# Liu-zhongxian/zongzhu-bot > A voice terminal for Grok Bot running on Waveshare 1.75C round-screen ESP32-S3 or Lichuang SZPI boards: wake word, animated blinking eyes, subtitles and read-aloud replies, with firmware and backend source. - Magnitude: 5.3 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 217 total · +1 star measured 2026-10-22, 00:04–04:07 UTC, ≈ 143 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C++ · License: MIT · Created: 2026-10-16 · Last push: 2026-10-21 - GitHub: https://github.com/Liu-zhongxian/zongzhu-bot · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/Liu-zhongxian/zongzhu-bot ## Useful for - Build a desktop robot on ESP32-S3 that answers via Grok and shows subtitles. - Run a local Python backend to relay voice requests and replies to the board. - Customize the animated eye expressions and touch gestures in the firmware. ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 00:04–04:07: 216 → 217 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +143 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 6 days old and already has 217 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #106. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 3 - Issues and pull requests: 0 - Watchers: 0 - Average over the last week: 52 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 0 - Latest release: v2.5.2.9 (2026-10-19) ## Stars per day, last 7 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-16 … 2026-10-22: 0, 0, 0, 4, 3, 210, 1 ## Magnitude by day, last 2 days 10-21 0.8, 10-22 5.5 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #106 ## Similar by description 1. **78/xiaozhi-esp32** — 2.8 · Steady · Hardware, IoT & robotics · C++ · +14 stars measured 2026-10-22, 00:40–04:10 UTC, ≈ 69 by evening ESP32 firmware that turns a board into a voice AI chatbot: offline wake word, streaming ASR+LLM+TTS, MCP-based device and smart-home control. Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/78/xiaozhi-esp32.md --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
