ESP32 Devices

19 Nov 2019

After looking around at the projects I could get started in, I am settling on one (or two) projects that are inexpensive and allow me to get my feet wet in electronics and assembly.

The first project will be to work with the ESP32 micro-controller board. After acquiring one, I see that not all of them are the same and some will require additional connectivity for me to be able to work with it (some sort of serial board).

I also see that there are various programming environments: Mongoose OS, MicroPython, NuttX, Ardurino IDE, Zephyr, Mbed TLS that can be used to program it.

So now I've ordered one that has a USB port (which should be coming in the mail today) as well as a few parts that I may need to successfully do some projects.

Let's see what today brings...

Ok - I picked up the serial connector and then I picked up the ESP32 that has the USB port.

genebren - yes, I believe this will be part of the drink dispenser project - I am thinking I want to have multiple ways to drive the dispenser. The ESP32 would be one - if I'm accepted in the recent AWS IoT RoadTest - I would pursue that as another way of doing it.

I believe so - I ordered it from Amazon (hard to turn down instant gratification of next day delivery and a pair of 2 for $20 w/camera to boot). Based on link and looking at what I have, it looks like it's the same thing.

Interesting start to your project. Is this going to be a part of your drink dispenser project? Either way, good luck and thanks for sharing your project with the community.
