Overview of this book

ESP32 is a versatile microcontroller and a great starting point for anyone venturing into the IoT realm, but its configuration and interfacing of sensors can be challenging for new users. Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) simplifies programming, uploading code, and utilization of ESP32 capabilities, enabling users to incorporate it into their IoT projects with ease. This book will help you learn the essentials of sensing, networking, data processing, and applications with ESP32, laying a strong foundation for further IoT development. Starting with ESP32 and Arduino Ide 2.0 basics, you'll first explore practical implementation examples of interfacing sensors with ESP32. These examples will also teach you how to interface the ESP32 camera and display modules with ESP32. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with IoT network and data protocols, as well as the many options they unlock within IoT applications. The book will also help you leverage your newly acquired knowledge with exciting projects ranging from smart connected devices to data loggers and automation. By the end of this book, you'll confidently navigate ESP32 projects with newfound knowledge and skills, know what IoT protocol to select for your applications, and successfully build and deploy your own IoT projects.

A complete IoT embedded and software roadmap

In Chapter 1, we discussed the IoT four-layer architecture, including the sensing, networking, data processing, and application layers. The first three chapters explained the sensing layer of IoT, in which we learned about the communication protocols used by sensors and how to interface different sensors with ESP32. Chapter 4 explained network protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and cellular communication, and in Chapter 5, we learned about data protocols such as HTTP, MQTT, and Webhooks. Furthermore, we completed three projects that explained how data is processed, manipulated, and presented in the form of visualization. This cumulative approach lays a robust foundation for IoT development.

Moving forward from our foundational discussions, this section unveils a complete IoT roadmap, carefully crafted by considering various job requirements in these fields. The roadmap is neatly split into two categories: IoT embedded...
