Tinker Thoughts

PTSolns partnered with Jameco Electronics for a special two-part guest blog series, “Getting Started with the ESP32 microWatt.” In Part 1 readers learn how to set up the ESP32 microWatt development environment in the Arduino IDE, connect hardware, and run their first sketches, making it easy for beginners to start building connected devices.
Part 2 dives deeper into the ESP32’s built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, flexible GPIO pins, and sensor integration, showing how to create practical IoT applications for real-world use. From weather stations to smart home automation, this series is ideal for makers, engineers, and educators looking to unlock the full potential of the ESP32 microcontroller for embedded systems and electronics prototyping.
