ESP32 IoT Development with C and FreeRTOS Basics

Connected devices are reshaping our world, but transitioning from software to hardware can feel overwhelming. This text-based course simplifies embedded systems development by walking you through the core concepts of the ESP32 microcontroller. You will transition from understanding basic electronic components to writing structured, multitasking C code using FreeRTOS, enabling you to build reliable and responsive Internet of Things (IoT) applications. What you'll learn: Understand the fundamental architecture of the ESP32 microcontroller and its hardware peripherals; Write clean, structured C code to interface with sensors, actuators, and analog-to-digital converters; Implement FreeRTOS multitasking to manage concurrent device operations, task queues, and synchronization; Configure secure wireless connections and apply basic IoT communication protocols; Apply modern power-management strategies, including deep sleep modes, for battery-operated devices. The course begins with foundational hardware terminology and C programming basics before guiding you through structured written exercises covering multitasking, memory management, and wireless communication. This program is designed for beginners in embedded systems, electronics hobbyists, and software developers looking to transition into hardware-level programming, with no prior microcontroller experience required.
