In case you missed it, the big news is that a minimal Arduino core is up and working on the ESP32. There’s still lots left to do, but the core functionality — GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, and WiFi — are all ...

My first foray into the IoT utilized the Espressif ESP8266, an SoC with 32-bit MCU and 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi built in. Since then, I have used many different module variants based on the microcontroller. So ...

Espressif Systems, known for developing wireless communication-enabled SoCs such as the ESP32, has begun mass production of the RISC-V-based SoC ESP32-C5. The ESP32-C5 is an SoC that contains a 32-bit ...

Based on an ESP32 (using the Arduino stack) and SDCard for control, and a LiPo cell charged wirelessly, the build is rather tidy. A couple of hall effect switches are mounted at the start of each of ...

Open-hardware platforms enable rapid prototyping and faster time-to-market of new IoT applications. The objective of this post is to give a brief introduction to another open-hardware IoT playground — ...
