Hi Max, Whilst the majority of the things you build are way beyond what I can do (old age = bad eyesight and shaky hands), I have to say your skillset is amazing... Thank you for sharing these videos with us, please keep up the splendid work... All the very best... Andy...
Dude, thats insane!!! If making an RC hotwheel isn’t hard enough, you made an FPV version and designed your own parts which has gotta be 5x harder than my project 🤯🤯🤯 And you did it within 1 1/2 months??? And you soldered all those wires??? 😵 Congrats man, I gotta give it to you, you’re an inspiration to all of us ❤🎉
Thank you so much for your kind and supportive comment, Aaron! Loved the work you did on converting your own Hot Wheels car! So cool to be in touch with another maker with common interests. Yep, one and a half months was what it took to make it, seemed like a while, but was well worth it in the end :) Much appreciated... 😊 Max
I was gonna buy some of these little cameras to make a multi-sensored security system for my house considering the activities in my area have been kinda sussy lately. This XIAO ESP32S3 sense would do perfectly!
So I’m 15 right now, ever since I watched Iron man I’ve been like really fascinated with this type of stuff. Like it’s something I enjoy doing. So there’s a lake nearby my house and some people say there are alligators and all there, so i could use XIAO ESP32S3 for my submarine that I’ll make since it’s wifi enabled and has an SD option, I could explore and map the whole lake and shoot videos. I would include revival system for my submarine Incase it goes out of range and much more. maybe I would find an alligator or something interesting or maybe some treasure! But to be honest I don’t really know much about electronics or programming and all this, like with school I barely get time to actually have an understanding of this which would be so cool since I would be able to make anything I want. But as of now, I’m just a kid who wants to build cool stuff but doesn’t know how to. It would be really kind of u if u can tell me how u started with all this and learnt it. Thank you so much for reading this, I really like your videos and hope to see more coool projects!
Radio waves dont go through water very well, maybe use sonar to control it somehow? Or have a base station on the surface of the water where the esp32 will be?
Just keep going when I heard your story it made a smile on my face and keep going because as I hear it now you are really good and it is impressive keep going!
As a maker, I saw that you really spent a lot of time and effort for this project. I really appreciate it! I was surprised that you used 2 microcontrollers instead of one, I think that is a disadvantage. Recently I made my own esp8266 wifi car, and soon I will make esp32 cam wifi car. it would be awesome! Follow the channel, I will publish it as a video. And again, I was amazed by your skills. You never stopped even though you came across obstacles. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for your kind comment and time for noticing my efforts. I am thinking of upgrading it to have both web servers run on the one camera microcontroller in the future. I had to resort to using 2 of them as I was running out of time for figuring out that task. I'll definitely sub to your channel and see what you have to post! Cheers!
For the directional slider, I think it would be nice to give it a joystick behaviour, since its html and css, you could just make the function of adding the slider value to the endpoint to be called when the joystick is being hold. When it reads the "MouseUp" function, the slider goes back to 0 (maybe it needs to do it smoothly, idk if making it instantly go to 0 will work well). Like that it will feel more like a real controller, that is more intuitive. Could also do it for the forward and backwards slider, but I guess its not that needed.
Great work! I would love to have more Xiao ESP32-S3 Sense boards to build a sensor network with camera capabilities for monitoring plants. I have already made one using LoRa boards, which had several sensors connected. However, I believe that the small size and lower power consumption of the Xiao ESP32-S3 are more suitable for this type of project. Additionally, having a camera would allow me to analyze the data and also see how the plant is doing under those conditions. The idea is to help local producers by offering an affordable monitoring system.
Great idea and implementation! I would use an ESP32-S3 for one of my projects I am working on Right now. Either as a camera object and Face recognition implementation for my diy Smart glasses (/augumented Reality glasses) Or put it in my diy Iron Man helmet as an additional camera to Improve the object detection which will be displayed on the helmets HUD.
