Internet of Things Projects with ESP32

By: Agus Kurniawan

Overview of this book

ESP32 is a low-cost MCU with integrated Wi-Fi and BLE. Various modules and development boards-based on ESP32 are available for building IoT applications easily. Wi-Fi and BLE are a common network stack in the Internet of Things application. These network modules can leverage your business and projects needs for cost-effective benefits. This book will serve as a fundamental guide for developing an ESP32 program. We will start with GPIO programming involving some sensor devices. Then we will study ESP32 development by building a number of IoT projects, such as weather stations, sensor loggers, smart homes, Wi-Fi cams and Wi-Fi wardriving. Lastly, we will enable ESP32 boards to execute interactions with mobile applications and cloud servers such as AWS. By the end of this book, you will be up and running with various IoT project-based ESP32 chip.

Introducing mobile applications

A mobile application is a common program that runs on mobile devices. This program is different from desktop and web applications due to the limited resources on mobile devices. Technically, we can develop any program on mobile devices depending on the device's capabilities. Designing UI and UX on mobile devices can also have an impact on the way the interfaces are implied.

Currently, there are two mainstream platforms in mobile application development: Android and iOS. Android is developed by Google, and iOS is developed by Apple. In this chapter, we won't focus on mobile development, but we will focus on how a mobile device can interact with an ESP32 board.
