Book Description
ESP32 is a versatile microcontroller and a great starting point for anyone venturing into the IoT realm, but its configuration and interfacing of sensors can be challenging for new users. Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) simplifies programming, uploading code, and utilization of ESP32 capabilities, enabling users to incorporate it into their IoT projects with ease. This book will help you learn the essentials of sensing, networking, data processing, and applications with ESP32, laying a strong foundation for further IoT development.
Starting with ESP32 and Arduino Ide 2.0 basics, you’ll first explore practical implementation examples of interfacing sensors with ESP32. These examples will also teach you how to interface the ESP32 camera and display modules with ESP32. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with IoT network and data protocols, as well as the many options they unlock within IoT applications. The book will also help you leverage your newly acquired knowledge with exciting projects ranging from smart connected devices to data loggers and automation.
By the end of this book, you’ll confidently navigate ESP32 projects with newfound knowledge and skills, know what IoT protocol to select for your applications, and successfully build and deploy your own IoT projects.
What You Will Learn:
- Understand the architecture of ESP32 including all its ins and outs
- Get to grips with writing code for ESP32 using Arduino IDE 2.0
- Interface sensors with ESP32, focusing on the science behind it
- Familiarize yourself with the architecture of various IoT network protocols in-depth
- Gain an understanding of the network protocols involved in IoT device communication
- Evaluate and select the ideal data-based IoT protocol for your project or application
- Apply IoT principles to real-world projects using Arduino IDE 2.0
Who this book is for:
This book is for electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists, and other professionals looking to design IoT applications utilizing ESP32. While it’s designed to be accessible for beginners, a basic understanding of electronics and some experience with programming concepts is a prerequisite.
Review
“An insightful journey into the world of IoT with the ESP32, this book lays a solid groundwork for beginners while offering engaging projects that bring theory to life. While it provides a thorough introduction using the Arduino IDE, it also opens the door to more advanced topics. This guide is a must-read for anyone looking to dive into the ESP32’s capabilities. An essential resource for enthusiasts ready to explore beyond the basics and embrace the full possibilities of IoT development.”

“This book by Asim Zulfiqar is a fantastic introduction to IOT. It covers several important aspects for the device side in one place. ESP32 provides a variety of device capabilities, and the Arduino IDE makes a great laboratory for learning it all with minimal friction.
One of the challenges in IOT is that it requires a wide range of skills: embedded systems programming, microcontrollers and RTOS’s, electronics and device interfacing, communications technologies and protocols, backend systems for data storage and monitoring, and a variety of software. I’ve worked in IOT for almost 10 years, with WiFi, BLE, cellular, MQTT, ESP32 and the ESP-IDF, and a variety of other microcontrollers and devices connected via UART, I2C, and SPI, and this book touches on all of those.
You can use it to prototype real, full-featured products. It provides introductory level background on each of the topics, including cloud tools (the other end of the IOT connection). There’s a lot of background that it doesn’t have room to cover, and full productization requires additional engineering discipline, but it provides enough information to get started. That gives you a practical platform for further learning.
The book relies heavily on third-party hardware modules and libraries, including open-source resources. That’s typical for the Arduino ecosystem. Most of the examples and projects in the book are small, digestible integration efforts of these, with customization for the particular application. That provides an excellent platform for learning how to apply them in full product development. The results are suitable for prototype, hobby, or one-off builds.”
