ESP32-based portable Multi-Sensor Pod [in development]

A deprecated ESP32 firmware for a DIY portable sensor pod measuring air quality, UV, heart rate, body temperature, and more — displayed on a small screen with SD logging. The author has moved to a newer version (HEX_POD). This repo is a snapshot of an in-progress hobbyist project, not a finished product.

The breadth of sensors tackled in one handheld device is ambitious — air quality, UV, heart rate, temperature probes, and a LAMP indicator all wired into one ESP32 sketch. The BMP asset library suggests a real UI was built, not just serial output. Code is split across logically named .ino files (SENSORS, PAGES, INTERRUPTS, TIME_LOGGING) which is better organization than a single monolithic sketch.

This repo is explicitly deprecated — the README's first line tells you to go elsewhere, so there's no reason to adopt it. The README contains almost no actual documentation: no wiring diagram, no BOM, no build instructions, no pinout. Splitting Arduino code into multiple .ino files works but produces a flat, implicit include order that breaks if you try to refactor into a proper PlatformIO project. 10 stars and 2 forks over three years of development signals very limited community validation.
