I’ve been playing with a few MicroPython projects recently on several different embedded platforms, including a couple of ESP32 WiFi modules. There are various ways to program these modules: … ...

In theory, using MicroPython on the ESP32 is easy — just flash an image and connect using a serial port. But that leaves a lot of things you still have to do. You need to move files between the ...

T he ESP32 is a fantastic little microcontroller with a world of possibilities. Its specifications may appear modest, but its capabilities enable it to power all kinds of devices.

Besides the obvious advantage of enabling Bluetooth capabilities for your Home Assistant interface, an ESP32-powered proxy allows you to control and automate smart devices over a large area.

Arduino has introduced a Nano shaped board with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE capable Espressif’s ESP32-S3 microcontroller, supporting it with the Arduino IDE and MicroPython. “Beginners can explore in an ...
