Week 11



Networking and Communication



As one of my catchup weeks I got to play with an ESP32 Cam. In theory this would be great to place on Belle's wheelchair so I can see what she sees, just incase she wanders off. Once getting things sorted out, I could live stream myself! YAY!


After a bit of coding using online sources, I was able to get the camera up and running!


I milled the board fairly quickly. My board design was based off of Neils. I used a different pinout and trace layout. This allowed easy access to the programming switch and FTDI cable, minimized board size, and kept the antenna hanging off the board.


A bit of orientation was required, but an awesome shot of the drill press came out of it! Just kidding, I could work on the focus a bit.





In all my projects friends from outside of the class were voluntold to help me with my projects. As I incorporated those around me their interest in the class grew. Hopefully, they will make it through the application cycle!
