Kids OK with adultESP32Level 2/3
Track 3 People with mmWave
A multi-target radar tracks up to 3 people at once and an OLED draws where each one is.
Kids OK, with an adult
DIY project. Children must build this only with an adult (16+ years) beside them at all times. Not suitable for children under 8 years.
Check your OLED's pin order: some boards are GND, VCC, SCL, SDA.
Strictly follow the description given with this video.

How it works
- The radar reports the X and Y position of up to 3 people at 256000 baud.
- The ESP32 reads the data on D14 and counts the people.
- Each person is drawn as a dot on the OLED.
- It sees about 8 m and ±60° when mounted 1.5 m high, tilted slightly down.
