Why ESP32's Are The Best Microcontrollers (ESP32 + Arduino series)

The ESP32 is a very powerful microcontroller with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, a dual-core CPU and a lot of memory.

In this video I'll go over all of the features and explain why it's possibly the best chip to use for your next IoT project!

Thanks for the great series! I've been away from microcontrollers for around three years, decided to get back in lately but with espressif chips instead of arduinos, and I've been floundering around all day today trying to find may way around. You've given me a lot to start with and I was glad to see I can code right there in VS Code!

esp32 is a little gem to have in hands it goes from portable game console, to robotics etc i love this little module! and very easy to work with and im just an amateur!!

[hvtgiim]

Thank you very much for sharing ESP32. It is very helpful to me and ESP32 is a great small projects.

Awesome playlist. Thank you very much for the effort. You've got new subscriber :)

[NickTheHunter]

Thank you! Exactly what I needed. Concise and informative! All the other people just brag about it “for hours”!

[ChathuYasas]

I have used ESP32 devices and it is interesting to do. So, I think this is a good video for beginners.

Thanks for the introduction to ESP32. You mentioned Voice Recognition, could you explain further on this topic?

[LightTubes]

For a moment your voice sounds like Great Scott's voice 😁👌

The ESP32 is fantastic and is now my default micro-controller for most projects. However it requires a lot of power to operate and that can create a signifigant challenge for battery powered IoT devices that need to run for a long time. Still, fantastic microcontroller and great for a ton of applications and managing sleep mode properly it can lower power consumption massively.

PWM stands for pulse-width modulation, not power management. You can vary average power to an LED using this, but that's not all, and this is really a capability of the analog outputs pins, there's no chip dedicated to managing LEDs specifically.

Thanks for the short yet detailed video on ESP. I was planning to move away from Arduino and found this.👌👌👌

[mikoaj]

One disadvantage is they don't properly fit on breadboards (unless you use two breadboards side by side).

Great videos! What software do you use to create your animations and edit your videos?

[dileepgowda]

how to receive data from rs232 to esp32 using rts and cts in arduino please help me

[raba]

What are some entry jobs that lead to an embedded job while you learn to program?

[Ownedyou]

Far from all Arduino libraries work with ESP32. Though there is usualy a way around it. Had to rewrite code using libraries that dealt with timers in a ATMega specific ways...

I developed an anti theft device with ESP32 DOIT.

I want to change and move it to ESP32 HUZZAH32.

I read the whole data sheet but i am confused about the pins i can use without any conflict.

On the DOIT i had, first a membrane keypad.

4 Outputs for horizontal lines with the following GPIO:

KH1-26

KH2-19

KH3-18

KH4-23

3 Inputs for vertical line. Each line is pulled up by 1K resistor:

KV1-35

KV2-33

KV3-34



2 Leds Outputs:

Red-21

Green-22



1 Output = Enable control line for your Adafruit MiniBoost 5V @ 1A - TPS61023:

Pwr_On-5



1 Input from and RFID Reader (TX-line of the reader)

RFID_In-25



Please be so kind and help me to select the corresponding GPIO or GPIn to move the whole project to ESP32 Huzzah32

Is it possible to program with ST Link V2?

[thefatmoop]

OTA updates over the internet. Pr9bably the biggest pro if you're using in a product

[ArduinoTex]

ESP32 is a great board for small projects.
