LilyGo T-Display S3: sensor data to Touchdesigner using WebSockets

The ESP32’s built-in wireless communication capabilities are highly suitable for interactive media projects that require fast, bidirectional data transfer.

When paired with TouchDesigner, which excels at real-time visual programming, the ESP32 can stream motion and environmental data for visualization or audio generation.

This project is designed with a modular architecture, enabling adaptation to diverse use cases.

In the upcoming guide, I’ll cover:

-Detailed instructions for configuring the hardware components.

-Methods for acquiring and processing raw sensor data to ensure accuracy and reliability.

-Implementation of a Node.js relay server for bidirectional data streaming.

-Configuration to receive and process incoming messages for real-time visualization.

-Demonstration of project adaptability through a browser-based interface for monitoring incoming messages.
