Programming Arduino UNO via WiFi with ESP8266 2

Introduction to Remote Programming of Arduino UNO via WiFi with ESP8266

This article will guide you through the methodology of remotely programming an Arduino UNO using ESP8266 modules, specifically focusing on NodeMCU and ESP01, utilizing the ESP-Link firmware. This firmware acts as a bridge, enabling WiFi and serial communication, thereby changing the way we interact with microcontroller boards like the Arduino UNO through ESP8266.

We have already addressed the topic of remote wireless programming via Bluetooth of an Arduino UNO in our previous article titled “Arduino Remote/wireless Programming” however, thanks to the feedback and questions from our readers, we have decided to delve even deeper into this subject, exploring the possibilities that WiFi connectivity offers.

ESP32 OTA update with Web Browser: HTTPS (SSL/TLS) and self signed certificate 0

ESP32 OTA update with Web Browser: upload in HTTPS (SSL/TLS) with self-signed certificate – 2

In this article, we will explore how to perform OTA updates on the ESP32 using a web browser and HTTPS protocol with a self-signed certificate. HTTPS provides a secure way to transfer data over the internet and is essential for any OTA update process that involves sensitive information. A self-signed certificate can be used to provide encryption and authentication without the need for a third-party certificate authority, making it a cost-effective solution for small-scale projects. By the end of this article, you will have a working OTA update process for your ESP32 project that uses HTTPS protocol and a self-signed certificate.

Raspberry Pi Pico, and other rp2040 boards: WiFiNINA with ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor 0

Raspberry Pi Pico, and other rp2040 boards: WiFiNINA with ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor

Even though Raspberry Pi Foundation has released the Pico W version, I still find this tutorial useful for adding WiFi to rp2040 boards using an ESP32.
We will use an esp32-wroom-32 (or esp32-s) as WiFi coprocessor and the full potential WiFiNINA library to handle it.
