Turbo-charge your projects with the esp32
What can you make with a dual-core microcontroller, that has integrated Bluetooth and Wifi, lots of pins, storage and communications, using your familiar Arduino tools?
With the ESP32, you can prototype your idea quickly.
You can use the familiar Arduino tools, programming language, and libraries.
The ESP integrates Wifi and Bluetooth, many GPIOs, analog input and output capabilities, many device interconnection protocols, a fast dual-core processor. And it has lots of storage and RAM, so your sketches can grow as your projects grow.
If you are already using the Arduino, then the ESP32 is an excellent choice. You can replace the Arduino Uno or other Atmega-bases boards with an ESP32 dev kit, and add new capabilities to your 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.
With the ESP32, you can get a lot more capacity to build more interesting projects, almost for free.
The ESP32 is not a plug-in replacement for the Arduino. While it shares much of the Arduino’s programming and GPIO interface, you still need to learn the basics before you can deploy it.
This is the purpose of this course: to provide with you a learning resource that can help you become productive with the ESP32 quickly.
In this course, I have included numerous mini-projects to demonstrate how to use capabilities such as GPIO read and write, classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, Wifi, digital to analog conversion, touch sensors, and more.
Larger projects will also show you how to create simple Internet of Things and Bluetooth applications, to name a few.
