Well if you are interested in programming embedded Devices, I have a project that I could use some help with and would extremely grateful if you could help me see it to completion.

https://github.com/s1gmapr1mus/ESP32-Arduino-Stuff/tree/main...

Just to provide a bit of context, on October 14 2023 I was shot while driving my car and due to the crash and the bullet severing my spinal cord I am now a quadriplegic. I have obtained the hardware listed on the BOM and will be getting a friend to assemble the device but could use some help with the coding. Currently I am using an iPad with voice control and it is tedious to say the least.

I'm willing to lend a hand, but while I've got some ESP32 and other microcontroller/sensor programming experience, I have absolutely no USB peripheral development experience.

From a high-level point of view, I would naively expect that eye tracking/eye-based control would be far more desirable than using IMUs and buttons. It seems like it would be exhausting to control a computer with head movements, while our eyes move quickly around all the time we're awake already. (I'm still willing to help as I can, but I wanted to make sure that you're pretty sure this a viable path.)

Hey! So sorry to hear that. Unfortionately, I have never done anything with embedded devices, so I feel like it’s beyond my capabilities.
