It uses some smart tricks to get the job done.
4 forgotten gadgets an ESP32 can resurrect on the cheap
Don't toss that old gadget yet, a cheap ESP32 can bring it back
I built a mesh network from old ESP32 boards instead of buying a new router, and my smart home coverage is better now
Turning spare parts into a private mesh
A box of cheap sensors taught me more about the ESP32 than any tutorial
I ditched ESP32 tutorials for a $20 sensor kit, and that made all the difference
I turned Wi-Fi signal into a home motion sensor using an ESP32, and it now controls my smart devices
It's what my Home Assistant server was missing all along
ESP32 boards expose different pins, and using the wrong one silently breaks your project
Check the datasheet before you solder.
Your ESP32 has a secret processor that keeps working while the rest of the chip is asleep
You may not know about the third CPU core on your chip, but it's highly useful
