New chips: ESP32 and ATmega328PB

Some of my favorite small micro-controller platforms (as you might have seen if you have been reading this blog) are Arduino and ESP8266. It seems that there is going ot be some upgrades to those platforms this year.

ESP32

ESP8266 chip is used to build  WiFi modules for serial-to-WiFi conversion and Internet of Things applications. ESP8266 turned to be IoT maker’s favorite component for a good reason: Espressif turned the IoT game on its head by releasing a chip with WiFi and a decent embedded processor for under $1 in bulk, and costing not much more than that in a module. A little more than a year ago, the ESP8266 WiFi module showed up uneventfully in Seeed Studio’s store. During the year 2015 the ESP8266 turned to be success because it was “good enough” (it has it’s limitations) and price was cheaper than practically anything else in the market. Now it is widely available in various module formats (NodeMcu dev kit being my favorite for quick hacks) and supported by lots many programming tools.

Now Espressif looking to repeat the success of the ESP8266 with the ESP32, , that should be coming out in 2016. Espressif has been working on the next generation of powerful WiFi-enabled tiny, cheap systems for some time. They have their silicon ready and there are beta test kits already. The ESP32 Beta Units Arrive article tells that are two Tensilica L108 processors running at up to 160MHz, a lot of peripherals including ADCs, DACs, I2C, SPI, I2S, and PWM, more RAM, AES and SSL for security, and Bluetooth Low Energy. WiFi has also been upgraded. It’s already shortlisted as the best new chip of 2016, but other than that, there’s not much more information.

While the features are great, Espressif has said the ESP32 is not a replacement for the ESP8266. They’re different markets, and if you just wanted to add WiFi to a project, there’s no reason not to choose the ESP8266.

ATmega328PB

Most Arduino boards, like for example well known Arduino UNO are based on ATmega328 micro-controller from Atmel (there are nowadays also many Arduinos that use different CPUs). It seem that with ATmega328 you never have enough peripherals for everything you might want to do.  Whether it’s hardware-driven PWM channels, ADCs, or serial communication peripherals, we always end up wanting just one more of these but don’t really need so many of those. Bye-bye ATmega328P, Hello 328PB! posting at Hackaday tells that  Atmel’s new version of the popular ATmega328 series, the ATmega328PB, seems to have heard our pleas. ATmega328PB combines 32kB ISP Flash memory with read-while-write capabilities, 1kB EEPROM, 2kB SRAM, 27 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, five flexible timer/counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, two USARTs with wake-up on start of transmission, two byte-oriented 2-wire serial interfaces, two SPI serial ports, 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter, programmable watchdog timer with internal oscillator, a unique serial number and six software selectable power saving modes. The device operates between 1.8-5.5 volts. The ATmega328PB supports capacitive sensors: 24 buttons in self-capacitance mode, or up to 144 buttons in mutual-capacitance mode. This ATmega328PB does not native USB thing in it, so if you need USB support, look at the ATmega32U4 as used in Arduino Leonardo board.

So what does this mean for you? It seems that chips are shipping right now, and there’s an inexpensive dev kit available as well. If you write your own code in C,you should be pretty ready to use new feature. With Arduino you might need to wait until new chips find their way to Arduino boards (there does not seem to be DIP version you could plug to Arduino UNO socket) and support for it on Arduino IDE is added (unless you can hack it to it yourself).

Here is ATmega328PB chip pin-out from summary:

    GitHub ESP32 OTA Updates, Now In MicroPython Flavor

    Wouldn’t it be great if you could keep all of your small Internet-connected hacks up to date with a single codebase? A couple of weeks ago, we wrote up a project that automagically pulls down OTA updates to an ESP32 from GitHub, using the ESP32 C SDK. [Pascal] asked in the comments, “but what about MicroPython?” Gauntlet thrown, [TURFPTAx] wrote ugit.py – a simple library that mirrors all of the code from a public GitHub Python repo straight to your gizmo running Micropython.

    Wireless ArtNet LED controllers – request for help!

    A couple of years ago I built some ESP32-powered wifi ArtNet LED controllers for a commercial project – the code for this is up and available here still: https://github.com/phuvf/wireless_artnet_led_controller

    I’ve recently had a enquiry from a student who is looking to control some body-mounted LED pixel tape for a dance event. I thought I’d port the old project over to the M5StickC platform as it’s good off-the-shelf hardware for the job.

    Belfore I dive into making this project work, I thought it’s be worth checking what solutions are already on the market for this. Here’s what we’re looking for:

    - Wireless (wifi, wDMX or 433Mhz etc) LED pixel control
    - Battery powered, body-wearable receiver
    - Support for one univers of data (512 channels)
    - Capable of c. 25 fps

    Any suggestions to avoid me re-inventing the wheel?

    Cheers!

