ESP32 is a powerful microcontroller that has gained wide application in the fields of IoT and embedded development. However, achieving precise time management on the ESP32 often requires the use of an additional RTC (Real-Time Clock) module. The emergence of the ESP32Time library provides developers with a convenient and efficient solution, leveraging the internal RTC … Read more
1. Physical Layer: The physical layer specifies the transmission medium, electrical characteristics, IO circuits, and synchronization mechanisms. In simple terms, it defines how the sender Tx obtains the encoded data from the upper layer, converts it into what kind of electrical signals, and sends it to the receiver Rx through how many channels and in … Read more
