ESP32 by Example: A Project Based Introduction to Microcontrollers and Drone Control

A Practical Introduction to Embedded Systems with the ESP32This book is intended for readers who are new to embedded systems and looking for a structured, example-driven way to begin. If you've explored general-purpose electronics or Arduino-based resources but found them too broad or lacking in practical application, this guide offers a more focused alternative.With a small, affordable set of components - such as LEDs, sensors, an OLED screen and a motion sensor - you'll build and work with the same hardware setup throughout the book. This allows you to focus on learning and experimenting without constant reconfiguration.Topics include:- Understanding and programming the ESP32 microcontroller- Using the Arduino IDE to write and deploy code- Exploring cyber-physical systems, culminating in basic drone control No prior experience with Arduino or embedded development is required. Each section includes hands-on examples and mini-projects designed to reinforce core concepts and encourage deeper exploration. By the end, you'll be equipped not only to reproduce the book's examples, but also to extend them toward your own ideas and applications.Whether your interest is in learning embedded programming, building interactive systems, or exploring educational drone control, this book provides a clear and practical path to getting started.
