ESP32 for Busy People

Use this powerful microcontroller to turbo-charge your Arduino projects.

The ESP32 is a powerful, low-cost microcontroller that fits well in the Arduino ecosystem.

If you are already using the Arduino in your projects, then you'll love what the ESP32 can do. The ESP32 packs a lot of power: lots of processing power, GPIO's communications options, including a full array of wireless capabilities, and integrated sensor.

This course will help you get up and running with the ESP32 quickly.

  • Level: intermediate
  • Course type: series of mini-projects
  • Full lifetime access.
  • Dedicated discussion forum.
  • Certificate of Completion.
  • This course is perfect for people who have at least basic working knowledge of the Arduino. If you don’t, we recommend starting with Arduino Step by Step Getting Started.
  • Learn how to use the ESP32 in place of the Arduino to do things such as controlling LEDs, reading button and potentiometer states, drive displays and motors, read data from digital and analog sensors (including internal sensors), communicate with the Internet, and communicate with Bluetooth devices.
