batteries to reduce cost,
                    will using a 7805 voltage regulator IC be a viable way to reduce cost further?)

                    We’d love your suggestions on ways to simplify hardware, reducing the cost, secure partnerships and funding, or enhance the interactive elements. Thank you, looking forward to any ideas that can help make the event engaging and successful!

                    So today, I was reading about a kid who got a custom prosthetic arm printed like really. Holly molly! People are printing prosthetics nowadays! That’s when I stumbled upon Curewith3D, and wow, 3D printing in healthcare is on another level.

                    Apparently, I found out that they’re not just 3d printing limbs. They actually use patient-specific scans (like CT/MRI data) and some DICOM files to design prosthetics that fit the person’s body perfectly. Every angle, curve, and dimension is matched to the individual. No more bulky or uncomfortable fits.

                    What’s wild is how fast and affordable the process is. Instead of traditional molds and weeks of waiting, Curewith3D can design, print, and deliver a customized prosthetic in a fraction of the time.

                    I didn’t know 3D printing services could be this life-changing, and it's happening right here in India. It really makes you wonder what else we’re going to be printing next.

                    Anyone else heard of this or know someone who’s used a 3D printed prosthetic? Would love to hear more.

                    I am trying to set up a janus webrtc to stream an RTSP to an HTML page.
                    I have followed the getting-started steps by Janus-gateway official github repo.

                    Since I am new to web development. I do not understand how to host the Webrtc server. can anyone guide me to set up an HTML page that can display a video stream from an RTSP server using janus webrtc?

                  • @zainmuhammed Can try capturing the GPS when the device is starting the loop instead after joining the LoRaWAN and see?

                    You can put the GPS value on top of the loop or setup function.

                    Also, what kind of gateway are you using? Is it configured okay, OTA is done?