    Cheap Kitchen Scale Learns To Speak JSON With ESP32
    https://hackaday.com/2023/02/02/cheap-kitchen-scale-learns-to-speak-json-with-esp32/

    Smart kitchen appliances are expensive, and more often than not, your usage data goes to whichever company operates the inevitable cloud service. Meanwhile the cheap ones contain substantially the same components without the smarts, so surely a hardware hacker can add a microcontroller to a cheap appliance for a bit of smart home technology without the privacy issues? It’s something [Liore] has done with an Amazon Basics kitchen scale, removing the electronics and wiring up an ESP32 to the load cell instead.

    The Wheatstone bridge load cell circuit generates a tiny voltage difference that’s far too small for an ESP32 to measure, so in between the pair is an Avia Semiconductor HX711 strain gauge amplifier module. In addition, there’s a small OLED screen and the two buttons used in the Amazon scale are wired in too, providing the the kitchen scale functionality you’d expect.

    Turning a $10 kitchen scale into a WiFi smart scale for Home Assistant
    https://liore.com/arduino-esp32-load-cell-kitchen-scale-home-assistant/

    Over the years I’ve seen a few posts on Reddit demonstrating the use of a load cell with an internet-connected microcontroller as a weight-based filament sensor for 3D printing. I decided to embark upon a similar project, retrofitting a $10 kitchen scale.

    MicroPython ESP32 IDE Makes Life Simpler
    https://hackaday.com/2023/02/07/micropython-esp32-ide-makes-life-simpler/

    In theory, using MicroPython on the ESP32 is easy — just flash an image and connect using a serial port. But that leaves a lot of things you still have to do. You need to move files between the two platforms. You’ll want to manage network configurations. You might want better editing and assistance, too. So there are a number of IDEs made to help you and one we recently noticed was MPY-Jama.

    The IDE provides source code editing, of course. But it also allows you to do things like pull information about the network using a dashboard or connect to a WiFi network easily. You can even create your own AP with a simple interface.

    We all love Microcontrollers and Smartphones. Unfortunately, they do not work well together because not everybody can create Smartphone apps and connect them via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to an ESP32. Arduinos are even more complicated because they do not offer communication. This is why I like the project I will show you today: Its name is RemoteXY. Of course, it uses the Arduino IDE!

    Viewer comments:

    I think it is. A single processor with wifi, bluetooth and zigbee, at that price, is a game changer.

    Nice explanation , i wonder if C6 supports the new protocol ( Matter ) that is implementation of both Thread and Zigbee ?
    Based on what I can see from Espressif‘s GitHub the esp-matter software should support the C6. I haven’t tried it myself though, so no guarantees :-)

    Much Better VGA From An ESP32
    https://hackaday.com/2023/06/28/much-better-vga-from-an-esp32/

    The ESP32 series from Espressif have been a successful line of products, offering a powerful microcontroller with on-chip wireless networking. There’s a snag though in their practice of calling all of them ESP32s despite wildly varying specifications and even different processor cores, such that it’s easy to lose track of exactly what the chip in front of you can do. [Bitluni] was faced with updating his VGA library to include a newer variant, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it includes a far more capable display peripheral which enables significantly higher resolutions than previously.

    The part in question is the ESP32-S3, a version of the chip with the dual Extensa cores we’re familiar with from earlier versions, but the interesting addition of an LCD controller. His previous VGA on ESP32 used the I2S peripheral and sacrificed some of the available bits to create sync pulses, while this version is not only faster but also includes dedicated sync hardware. He can now do up to 16-bit colour in as much as 1024×768 resolution as can be seen in the video below the break, though this feat requires a slightly out of spec framerate that only works on some screens. It’s by no means perfect because the peripheral is intended for LCD rather than VGA use, but it’s pushing microcontroller VGA to new heights and we look forward to any other uses people will put it to.

    Olimex has announced a low-cost development board built around the Espressif Systems ESP32-S3 microcontroller — and offering the ability to run either MicroPython or a full Linux 6.3 environment, depending on your needs.

    Olimex Launches the ESP32-S3-DevKit-LiPo, a Compact Dev Board With MicroPython and Linux Powers

    GPL-licensed open hardware board can be a MicroPython microcontroller or a Linux single-board computer, depending on your needs.

    “ESP32-S3-DevKit-LiPo is small €12 [around $13.30] open source hardware board which is [able] to run Linux Kernel 6.x and MicroPython,” Olimex founder Tsvetan Usunov writes of his latest board design, which as the name implies is a follow-up to the ESP32-S2-DevKit-LiPo launched back in February 2021 — replacing the Espressif ESP32-S2 with an ESP32-S3 while adding a few new features besides.

    While many users get them confused, microcontroller development boards and single-board computers are very different things. Single-board computers can run full operating systems, like your desktop PC or laptop does. Microcontroller development boards, like those from Arduino, are usually limited to simpler firmware. But as microcontrollers become more powerful, the line gets blurrier. To prove that, Naveen Kumar built an ultra-low-powered portable Linux computer based on the new Arduino Nano ESP32 development board