Soldering the parts was so Amazing, I wish i could do that expert thing. Thank you sir @MaxImagination for giving me an idea for a project that I can make as a gift for my child this coming Christmas. GREAT!
That's an awesome project! I enjoy seeing the challenges it presents. Currently, I'm working on a project to measure the pH and EC in my hydroponic NFT system. If I were to get an XIAO ESP32S3 camera, I would use it to create a time-lapse of the system, allowing me to observe the growth of my plants.
Great Videos Max! I am in the process of building an automated food dispenser for my guinea pigs. I often go on little trips for 1-2 days, so having a way to make sure my guineas are fed is crucial. Aside from having family check in, I would use the XIAO ESP32S3 camera to remotely monitor their pellets and to ensure the food dispenser is operating properly.
Hi Max! I am going to make a few projects, currently I’m working on a F22 jet and an indoor mini hot wheels car just like this video! Having fpv would be great and these cameras look perfect!
Hey, great project! With the Xiao esp camera, I would add video surveilance of my house to another project I'm currently working on, a circular TFT screen that sits on my desk, and shows general information, like a clock, what my spotify is doing, and upcoming events in my google calendar. It would be really cool to get it to show a live camera feed from the module.
This just shows how far we have come... I had a micro rc got way back for my birthday from toys r us smaller than this but minus camera ... My brother broke it because i didnt want to let him play with it... i was sure he was going to break it...and he did...
Bro!!! this is one of the coolest things i've seen. Because of you i am now getting into building an RC car with my son. please continue the great work.
First of all amazing build. Im going to make a small city and 4 cars with the XIAO ESP like yours and drive around drifting with my friends. I was looking for a long time for a camera that small.
Woow! since I was a child I wished there was such a small remote controlled car, I am very happy to know that someone has done this! I will try for sure! I'm working on a project, it's a kind of remote controlled submarine and an esp32 would be ideal for that! Btw thank you for the videos, keep it up!
Thank you, Benjamin! Wish I could help you with your project, but the giveaway had already closed on the day you made your comment. Winners were announced on the community tab. Thank you again, cheers! Best of luck with your own projects!
I can't find any proper vide to make a mini rc car but you make a full detail video on this with a inbuild fpv camera & specifically programing part which i like most I did not have all this modules to make it because I am a student but I will definitely make this in future Thanks for making video for us 😊
your videos are bringing life to my childhood engineering dreams! i used to open any electronics i could get my hands on and try to replicate it to understand about thier workings, and i litereally used to buuild retro custom version of my electronic toys and RC cars!
Another cool Idea with the Esp32 camera could be like designing a small device like a spiderbot, which could stick to any surface , and would also contain a miniature proximity sensor that would allow it to move away if someone tries to remove it from its place. 😊 Really love your content BTW . keep inspiring creators like us !
Truly magnificent project and execution! Just when I thought nothing more could be fit in there, you managed to fit two ESP32s and a camera... woah! Congratulations for all the troubleshooting you sure had to endure for this ❤
I wonder how much footage (video) you made, and what was left in the end! You managed to make a very nice video out of it, very relaxing to watch at. With the XIAO ESP32S3 my idea would be to build a motion detector. It would go outside my house, hidden. Reason for this is that from time to time we get visitors (surely cats, but I also suspect dogs) who do their heavy job in front of our door. I tried using an old phone and an app, but I only got some vague shots. Perhaps I.R. light is part of the solution, I am not sure if that cam module can use I.R. light, but I expect it can.
Most of the recorded footage was when the camera was running from the car being left turned on, not recording anything really while I was testing it and making adjustments (the camera automatically records a clip when movement is detected). Thanks for your comment, your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Man this is even harder than building a fpv drone, making the tiny parts is a heck of a task, and let's say i use the front motor as a sole steering system just by attaching it on mid top of the wheels, to refuse that miniature steering mechanism, it's still a big to make this car a fpv one
Great use of this tiny board! With the XIAO ESP32S3 I would make a model rocket flight computer that will log accelerometer and barometer data in real time on the SD card so that it can be analysed later, record onboard video of the flights with the camera sticking out the rocket, as well as automatically deploying the parachute by detecting launchches/apogee. I’ve been wanting to make this project for a while so the ESP32S3 board would be perfect!!
