"No prior experience? No problem! This book is designed to take you from zero to hero, with simple explanations and hands-on projects to make learning easy and fun."

Are you ready to dive into the world of IoT and embedded systems using the powerful ESP32 and ESP8266 microcontrollers? Whether you're an absolute beginner or a seasoned developer looking to master Arduino and MicroPython programming, this guide has everything you need!

This book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to programming ESP32 and ESP8266, covering both Arduino IDE and MicroPython environments. With clear explanations, practical projects, and troubleshooting tips, you'll go from the basics to advanced IoT applications with ease.

The ESP32 and ESP8266 are microcontrollers developed by Espressif Systems, commonly used in Internet of Things (IoT) projects. These microcontrollers are known for their built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, which make them highly popular for connecting devices to the internet and creating smart, connected systems. Both are affordable and widely used, but they have different levels of power, features, and applications, making them suitable for different use cases.

ESP32: Designed to be a high-performance microcontroller with dual-core processing, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth capabilities, the ESP32 is ideal for more advanced IoT projects. It is suitable for applications where more computing power, additional features, and enhanced connectivity are needed.

ESP8266: Known for its low cost and built-in Wi-Fi, the ESP8266 is ideal for simpler IoT projects, particularly for beginners or budget-conscious makers. It’s capable of handling basic tasks and is perfect for projects that do not require the higher performance or additional connectivity options found in the ESP32.

What You’ll Learn:

Introduction to ESP32 and ESP8266: Understand the history, evolution, and key features of these powerful microcontrollers.
Basic and Advanced I/O: Learn digital and analog input/output, GPIO pin details, and how to control devices with sensors and actuators.
Arduino IDE Setup: Step-by-step instructions for setting up the Arduino IDE, writing your first program, and connecting your ESP32 or ESP8266.
MicroPython Setup: Install and use MicroPython in the Thonny IDE for fast, efficient development on your ESP32/ESP8266.
Programming Fundamentals: Master core programming concepts, including arithmetic, comparison, bitwise, and boolean operators, as well as control structures, data types, and variables.
Wi-Fi and Networking: Learn how to connect your ESP32/ESP8266 to Wi-Fi, create access points, scan for networks, and manage network settings.
Advanced IoT Projects: Build real-world IoT applications, from deep sleep modes for power saving to dual-mode Wi-Fi projects for IoT systems.

Projects Include:

LED blink, button-controlled LED, and analog temperature sensors.
Simple ATM system, trigonometric calculator, and temperature conversion programs.
ESP32 deep sleep with timer, touchpad, and GPIO wake-up.
Advanced Wi-Fi projects like dual-mode Wi-Fi, network scanning, and creating hotspots.

This book includes all the resources you need to get started quickly, with easy-to-follow examples in both Arduino and MicroPython.
