While some people head to the terrace on a Friday afternoon, we prefer to dive into the world of microcontrollers.
\nWell, tell me yourself: what's more fun than with an ESP32, a handful of wires, and a Raspberry Pi something Really<\/i> Shall we move?<\/p>\n
Microcontrollers are small, programmable heroes that can control anything from washing machines to drones.
\nIn combination with Linux on, for example, a Pi, you can effortlessly link the physical and digital worlds. The Pi processes the data, the microcontroller talks to the world via GPIO, USB, or UART.<\/p>\n
And yes, there are plenty of libraries available \u2014 whether you prefer programming in C, Python, or even Rust.<\/p>\n
Do you also want to have a light on your own chip, as seen below?<\/p>\n
Then copy the code below into the Arduino IDE and flash away!<\/p>\n
const int pin = 5;<\/b><\/p>\n
void setup() {<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0 pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);<\/b><\/p>\n
}<\/b><\/p>\n
void loop() {<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0 digitalWrite(pin, HIGH);<\/b><\/p>\n
}<\/b><\/p>\n
