This is the official repository of the GPT magic 8 ball project at UT Austin Maker Space FRI.

Open AI has recently made their API public to use. While many rush to make a plugin or some software with it, we here want to experiment with its usage in the physical space.

Using an Internet connected ESP-32 and some other electronics, we can record a voice clip, send it to the API and then generate a chatGPT response.

• Get all parts
• Able to record audio
• Connect to the Internet and send HTTP requests
• Make requests with OpenAI's API
• Use a shake sensor to trigger audio recording.
• Display info onto a screen.
• Able to customize the configuration of the environmental variables using WAP portal. (WiFi SSID, API keys)
• Add haptics.
• Make 8-ball enclosure.
• Make all necessary attributions.
• Make a step by step guide with all parts.

• Rahul Myana : Github - [email protected]

• ESP 32 Dev kit board (atleast 4Mb of Flash memory)
• MAX4466 electret microphone
• DFRobot Gravity: Shake sensor
• 16x2 lcd I2S display
• 5v power source (battery cage with buck converter)
• 3D printed enclosure (Thanks to https://Open8Ball.com.)

I will update on my progress and working on this logs site.
