WEEK 14 - Networking and Communications
Checklist:
- Design, build and connect wired or wireless node(s) with network or bus addresses and a local interface.
Learnings from the group assignment
During the group project, we tested various types of communication, but we achieved the best results using Wi-Fi with two Seeeduino XIAO ESP32C3 boards. My contribution was to explain the code and how the components involved in the MQTT protocol communication.

Programming and design process and Results
Connections before the programming
For this assignment, I initially tried to communicate between my boards using serial communication but was unsuccessful. Due to time constraints, I decided to switch to I2C communication, which allowed the boards to communicate seamlessly.

Communication using i2C
To communicate between the boards, I used only one computer, connecting the boards to three different USB ports. This allowed me to read the real-time information from each board and verify that the commands ("a" and "b") were being sent correctly.
