How to Build a Desktop Companion Robot | ESP32 S3

Описание: Project Overview
Desktop companion robots are trending right now, but buying one can be expensive.
So in this video, I built my own DIY desktop companion robot using a Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-S3, and an OLED display.
This is basically me trying to give my desk some life, cute blinking eyes that actually react to what I'm doing, like playing music or just sitting idle. It's way more fun than just a boring screen sitting there.

🔧 Components Used
Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32-S3
0.96" SSD1306 OLED Display (I2C, 128×64)
Jumper Wires (Female-to-Female)
USB-C Cable (for programming & power)
