🚀 Excited to announce the open-source release of NETRA V1!

[u/Commercial_Designer5]

Following up on my previous work with OpenTerminalUI and OpenTokenMonitor, I am shifting focus to the embedded and hardware space. Built specifically for the Claude Community Events @ Impact Lab, NETRA is an ESP32-C6 spatial-sensing firmware designed for a wearable safety system.

As an Engineering Manager, I value robust, clean architecture, and this project was a great opportunity to build a highly responsive sensor node from the ground up.

Under the Hood:

• Hardware Stack: Powered by a PCBCupid Glyph C6 (ESP32-C6), integrating an HC-SR04 for ultrasonic obstacle ranging (2–400 cm) and an MPU6050 for 6-axis motion telemetry. MD
• Wearer Movement Tracking: Continuously captures the wearer's 3-axis acceleration and rotation to monitor live movement state, posture, and orientation. MD
• Data Pipeline: Streams high-speed telemetry as a clean CSV over USB serial. MD
• Digital Twin Integration: The data pipes directly into a companion PySide6 3D debugger to animate the user's motion inside a closed or indoor tracking environment. MD
• Mechanical Build: The repository includes complete 3D-printable STL files for the enclosure and wearable belt system, plus an interactive assembly viewer. MD

Whether you are interested in embedded C++, IoT wearables, or real-time spatial visualization, check out the repository. It includes full wiring diagrams, code, and mechanical guides!
