Video description

This course will provide you deeper insights into the features of the ESP32 board, that you didn't even imagine. You will be able to make your products or projects user-friendly by implementing OTA Programming and WiFi Manager. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of RTOS and its applications. Understand FreeRTOS and be able to implement it to optimize your projects or products.

Finally, you will learn to drastically reduce the power consumption of the ESP32 board, by implementing deep sleep and leveraging the ULP Coprocessor of the ESP32 in your products or projects.

What You Will Learn

  • Integrate WiFi Manager to your projects to make WiFi Configuration much easier
  • Understand FreeRTOS in-depth and be able to implement it to optimize your projects
  • Reduce the power consumption of the ESP32 by using deep sleep
  • Learn basic ULP coprocessor programming for deep sleep

Audience

If you are an engineer, a hobbyist or a student, who wants to learn and implement advanced concepts like Over The Air Programming, FreeRTOS and Ultra-Low Power Consumption in your ESP32 Projects or Products, then this course is for you. This is an advanced level course and experience with ESP32, and Arduino IDE is essential to follow this course.
