![ESP32 Halloween Project: The Painting That Talks Back!
Mark builds a motion-activated “haunted painting” using an ESP32, a MAX98357 I²S audio board, and a PIR motion sensor to make a framed photo whisper or talk when someone walks by. The project is simple to wire, fits neatly inside a photo frame, and can be customized for Halloween, cosplay, or even pranks. Mark walks through the full build—from cutting the frame and soldering components to programming the ESP32 in Arduino—so you can easily recreate it. Perfect for anyone wanting to mix art, electronics, and a bit of Halloween mischief: https://bit.ly/46S7hL4

![Creating an ESD or Lightning Detector
Clem builds a custom ESD detector to identify electrostatic discharge events that can interfere with electronic circuits and cause unexpected glitches. Based on a proven design by Charles Wenzel, the detector outputs a logic-safe pulse that can trigger test equipment like oscilloscopes, helping correlate ESD with system faults. The video covers circuit design, case integration using EMI-shielded enclosures, and real-world testing scenarios. Download the design files and see how you can build your own low-cost debugging tool! https://bit.ly/43JS1hP
