About this course
ESP32 and ESP8266 are among the most widely used microcontrollers for connected projects because they combine a capable processor with built-in Wi-Fi, and in the ESP32 case Bluetooth Low Energy. This course teaches you to build wireless nodes that connect reliably, report sensor data and can be controlled remotely.
You learn connection handling and reconnection logic, local web servers, MQTT and HTTP communication, over-the-air updates and power considerations. The goal is a device that behaves well on a real network, not only on a classroom desk.
Who is this course for?
- Learners who have completed Arduino basics
- Engineering students planning a connected-device project
- Developers moving from software to hardware
- Makers building home-automation and monitoring devices
Eligibility
For learners with basic microcontroller experience or who have completed an Arduino-level course. Exact eligibility is confirmed at enrollment.
Prerequisites recommended
Arduino-style programming (variables, functions, reading sensors). Basic understanding of Wi-Fi networks.
Syllabus: 7 modules
1ESP32 and ESP8266 platform
- Architecture differences: cores, memory, radios, GPIO capabilities

- BLE beacon-style presence indicator
These are example exercises and project concepts for this course, not a record of projects completed by past learners.
Outcomes, career directions and limits
Skills you should be able to demonstrate
- Build ESP32 nodes that join Wi-Fi and recover from disconnections
- Publish and subscribe with MQTT using sensible topic design
- Expose a simple local web interface and JSON API from a device
- Reduce power use with sleep modes and explain the trade-offs
- Update device firmware over the air
Relevant career directions
- IoT device development trainee roles after further practice
- Home-automation and prototype development
- Foundation for cloud-connected product development
What this course does not do
- Security hardening and production certification are introduced but not covered in full; see the IoT Cybersecurity course.
- RF design and antenna engineering are out of scope.
Career outcomes depend on your skills, portfolio, experience and employer requirements. No course can guarantee a job.

Should I learn ESP32 or ESP8266?
ESP32 is generally the better choice for new projects because it has more resources, Bluetooth and more peripherals. ESP8266 is still common in existing low-cost products, so the course explains the differences.
Is ESP32 programmed in Arduino or in its own framework?
It can be programmed with the Arduino core, which is what most learners start with, or with Espressif's ESP-IDF for more control. The course starts with the Arduino core and introduces ESP-IDF concepts.
Do I need a cloud account?
You can complete most exercises with a local or public MQTT broker. Any cloud accounts used are explained at the start of the relevant module.
Does this course cover LoRa?
LoRaWAN is covered conceptually in the IoT Networking and Wireless Communication course rather than as a hands-on module here.
