Story
Desk Eyes are animated robot eyes that live on your desk. They blink, look around and switch moods on their own. You just click an ESP32-C6 display board into a 3D printed case, with no soldering. It’s a great first electronics project and takes about 45 minutes, mostly print time.

How it worksThe eyes are drawn on the 1.47" display in real time. Random blinks, glances and mood changes make them feel alive. You can trigger moods over serial, or change colors and shapes in the code.
