Touch Designer Wireless Controller With XIAO ESP32 #esp32 #diy #touchdesigner

Welcome, everyone! This project serves as an introduction to interfacing data from TouchDesigner using the Xiao. If you’re not familiar with TouchDesigner, it is a creative tool used to create real-time visuals and interactive art. It’s popular among artists and designers because it enables the creation of impressive projects, such as light shows, music visuals, and digital installations, using simple building blocks. You can easily drag, drop, and connect different elements to bring your ideas to life—no extensive coding required!

For this demo project, I created a wireless encoder knob with a button. This setup allows you to send encoder data wirelessly to TouchDesigner using ESP-NOW. In TouchDesigner, I mapped the encoder data to control the radius of a circle. I also programmed the button press to switch between white and red colours.

This project is designed to help you create interactive art in TouchDesigner easily, without worrying about wiring management.
