Controls only move the on-screen simulation. They do not send commands to a physical rover.

iThis demo is not connected to a physical rover. Controls, sensor readings, battery, and obstacle detection are simulated.

01 / PROJECT OVERVIEWTHE BUILD

A SMALL ROVER, A BIGGER IDEA

Curiosity,
on four wheels.

LunarX Rev 1.0 is an ESP8266-powered rover concept built to make embedded robotics approachable. It brings mobile control and environmental sensing into one compact platform—then lets you explore the idea safely in this browser demo.

The dashboard is a standalone simulator. It does not communicate with hardware or represent live readings.

WHAT'S ON BOARD

Made to sense.
Built to explore.

Core ideas behind the LunarX platform, represented in an interactive browser simulation.

Responsive drive

Four-way directional control with a simulated heading and position. Try the arrow keys or on-screen controls.

MOTION · SIMULATED

Environmental sensing

Illustrative temperature, humidity, and soil moisture values inspired by the rover’s sensor set.

TELEMETRY · SIMULATED

Proximity awareness

Toggle the virtual obstacle field and test a simple distance threshold with a simulated stop response.

SAFETY · SIMULATED

Modular foundation

ESP8266, motor driver, and sensors form a flexible base for future robotics experiments.
