ESP32 OTA over 2G links kept timing out, so I push compressed firmware images over HTTP(s)/MQTT(s) instead – smaller, and far more reliable.

Compressed binary OTA firmware update for ESP32
Testing compressed binary OTA firmware update for #ESP32, similar to http://esptool.py's serial flash compression. Speeds up OTA by reducing the size of the image transfer over a sometimes unreliable/slow internet connection.. works over HTTPS and MQTTS #IoT
ESP32 OTA firmware update using MQTT over SSL
How my ESP32 nodes do OTA firmware updates over MQTT with SSL – a firmware notifications topic tells them when a new version is out.

TFT32 – ESP32 based IoT control hub/gateway with TFT, RFM69 and more
TFT32 is my ESP32 based IoT control hub/gateway with touch TFT and RFM69 – and why I want less cloud in my home automation.

cURL for ESP32 OTA
Even better idea: switch to cURL for #ESP32 OTA, that will enable OTA over gzip compressed http(s) sources, (s)ftp, ssh #IoT
GUI to monitor OTA updates to ESP32 TFT project
Added GUI to monitor OTA updates to #ESP32 TFT project

Testing 3D printed enclosure for #ESP32 TFT project #IoT, looks and feels much more finished now 🙂
SQLite DB on ESP32 on a SPIFFS partition
Experimenting with SQLite DB running on #ESP32, the database itself on a SPIFFS partition. I have some pretty interesting use cases in mind.. https://github.com/siara-cc/esp-idf #IoT
ESP32 graphical GUI resources in shared R/O SPIFFS
Moving #ESP32 graphical GUI resources to dedicated shared R/O SPIFFS partition to reduce main code partition sizes. This also decouples the code from GUI, allows easier branding/styling of the final product, but complicates OTA updates..
RFM69 for a LoRaWAN on my ESP32 TFT project
TO-DO: research project feasibility: swap the RFM69 for a LoRaWAN on my #ESP32 TFT project and use it as SIM-less urban car telemetry/location tracker
20 PCBs for revision 6 of my ESP32 TFT project
20 PCBs for revision 6 of my #ESP32 #TFT project arrived. I think that it is complete now, need to stop shelling money on perfecting it at least 🙂 Now awaiting components delivery to run a small batch SMD assembly. I will have few spares to sell late December
ESP32 OTA over MQTT TLS
Working on native #ESP32 OTA over MQTT (TLS), the use case is that I have devices behind restrictive firewalls that block outgoing HTTP(S) connections but allow MQTT over TLS
ESP32 GUI translation proof of concept works well
#ESP32 GUI translation proof of concept works well. Thanks for the translation tips! #IoT

ESP32 TFT project with a resistive touchscreen
Did another PCB revision to my #ESP32 TFT project to allow the use of a resistive touchscreen. Did that after seeing my daughter push the screen on a prototype of my non-touch version with a finger in an attempt to use the GUI.. obviously, button-controlled GUI is not intuitive

PCB revision for the ESP32 RFM69-to-MQTT gateway
Working on a PCB revision for the #ESP32 RFM69-to-MQTT gateway with TFT display. Added a piezo buzzer, htu21d TH sensor and a LDR for smarter screen dimming.
RTS/CTS for ESP8266 ESP32 auto-reset
Interesting http://esptool.py wrapper that lets you use RTS/CTS for #ESP8266 / #ESP32 auto-reset on firmware flashing instead of the usual RTS/DTR method. Saves a few components thus reducing project cost. Description and code here https://github.com/jimparis/esptool-ftdi
