Museum of us Using ESP32-C3

Project Description: Museum of Us – Mini Interactive Museum

Museum of Us is a miniature interactive museum project built using an ESP32-C3, ST7789 color display, WS2812B RGB LEDs, and a buzzer. The project recreates a small museum scene where digital images are presented as artworks inside a physical miniature environment.

The ST7789 display functions as a digital photo frame, allowing images to be displayed like framed artworks. The frame itself is 3D printed, designed specifically to match the miniature museum concept and to neatly house the display, enhancing the visual realism of the exhibit.

The ESP32-C3 operates as a WiFi access point, enabling users to connect directly using a smartphone or computer. By accessing the ESP32’s IP address through a web browser, users can open a built-in web interface to upload images. Up to three images can be uploaded, each resized and compressed to 240×240 pixels before being displayed on the screen.

To enhance the immersive experience, RGB LEDs are used for ambient lighting, while a buzzer provides simple audio feedback during interactions. All electronic components are mounted on a custom-designed PCB, ensuring a compact, clean, and reliable system layout.
