✅ c14: networking and communications

For the networking and communications class, we went deeper into the different ways we can connect devices to each other. Going mainly over wireless methods like WiFi and Bluetooth and other methods with wires like USB. We also saw some different devices such as the raspberry pi as well as our very own esp32 Adafruit microcontroller, and how they can configured to communicate with other devices.

The assignment for this week was to use 2 microcontrollers on 2 different laptops and either use USB or Bluetooth / WiFi in order to make them interact and communicate. Having already tried working with Bluetooth and Wifi for my 3rd microchallenge, I decided to opt for a simple USB tutorial, together with Julia and later with the help of Roberto, we managed to use Arduino’s serial monitor screen in order to send messages to each other through our 2 ESP32 devices.
