Graphing with Environment Sensors
A few years ago, I started dabbling with the ESP chips that have become so popular. For me, the ease of WiFi, and the Arduino compatibility meant that I was able to get up and running much faster. Not having a background in electrical engineering, the simple things like having a good base with the PCB, a couple sensors built-in and easy expansion makes all the difference. Before the ESP chips, I’d tried several other wireless communication chips that were each challenging in their own way. Since my ultimate goal is to report the sensor data to a monitoring service, getting up the stack so that I could use IP communication was a big win, and the ESP chips are perfect for this. ...