🎉🎉 Congratulations @maelstudi0 ! You've won the GIVEAWAY of the XIAO ESP32S3 Sense! To claim your prize, please reply to me with your email address and I will send you instructions on how to get the XIAO camera sent to you. 🎉🎉
@@MaxImagination Hello Max. Thanks a lot! I cannot send you my email address through a RUclips comment as it automatically gets deleted. Is there another way I can reach you?
Very nice! I have two recommendations though: Remove the C3 chip and smash the video and controller servers together, and you now have space for more battery capacity. And since the car will only be able to drive forward, you can just remove the IC, and control the motor with analogWrite(); function, and even more space for battery!
This is really challenging project but you done it very well hat's off for your work specially for micro electronics everything is perfectly fitted & doing great job. Keep rocking max with a such great work
As always an amazing demonstration of innovation and creativity Max, on the other hand I would create a miniature rover with AI integration that would serve as a security drone with the Xiao esp32s3 sense
Amazing job! One thing to consider, the antennas you made if I'm not mistaken are just coaxial wire, which is basically the same as not having antenna at all. You need to leave the inner wire exposed 1/4 or 1/8 of wavelength of the frequency you are using.
Thank you, Andres! Big fan of you, I've been watching your amazing drone content since 2022! Okay. I would probably understand that better if I saw it. By any chance, could you send me a link to a video that shows that? Thanks
@@MaxImagination the antenna is made of two bits, the rectangular bit at the end is the actual antenna. The wire from the connector to the rectangle is coaxial wire, meaning it is a wire with a shield around it. Essentially there is a wire within a metal tube, the metal tube is grounded meaning the wire has less interference and doesn’t work like an antenna, same idea as metal shields around RF components, like the ESP32 modules themselves. Then when it gets to the end rectangle only the centre wire is connected to the actual antenna. Your solution likely worked because you probably soldered the shield to the antenna trace, essentially making the shield the antenna. Antennas are very complicated things, it isn’t advisable to just go cutting them up especially when you don’t know how they work.
@@MaxImagination You're welcome Max! I looked back at a few of your older videos! In just 5 years of knowing you, I've seen you grown into such an intelligent young man. Very proud of you and what you're doing!
Small hint, there is a MX612E H-bridge motor driver that could be used in this build. It is small and uses only 2 pins for control (forward and backward PWM duty signals)
I think it would be cool to create a small kit with all the electronics (maybe something simpler) as a STEM project for young people. My 12 yr old niece would enjoy learning through a project like that - she loves my FPV drones.
"DREAM COMES TRUE" Congratulations 🎉Max for a successful project and You made the impossible one posible with your hard work and Consistency, with a mind of "NEVER GIVE UP"👏 HIGHLIGHTS: PRO EDITING AND WITH COOL DRIFT SCENES If i get a chance to win the giveaway i would make a Spy pocket Camera or A home security camera with motion detection feature! Have a great weekend Buddy 😁🤝
Kumar, thank you so much for your kind words! Consistency and utmost dedication is definitely key to any form of success... Cool ideas, I will collect your giveaway entry! Enjoy your weekend too and I wish you a productive week ahead, buddy 😁🤝
@@MaxImaginationok my project idea is I want to make a drone in which this esp23s3 cam module is fixed so that we can assess the video of the position where drone is present.this type of drone is used for military purpose to know how many troops are present at enemy camps .
