GETTING START WITH ESP32 AND ARDUINO

Getting to know your ESP32 In this project, we will learn the following What is ESP32? The features of ESP32 and how it compares to the wildly popular ESP8266. So lets dive right into the world of the ESP32.

★ The ESP32 is a SOC or system on chip microcontroller It is manufactured by Espressif, a Shanghai-based company with an expertise in Low Power IOT solutions . It was introduced at the end of 2016. The ESP32 can be called as the successor to the IOT enthusiasts favorite the ESP8266. It is specifically designed for low power IOT or the Internet of Things applications. So what makes the ESP32 stand out?

★Lets take a closer look at its primary features and how the ESP32 compares to the ESP8266 Let us look at the CPO first the ESB 32 contains two low power dense silica extends out 32 bit microprocessors. Lets look at the CPU first. The ESP32 contains two low power Tensilica Xtensa 32-bit microprocessors This is an upgrade over its predecessor, the ESP8266, which just had a single core Tensilica Xtensa 32-bit microprocessor.

★The ESP32 is clocked at a faster 160 MHz CPU and can be clocked up to a maximum of 240 MHz. 160 MHz CPU and can be clocked up to a maximum of 240 MHz. All of this means overall better performance and faster computation. The ESP32 has faster Wi-Fi built right into it when compared to the ESP8266.

★This is a huge deal because this allows the ESP32 based development boards to be truly wireless, , unlike traditional microcontroller boards like the Arduino. The ESP32 implements full TCP/IP, b/g/n/e/i WLAN MAC protocol.
