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.

Technical requirements

In this chapter, for the projects that require a camera, we will be using the ESP32-CAM board, which has a built-in camera and SD card support. Furthermore, we will use the ESP32 DevKit board and 16x2 LCD, SSD1306 organic light-emitting diode (OLED), ILI9341 TFT Touchscreen, and e-paper displays.

All the code files used in this chapter will be available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Programming-ESP32-with-Arduino-IDE/tree/main/Chapter3.