this is really cool! if I had one, I would likely create a drone with the ESP32 and camera module, and kinda use inspiration from your own drones and this project’s controls. u are very talented, thank u for a great video! :)
@@MaxImagination please keep making good videos! post whenever, it’s your channel, and I’m always happy to see your creations whenever! Btw do u have degree in Comp Sci or CompE? It’s interesting how u have knowledge on creation of tech
@@MaxImagination Interesting! Would also love to see a video about how u learned stuff like this online, like the multitude of resources and online learning tools u used! But ofc, post when u can!
this is amazing, i had some ideas for how it could be made better, but i want to preface them by saying i would have done the same or worse if i didn't have this video to learn from 1. a custom board with all the components, even the esp32 chip (the esp8266 might be better if we aren't using bluetooth since it still has wifi) could be directly integrated 2. the esp32 is acting as a webserver, but you could absolutely change the html sent to the phone device to be split screen. still super cool
Bro I don't know if you remember me but I asked some info about 18650 batteries on your battery pack building video for your scooter and you gave me some useful info on that. I ended up building my own battery pack and my own Frame design for an e bike and completed the build from scratch . I was in the local news for building it too. So thanks a lot for your help and keep up the great work 🌝
Maybe try a micro rc pape4 plane while using that seedstudio board as fpv , it's pretty easy to do if you consider differential thrust only with 2 motors. I can help you with that.
I love making things, and this looks like such a fun project! Also, actually using it would make me want to throw up immediately from motion sickness lol..
Thank you! On average, they can take from 2 weeks to up to a month (normally). This one was an exception due to the difficulties I faced and the importance in completing it. Cheers.
Great idea Max.... even I wanted to make a FPV car or drone, so thanks for the video as I started researching, here in India FPV drones are way too expensive...so I was thinking just buying any simple drone using this module I can easily make one for myself
VIDEO IDEA, i love all your videos and i am suggesting you revisit flying wings with and FPV wing that uses the ESP32 cam and streams over internet (cellura data) for unlimited range. I hope i win one of those.

@@MaxImagination Hello Max. Thanks a lot! I cannot send you my email address through a RUclips comment as it automatically gets deleted. Is there another way I can reach you?
Very nice! I have two recommendations though:
Remove the C3 chip and smash the video and controller servers together, and you now have space for more battery capacity. And since the car will only be able to drive forward, you can just remove the IC, and control the motor with analogWrite(); function, and even more space for battery!
Good ideas, will consider making those changes if I choose to make an upgraded version of this car. Cheers.
Well done max I suggest that those CAM modules would be a best fit for a security cameras system due to the relatively low cost
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
surprised this doesn't have 1 mill+ views,hope it blows up💪
Thanks for your comment. Every interaction helps this video reach the RUclips homepage 💪
Hey Max, I am really impressed by your project. I will definitely try to make it.
Go for it! Thanks for watching!
We're going to start seeing these cars on Aliexpress soon, thanks for providing the instructions.
You're welcome :)
I would make a security cam with the XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, from you master esp32 MJPEG2SD tutorial..
Thanks for your comment, your giveaway entry has been added 👍
the hardwork and the small scale details are just mind baffling
Great project! Amazing how much you could fit in such a tight space.
Thank you! 😊
What my wife never said to me
Literally what I thought of making, the first time I saw the xiao board
channels underrated
your the best..today..tomorrow somebody else... very well done, good content,
I appreciate that!
Your hard work payed off Max. It is fun watching your videos.
Thank you for watching and your kindness!
This is basically micro machines, this is awesome.
Thanks for watching!
This is really challenging project but you done it very well hat's off for your work specially for micro electronics everything is perfectly fitted & doing great job. Keep rocking max with a such great work
Many thanks for your kind and noticing comment, my friend! Will do 👍😃
This is next level micro hack soldering, I am very impressed 😯
Much appreciated!
Finally the wait is over 🤩
Fabulous video Max 😁
Thank you for your kind support, Sahil! Have a great weekend ✌🏻
This is what I needed to see. Absolutely love the intricacy of what you're doing and how simple you make it look.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.
