ESP32 OTA (Over The Air) Programming
Over the air (OTA) programming, Applications of OTA, How does OTA work, Implementing OTA update feature using ESP32, Code description, Uploading new program into ESP32 module over the air, ESP32 OTA
Hello readers, hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we are going to discuss a mechanism that allows users to update the ESP32 with a new program wirelessly or over the air (without using a USB cable to upload a new program). Over-The-Air (OTA) programming Fig. 1 ESP32 OTA OTA programming is the mean by which a product manufacturer or product service provider can update the features or functionality of the device wirelessly or over the air, after the device has been deployed in the field where connecting a cable or uploading the code serially is difficult. One key advantage of OTA is that a single central node can send an update to multiple ESPs on the same network. The device must have a provisioning client capable of receivin ...

ESP32 PIR, PIR esp32, pir sensor esp32, esp32 pir sensor, motion detection with esp32, motion detection esp32 pir sensor, motion detection pir esp32
Hello readers, we hope you all are doing great. Welcome to the 4th lecture of Section 5(ESP32 Sensor) in the ESP32 Programming Series. So far, we have discussed the ESP32 built-in sensors in this section. Today, we are going to interface an external embedded sensor(i.e. PIR Sensor) with the ESP32 Microcontroller board. At the start, we will discuss the basics of a PIR Sensor(HC-SR501) i.e. its pinout and working. After that, we will design a simple project to detect the motion with a PIR sensor and ESP32. Finally, we will display the motion detection results on the ESP32 WebServer. We will use ESP32 interrupts to detect the motion. Interrupts are used when a microcontroller needs to continuously monitor an event while executing other tasks at the same time. We have already posted a tuto ...

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. In the previous lecture(Chapter 0: ESP32 Pinout), we discussed the ESP32 features & specs in detail. Today, we are officially starting this ESP32 Programming Series. In this ESP32 Programming Series, we will start with basic concepts and will gradually move towards complex topics. I will try to keep this ESP32 series as simple as I can. But still, if you encounter any issues, please ask in the comments, will try to resolve the issues as soon as possible.As ESP32 has numerous features & applications, so I have divided this series into different sections. I have named the 1st section "ESP32 IDEs". In this section, we will discuss different IDEs used to program ESP32 boards. In each Chapter of this section, we will install one of t ...

Reading Data from Firebase Database with ESP32
Reading Data from Firebase Database with ESP32, firebase esp32, esp32 firebase, esp32 firebase data read, read data from firebase esp32, esp32 firebase data reading
Internet of Things is a system of multiple inter-related computing devices. The factor ‘thing’ in IoT is designated to an entity capable of communicating data over a network (IOT), which can be a digital machine, sensor, human being, animals etc. Each component that is included in IoT network is assigned with an unique identity called UID and the ability to communicate data over IoT network without any external human or computer intervention. Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we discussed how to upload data to Firebase Real-time Database using ESP32. In this tutorial, we will learn how to read the data stored on the Firebase Database with ESP32. We can access the data stored in Firebase database from anywhere in the world, which makes this preferable ...

ESP-NOW Protocol with ESP32 and ESP8266
ESP-NOW Protocol with ESP32 and ESP8266, ESP Now, ESP Now with ESP32, ESP Now with ESP8266, ESP Now Protocol with ESP32, Implement ESP Now in ESP32, ESP Now with ESP32 in Arduino IDE
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn about the ESP-NOW protocol and how to communicate data between two ESP modules through ESP-NOW protocol and that is too without Wi-Fi connectivity. What is ESP-NOW Protocol? Fig. 1: ESP-NOW Protocol ESP–NOW is a connectionless communication protocol that is used for sharing small data packets between two ESP boards. This protocol is developed by Espressif. Features of ESP-NOW Protocol: It is a low-power wireless protocol, which makes two or more ESP devices communicate directly with each other without using Wi-Fi. ESP-NOW protocol does not require a handshake for establishing a connection but, they require pairing and once the devices are paired they can exchang ...
