In theory, using MicroPython on the ESP32 is easy — just flash an image and connect using a serial port. But that leaves a lot of things you still have to do. You need to move files between the two ...

Wouldn’t it be great if you could keep all of your small Internet-connected hacks up to date with a single codebase? A couple of weeks ago, we wrote up a project that automagically pulls down OTA ...

Typically associated with circuitry projects and real-time operating systems, microcontrollers are great for tinkerers who prefer working with embedded devices. But unlike their SBC counterparts, you ...

Arduino has introduced a Nano shaped board with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE capable Espressif’s ESP32-S3 microcontroller, supporting it with the Arduino IDE and MicroPython. “Beginners can explore in an ...

I would like to ask about the future support of Zigbee functionality on the ESP32-C6 in MicroPython. As you know, the ESP32-C6 includes an integrated IEEE 802.15.4 radio, which enables Zigbee and ...

The cheap WLAN and Bluetooth chips from the manufacturer Espressif, ESP32, contain undocumented commands in the Bluetooth hardware communication in current firmware versions. This opens up a security ...

Update 3/9/25: After receiving concerns about the use of the term 'backdoor' to refer to these undocumented commands, we have updated our title and story. Our original story can be found here. The ...

Follow the instruction for building ESP32. At the last step, make works, but make BOARD=ESP32_GENERIC_C3 fails with error. $ make BOARD=ESP32_GENERIC_C3 Use make V=1 ...