Nice work with the organisation and a really good project
Thank you! Cheers!
You are amazing. You provided tools supplies and a tutorial for me to build my own car!
Glad to hear you found my video resourceful :) Thank you!
As always an amazing demonstration of innovation and creativity Max, on the other hand I would create a miniature rover with AI integration that would serve as a security drone with the Xiao esp32s3 sense
Hello there. Many thanks for your comment! Cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Amazing job! One thing to consider, the antennas you made if I'm not mistaken are just coaxial wire, which is basically the same as not having antenna at all. You need to leave the inner wire exposed 1/4 or 1/8 of wavelength of the frequency you are using.
Thank you, Andres! Big fan of you, I've been watching your amazing drone content since 2022!
Okay. I would probably understand that better if I saw it. By any chance, could you send me a link to a video that shows that? Thanks
@@MaxImagination the antenna is made of two bits, the rectangular bit at the end is the actual antenna. The wire from the connector to the rectangle is coaxial wire, meaning it is a wire with a shield around it. Essentially there is a wire within a metal tube, the metal tube is grounded meaning the wire has less interference and doesn’t work like an antenna, same idea as metal shields around RF components, like the ESP32 modules themselves. Then when it gets to the end rectangle only the centre wire is connected to the actual antenna.
Your solution likely worked because you probably soldered the shield to the antenna trace, essentially making the shield the antenna. Antennas are very complicated things, it isn’t advisable to just go cutting them up especially when you don’t know how they work.
Mighty impressive! Great Job, Max!
Thanks a lot, Cerise! 😃
@@MaxImagination You're welcome Max! I looked back at a few of your older videos! In just 5 years of knowing you, I've seen you grown into such an intelligent young man. Very proud of you and what you're doing!
Great project! With the XIAO ESP32S3 I would build a robotic arm with object recognition that could help me with varous projects.
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Oh what a great video i love it!
I'm glad you like it Thanks
Small hint, there is a MX612E H-bridge motor driver that could be used in this build.
It is small and uses only 2 pins for control (forward and backward PWM duty signals)
Thanks for the tip, I have already upgraded the car with a tiny dual channel motor driver, using one channel.
Mate you energy is absolutely awesome- love this channel ✊🤗
Glad you like the content! Thanks so much!
@@MaxImagination ✊🤝🤗
Great video. Always wanted to convert a Hot Wheels Porsche RWB into a rc car. That board would also be a brilliant add-on on my orlandoo 1/32 car
Hello there. Thanks for your comment! Porsche RWB is an awesome pick, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
I will use this Xiao ESP32 S3 camera module in my DIY ESP8266 Wi-Fi drone. Please send this to me please.
Love you from India ❤.
Thanks for your comment, your giveaway entry has been added 👍
I think it would be cool to create a small kit with all the electronics (maybe something simpler) as a STEM project for young people. My 12 yr old niece would enjoy learning through a project like that - she loves my FPV drones.
From my channel, I'd love to provide something as such, kits are really a fun of learning. Maybe in the near future! Cheers.
"DREAM COMES TRUE"
Congratulations 🎉Max for a successful project and You made the impossible one posible with your hard work and Consistency, with a mind of "NEVER GIVE UP"👏
HIGHLIGHTS: PRO EDITING AND WITH COOL DRIFT SCENES
If i get a chance to win the giveaway i would make a Spy pocket Camera or A home security camera with motion detection feature!
Have a great weekend Buddy 😁🤝
Kumar, thank you so much for your kind words!
Consistency and utmost dedication is definitely key to any form of success...
Cool ideas, I will collect your giveaway entry!
Enjoy your weekend too and I wish you a productive week ahead, buddy 😁🤝
@@MaxImagination thank you buddy 😁
I'm in engineering 2nd year and I have iot lab at last I have to do a project based on iot so this may help me a lot for my project
Hey, you didn't mention your idea in detail!
