1. Connecting ESP32 to the Network Before performing MQTT communication, the ESP32 needs to connect to a WiFi network. Below is the code to connect to WiFi: import network import time def connect_wifi(ssid, password): # Create WiFi client interface wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF) wlan.active(True) # Check if already connected if not wlan.isconnected(): print('Connecting to network…') wlan.connect(ssid, … Read more

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has developed rapidly; however, the high power consumption and cost associated with high-performance hardware have limited its application in edge devices. TinyML has emerged to bring the powerful capabilities of machine learning to resource-constrained microcontrollers, such as the ESP32. This article will take you deep into the tinyml-esp … Read more
1. Overview of the File System The MicroPython on ESP32 uses the FAT file system by default, stored in internal flash memory or on an external SD card. The main operations include file reading and writing, directory management, and retrieving file information. 2. Common APIs <span>os.listdir()</span>: List directory contents <span>os.mkdir(path)</span>: Create a directory <span>os.rmdir(path)</span>: Remove … Read more
1. Key Points of UART Hardware Resources and Configuration UART Resources of ESP32ESP32 supports 3 UART controllers (UART0, UART1, UART2), but actual availability is limited by pin conflicts: UART0: Default for REPL debugging (flashing and serial monitoring), using GPIO1 (TX), GPIO3 (RX) UART1: Some development boards connect to external Flash/SD cards (conflicts should be avoided), … Read more
