Electronic, 3D printing and embedded programming
Wired connectivity refers to the use of physical cables to establish connections between devices and networks for internet access and data transmission. This type of connectivity is known for its reliability, high-speed data transfer rates, and enhanced security compared to wireless connections. It typically involves Ethernet cables, USB cables, or fiber optics to connect devices directly to a network router or switch, providing a stable and secure connection ideal for environments where high performance and security are critical. Wired connections are less susceptible to interference and do not suffer from signal degradation over distance, making them suitable for office buildings, data centers, and other settings requiring robust network performance.
Wireless sensor nodes are revolutionizing connectivity by collecting and transmitting real-time data. These small, battery-powered devices transform industries like agriculture and healthcare, promising enhanced efficiency, scalability, and a smarter, more connected future.
But which ones to choose
This integration involves connecting the LAN8720 Ethernet module with the ESP32 microcontroller to enable wired network connectivity. The process includes configuring the ESP32 to recognize and communicate through the LAN8720 module, ensuring compatibility with both plain text (HTTP) and encrypted (HTTPS) SSL data transmissions.