@@MaxImaginationok my project idea is I want to make a drone in which this esp23s3 cam module is fixed so that we can assess the video of the position where drone is present.this type of drone is used for military purpose to know how many troops are present at enemy camps .
this is really cool! if I had one, I would likely create a drone with the ESP32 and camera module, and kinda use inspiration from your own drones and this project’s controls.
u are very talented, thank u for a great video! :)
Hello there. Many thanks for your kind comment! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
@@MaxImagination please keep making good videos! post whenever, it’s your channel, and I’m always happy to see your creations whenever! Btw do u have degree in Comp Sci or CompE? It’s interesting how u have knowledge on creation of tech
Thank you! Will keep posting as much as I can manage to create... I don't have a degree, I simply studied topics in my field on the internet.
@@MaxImagination Interesting! Would also love to see a video about how u learned stuff like this online, like the multitude of resources and online learning tools u used! But ofc, post when u can!
this is amazing, i had some ideas for how it could be made better, but i want to preface them by saying i would have done the same or worse if i didn't have this video to learn from
1. a custom board with all the components, even the esp32 chip (the esp8266 might be better if we aren't using bluetooth since it still has wifi) could be directly integrated
2. the esp32 is acting as a webserver, but you could absolutely change the html sent to the phone device to be split screen.
still super cool
Thank you for your kind comment and advice. I will consider that! Cheers.
Brilliant work, Max! Really well done!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for your comment, MC! Have a nice weekend. 😃
Month of Hardwork in A Singke video😮😮😮😮❤❤❤
Great project. Thanks for your effort.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!
Wowwwwww......... The soldering technique.....
Pretty clean, huh? 😉
make one but as a mini plane
you deserve a big salute for this awesome creation
Thank you so much 😀
Bro I don't know if you remember me but I asked some info about 18650 batteries on your battery pack building video for your scooter and you gave me some useful info on that. I ended up building my own battery pack and my own Frame design for an e bike and completed the build from scratch . I was in the local news for building it too. So thanks a lot for your help and keep up the great work 🌝
I do! That's so cool to hear! Congratulations with your project 🎉
Glad I could help and thanks! 😁
Maybe try a micro rc pape4 plane while using that seedstudio board as fpv , it's pretty easy to do if you consider differential thrust only with 2 motors. I can help you with that.
Thanks for the idea! Sounds like something that might work, if the paper plane is big enough to carry all of the parts.
Great effort Max . Appreciate your work.❤
Thank you! Cheers ❤
All i can say is wow and would love to be able to build one! And maybe next time you could add a wireless charging garage :)
Thanks for your kind comment and tip, there! A wireless charging garage would certainly be a nice addition to this DIY RC Hot Wheels car.
I will make an rc eagle by using XIAO ESP32S3
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
I love making things, and this looks like such a fun project! Also, actually using it would make me want to throw up immediately from motion sickness lol..
Such a sick build dude🔥
Thank you, dude! Let's keep rocking with these miniatures 🛹🏎️🔥
This is immensley genius
That’s awesome! Question: how long does your projects take? (In average)
Thank you! On average, they can take from 2 weeks to up to a month (normally). This one was an exception due to the difficulties I faced and the importance in completing it. Cheers.
Love the car, I would use the board to make a remote water pistol turret to try and get rid of the cats that keep coming in my garden haha
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Great idea Max.... even I wanted to make a FPV car or drone, so thanks for the video as I started researching, here in India FPV drones are way too expensive...so I was thinking just buying any simple drone using this module I can easily make one for myself
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
Apreciation for taking that nice porsche
VIDEO IDEA, i love all your videos and i am suggesting you revisit flying wings with and FPV wing that uses the ESP32 cam and streams over internet (cellura data) for unlimited range.
I hope i win one of those.
Hello there. Thanks for your comment, cool idea! Your giveaway entry has been added 👍
thanks@@MaxImagination but just so you know, it can work i tried it with MIT appinventor but i was just time bad
