From the project
Open-source ESP32-S3 edge computing module with LoRa, GPS, external flash, MicroSD, and expansion support for long-range IoT applications.
Team: Aninda Majumdar (@irocobble) · Subham Basak · Kartik Kajra
A two-board, field-deployable acoustic sensor for search-and-rescue. The node is placed in rubble or debris and listens for signs of a trapped person (voice, tapping, banging). It works out which direction the sound came from and sends a GPS-tagged alert over LoRa to a rescue dashboard.
Searching collapsed structures is a race against time, and the hardest question is where to dig. Instead of sending people onto unstable rubble to listen, the node sends the ears in first.
