ESP32 Features Demo

In this video we look at the amazing features packed into the tiny ESP32. The ESP32 has: WiFi, DeepSleep, Hall Sensor, Capacative Touch sensors, Bluetooth, BLE, High Speed variable frequency/variable duty cycle PWM, Low speed variable frequency/variable duty cycle PWM.

    ..totally excellent man!!!!

    Hey there Paul, I had a thought about your PSU that won't calibrate! (sum ting wong). It might simply be the PSU meter that is the problem. El cheapo meter might have a bad shunt, resistor or digital IC. Just a thought.. Leave it on with a light (non varying) load and a 'good' DMM connected (at least 20 mins) and see if PSU meter drifts relative to DMM.. Good luck.
  • So many features. When they get all the features integrated into the Arduino ide it will be awesome. Thanks, Paul another good tutorial!
  • Paul, I've been having some problems with my ESP32's RSSI. I'm trying to make edu8s.ts's web radio and having problems connecting to some of his suggested sites. I think it might be an RSSI low level causing a lot of retries. Long way around to the question, background. Did you do any testing of the difference in using a ESP32 with/without and IPX external antenna? I'll buy one if the results are better. Is your code: paulics still good? Looks like you have to solder on the ESP32 SMD module?

    It would have been an interesting test to see what the power consumption was with both WiFi and Bluetooth active concurrently (I understand these can co-exist).  Given approx 110ma for WiFi and 140ma for Bluetooth (in your seperate operation tests), I guess worse case would be these added together, although I'd expect somewhat less than that. Perhaps it goes up to around 200ma with both radios running concurrently? And of course, how much further this pushed up the temperature. :-)

    Breadboard is any brand or some particular model?
  • @tuscanguy1
    Hi I am wondering if this device can be used to transmit a temperature difference. I understand that there is a temperature sensor input and an ADC. So if I want to use 2 temperature sensors , can I program 2 of the pins to be temperature inputs or would I have to use the adc for one of the two sensors?
  • Hey, I'm just now getting into Arduino and I've started messing around with the ESP32. I am having some trouble getting the software to recognize the library. I've watched a few videos from Andreas Spiess on how to incorporate the library but it still produces an error message. So far I've followed these steps: 1. Installed latest version of Arduino from Arduino.cc 2. Installed Python V2.7 3. Installed GIT client 4. Downloaded the zip file 5. Copy and pasted each line of the directory. I'm running Windows 8.1. Are there any other steps that I'm missing?

    as the can isnt connected to the chip, its probably going to be even hotter inside :P but mine also seems to pull more power than yours, i measured 160 to 170 mA for mine
  • Is it possible that you can have this thing turned on for a long time if you were to glue it upside down onto some kapton tape and use thermal paste between the esp and kapton tape as well as putting some thermal paste on the inner part of the esp32 to remove the heat? I run a lot of LEDs on my esp32 along with a mic which causes it to get pretty damn hot.

    how to disconnect bluetooth from esp32
  • Hi. Following your example about hall sensor, I change the serial speed to 115200. Now, I can't stop the program. If I try to upload a new sketch, I got an connection error, probably because the serial is busy. Have you any idea about to reset the board? (the reset button doesnt work) thx in advance
  • Does it still operate while in sleep? Otherwise what's so special about the sleep function?
  • Agghhhh !!!! There is no such thing as amperage it's current your measuring current in amperes. Other then that good video dude.
