Hero Shot

Assignments for the Week

Group Assignment:

  • Send a message between two projects.

Link to the group Assignment is here

key takeaways from this week

  • It was really delightful to communicate with two different boards with different medium of communication protocols available.

  • While making connection with the components, we need to check the continuity of jumper wires because in some cases I found that some of the jumper wires are not working which consumed my time unnecessarily debugging the issue..

Individual Assignment:

  • Design, build, and connect wired or wireless nodes with network or bus addresses and local input or output devices.

For this embedded networking and communication week, I used my own micro controller board which I had made during electronics design week for which the link is given here

Since this week being the networking and communication, I tried to communicate between Xiao RP2040 and Xiao ESP32C3. I kept the Xiao Rp2040 as the master board and Xiao ESP32C3 as a slave board. After that I connected the external LED to one of the pin in Xiao ESP32C3 and run the command “LED ON” and “LED OFF” in serial monitor of Xiao RP2040 and observed that the LED is blinking on and off.

This was the mistake which I had made while uploading the code as I had selected the wrong port so the code was not uploading. Next I selected the right port, then only my code got uploaded.

Files for the week:

It was really nice in learning embedded programing and especially while using Blynk app I was really interested in exploring many new things.
