This project is a hardware solution that leverages the power of the ESP32 to bridge local communication interfaces, such as serial and (in the future) I2C, to a WiFi network. It allows devices with traditional communication interfaces to be accessed and controlled over WiFi.
-
Interface Bridging: Convert and expose devices using:
- Serial interface (current implementation)
- I2C interface (planned for future releases)
-
WiFi Connectivity:
- Connect to an existing WiFi network.
- Broadcast its own Access Point (AP) for direct connections.
-
Status Indicators:
- Serial Communication:
- RX LED: Lights up when the device receives data.
- TX LED: Lights up when the device transmits data.
- WiFi Indicators:
- Connection LED: Lights up when the device is connected to an external WiFi.
- AP LED: Lights up when the device is broadcasting its own Access Point.
- Serial Communication:
- Designed in KiCad.
- ESP32-WROOM-32U as the main microcontroller.
- KiCad for viewing and editing the design files.
- A compatible power source for the board.
- Power the board: Connect the board to a suitable power source.
- Connection:
- For Serial: Connect your serial device to the designated serial port.
- For I2C (Future): Connect your I2C device to the designated I2C connectors.
- WiFi:
- Connect to an existing WiFi: Set the credentials in the firmware and upload to the ESP32.
- Use as AP: The board will automatically broadcast its AP if it fails to connect to the saved networks.
Details about how users can configure the firmware for specific WiFi networks, adjust baud rates for serial communication, or other configuration details.
- Integration of the I2C interface.
- Firmware updates over the air.
