I built a Bluetooth air mouse from scratch using an ESP32-C3, and it's controlled entirely by tilting your hand — no grip, no desk required. This is a full ESP32 project walkthrough: soldering, wiring, calibration, and the actual code that makes it talk to your PC over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
If you're into Arduino projects, ESP32 projects, or DIY electronics builds, this one covers a lot of ground — IMU-based motion sensing (MPU6050), a custom BLE HID mouse profile, capacitive touch input instead of buttons, haptic feedback, battery management, and a fully 3D-printed... okay, hot-glued enclosure repurposed from an old product box.
Whether you're learning embedded systems, exploring ESP32-C3 capabilities, or just want to see a slightly unnecessary DIY gadget come together from raw components, this build has something for you.
What's covered in this video:
Soldering the ESP32-C3 to a custom Vero board
Wiring an MPU6050 IMU for tilt-based motion tracking
Building a BLE HID mouse using NimBLE-Arduino
Two capacitive touch sensors replacing traditional buttons
Haptic feedback circuit (transistor-driven vibration motor)
LiPo battery + charging module + power switch wiring
Calibration process for accurate tilt detection
Full feature demo: click, double-click, drag, scroll, sleep mode
Parts used:
ESP32-C3 Dev Board
MPU6050 IMU
SSD1306 OLED Display
2x Capacitive Touch Sensor Modules (TTP223)
Small Vibration Motor + NPN Transistor
3.7V 500mAh LiPo Battery + TP4056 Charging Module
Vero Board / Perfboard
