Group Assignment

Use Test equipment in your lab to observe the operation of a microcontroller circuit board

For group assignment, we gathered at the MARS lab and Quentin gave a tutoriol on how to use different test equipments for debugging electronics. We learned about digital logic and he showed various electronics equipments, inclusing oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and multimeter.

Overview:

Kitchen ESP32: Collects audio, sends it to Google API, and posts results to the server.
Door ESP32: Retrieves reminders and displays them when proximity is detected.

This week, I practiced using KiCad, and I chose my microcontroller to be ESP32, as it has built-in Wi-Fi and bluetooth capabilities to allow me to communicate with different devices and servers remotely.

At this time, I didn't know about creating a section for grounding or making all the lines equal width. After weeks, I started to become much better at it! View my input & output devices week for better design. I still wanted to include this image to show how much I improved throughout few weeks!
