Bio Sensing

Bee Motion S3 is an ESP32-S3 with abundant features. Its built-in motion sensor can help build motion based projects in an easy way. This board includes PIR sensors, light sensors, RGB LEDs, 2 LDOs, LiPo charging circuitry, battery voltage monitoring and Stemma connectors to easily add Adafruit or Sparkfun sensor boards to your project.Bee Motion S3 is an ESP32-S3 with abundant features.

By using Bee Motion S3, you can completely control the hardware without cloud services that store or sell your sensor data. In addition to supporting multiple programming languages, designers write sample sketches in Arduino, MicroPython, and CircuitPython to help users get started. Bee Motion S3 is also fully open source and supported by the United States.


Build Motion Detecting Night Lights, Soldering Irons, Pet Dishes and More

Bee Motion S3 hopes to make building projects with PIR motion detection as easy as possible through a compact design. Some examples you can build include making battery-operated night lights (using PIR, RGB LED and ambient light sensors), controlling the sodering iron to turn off when motion is no longer detected, or placing it next to a pet food tray to get notifications about their eating habits.
