ESP32
ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system-on-a-chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth, developed by Espressif Systems. It is widely used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications, embedded systems, and prototyping due to its rich set of peripherals, dual-core processor, and extensive software support. The platform includes development boards like the ESP32-DevKitC and is programmable using the Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF framework, or MicroPython.
Developers should learn ESP32 for building IoT devices, smart home systems, wearables, and industrial automation projects that require wireless connectivity, low power consumption, and real-time processing. It is ideal when cost-effectiveness, community support, and integration with cloud services (e.g., AWS IoT, Google Cloud IoT) are priorities, such as in sensor networks, robotics, or data logging applications.
