Creating and Parsing JSON Data with ESP32 IDF

Creating and Parsing JSON Data with ESP32 IDF

Introduction:When developing with the ESP32, my favorite framework to use is the IDF framework, which is flexible, convenient, and comprehensive. This article utilizes the espressif__json_generator and espressif__json_parser components under the IDF framework to implement the creation and parsing of JSON data format. 1. espressif__jsmn is a dependency and will be automatically downloaded II. Writing the … Read more

Open Source! An IoT-based energy consumption monitoring system for campuses, completely free, supports real-time collection, transmission, and visualization analysis of energy such as water, electricity, and gas. The hardware is centered around the ESP32, connecting to water flow sensors, current sensors, and gas flow sensors, communicating with the backend via MQTT over WiFi. The backend … Read more

ThatProject: A Collection of Open Source Examples to Explore ESP32

ThatProject: A Collection of Open Source Examples to Explore ESP32

ThatProject is essentially an open-source repository that consolidates many practical projects, tutorials, source codes, and videos related to ESP32/ESP32-S3, ESP8266, and more, created by the author (Eric Nam). Unlike a single library or toolchain, it serves as a “case-driven” learning resource library. You will find complete demos, accompanying source codes, and instructional videos, allowing you … Read more

ESP32 HMI + TinyMaix: Low-Power Handwritten Digit Recognition Solution Implementation

ESP32 HMI + TinyMaix: Low-Power Handwritten Digit Recognition Solution Implementation

During this winter vacation project, I wanted to do something that seemed “simple but extremely interesting”—to make an ESP32S3 HMI development board learn to “understand” the handwritten digits I write on the screen and display the recognition results on an 8×8 LED board. From designing the interface with LVGL to running the handwritten digit recognition … Read more

Can WiFi Measure Heartbeats? No Sensors Needed! ESP32 CSI Tutorial

Can WiFi Measure Heartbeats? No Sensors Needed! ESP32 CSI Tutorial

Introduction:WiFi is not just for internet access! By analyzing signal fluctuations, it can “see through” the environment and perceive vital signs without additional sensors. With just an ESP32, you can unlock this technology. Seeing this title, I can tell you are skeptical, thinking this is just another one of those “academic gimmicks” that sounds impressive. … Read more
