Learn Arduino & ESP32
Follow the roadmap below to get started.
1. Introduction
Arduino and ESP32 are powerful platforms for building electronics projects. Arduino is beginner-friendly, while ESP32 adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities.
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. ESP32 is a microcontroller with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it ideal for IoT projects.
2. Getting Started
To start, you'll need:
- Arduino IDE (Download from arduino.cc)
- An Arduino or ESP32 board
- USB cable
Connect your board to your computer via USB. Open the Arduino IDE and select your board from Tools > Board.
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication
}
void loop() {
Serial.println("Hello, World!"); // Print to serial monitor
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
}
3. Basic Projects
Start with these beginner-friendly projects:
- Blink an LED
- Read a button input
- Control an LED with a button
Here's how to blink an LED:
void setup() {
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); // Set built-in LED as output
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // Turn LED on
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // Turn LED off
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
}
4. Advanced Topics
Once you're comfortable, explore these advanced topics:
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with ESP32
- Using sensors (e.g., DHT11, ultrasonic)
- Building IoT projects
Here's how to connect ESP32 to Wi-Fi:
#include
const char* ssid = "YOUR_WIFI_SSID";
const char* password = "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD";
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
}
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
}
void loop() {
// Your code here
}
5. Learning Roadmap
- Learn the basics of Arduino programming
- Experiment with simple circuits (LEDs, buttons)
- Explore sensors and actuators
- Dive into ESP32's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features
- Build IoT projects and integrate with cloud platforms
