  • Week 15: Networking and Communications

    This week you will learn how to establish communication between two or more PCBs that you made. The recommended route this year is to use one of the wireless capable XIAO boards, such as the XIAO ESP32C or XIAO nRF52840.

      Follow the steps below to complete your assignment.

      • Explore the WiFi capabilities of the XIAO ESP32C3 board.
      • Plug it into one of the boards you produced earlier.
      • Program the XIAO board to spawn an Access Point and create a simple REST API.
      • The REST API should have endpoints for controlling output device(s) of your board as well as reading input.
      • Document as you go and publish content on a page on your documentation website.
