Gardens are dynamic spaces, ever-evolving canvases where creativity meets nature. Just like any project, sometimes it’s necessary to bid farewell to the old to make room for the new. In this journey of garden evolution, I found myself facing the task of removing an older project: the ESP8266 HomeKit Fountain Light. For years, this fountain

We have used a legacy GNU Makefile build in the previous HomeKit LED Example. Now need to migrate to CMake. A lot of people first getting into this wonderful space of embedded system design do so through Arduino, which uses C++ with many built-in functions. The new ESP-IDF uses CMake to configure the build system.

Since Espressif Systems arrived in our collective consciousness, they have expanded their range from the ESP8266 to the ESP32, and going beyond the original WROOM and WROVER modules to a range of further ESP32 products. There’s a single-core variant and one that packs a RISC-V core in place of the Tensilica one, and now they’ve
ESPC2-02 Wi-Fi and BLE coexistence Module is a highly integrated single-chip low power 802.11bgn Wireless LAN (WLAN) network controller. It combines a RISC CPU, WLAN MAC, a 1T1R capable WLAN baseband, RF, and Bluetooth in a single chip. It also provides a bunch of configurable GPIO, which are configured as digital peripherals for different applications

Thread is a new, energy-efficient networking technology found on the HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K (2021). Products from Nanoleaf, Eve and other manufacturers have also increasingly been made suitable for thread. What is it, and what can you do with it? You can read that here. What is Thread? Thread is an IP-based network
