This free online course introduces the ESP32 board and demonstrates how to utilise it to launch your first programme.

In this course, we learn, through basic systematic demonstrations, about the intricate workflow of software and hardware that enables smart objects to reach their potential. The first topic discussed is the hardware and software needed to complete our project, such as Arduino IDE and ESP32 development board. Then, we explore the capabilities, peripherals, and GPIO pins of the ESP32 Internet of Things board.

The instructions for downloading and installing Arduino IDE, ESP, and USB drivers are next covered. After, you'll be able to learn how to load your first code to the ESP32 board using an example sketch. After that, we detail each step in programming LED Blink, including establishing some functions and writing basic line codes. Following that, we teach you how to use and adjust an internal capacitive touch sensor inside the ESP board.

Finally, the course explores the input Analog value signals and how to employ the analogRead( ) function to read the value of an ADC (Analog Digital Converter) pin. It then covers the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal and the variables needed for coding it. Lastly, you'll study how to use the PWM signals to power a servo motor. This course will give you the skills to realise the IoT (Internet of Things) project of your dreams. Register right now!
