Technical requirements
In this book, we are going to go through many practical examples where we can learn how to use ESP32 effectively in real-world scenarios. Although links to the examples are provided within each chapter, you can take a sneak peek at the online repository here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Developing-IoT-Projects-with-ESP32-2nd-edition. The examples are placed in their relative directories of the chapters for easy browsing. There is also a common source code directory that contains the shared libraries across the chapters.
The programming language of the examples is usually C++11 (the default C++ standard supported by the toolchain). However, there are several chapters where Python 3 is required to support the subject.
The hardware tools, development kits, and sensors that you will need throughout the book are the following:
- ESP32-S3-BOX-Lite (approx. $35)
- ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 (approx. $8)
- BME280 temperature, humidity, pressure...
