Uri Shaked Reverse Engineers ESP32 WiFi
In this deep-dive presentation given at the 2021 Hackaday Remoticon, Uri Shaked puts on his reverse engineering hat and takes us through his fantastic work on the ESP32’s WiFi module internals. His strategy incorporates not just decompiling and debugging, but also directly simulating the ESP32, so that he can run code until it crashes, fix […]

Another great video about the ESP32 and its power saving modes. I need to dust off my soldering iron. We all know that we send our ESP32s to deep sleep to save energy. But do you know the other possibilities to save energy like light sleep and clock reduction? And what about modem sleep or […]

I have often wondered why use batteries and not supercapacitors. Supercapacitors are super like Superman or Superwoman. Otherwise, they only would be called “Capacitors.” Right? Where are they “super” and where not? Where can we use them, and how? And the most important question: Are they better than batteries?
