I am thinking more from a perspective if i want to produce such products in scale and volumes. I will not be able to sell it as-is. Each and every device has to have the n/w credentials hard coded.

Umesh Lokhande•9/28/24, 7:46 AM

To keep things simple in the beginning I'd suggest use ESP32 to interface sensors and manage WiFi capabilities. There are enough analog and digital pins to handle h/w interfaces. For sensor selection, you may need to research online to ensure that they serve the purpose (compare power consumption, nature of analog output, cost, handling complexity to achieve accuracy/calibration). As fas as IoT platform goes stay with Blynk which offers a web dashboard and mobile apps with multi-user access. There are also plenty of videos on YT to help you get started. Best wishes!

I have a project connected to Arduino Uno with ESP-01 for Wi-Fi and it is controlled via the Blynk platform. I want to write the Wi-Fi network name and password externally via webserver and not inside the code. Is there a method, video, article, research or someone who can help me with this? I am in dire need of help.

@kbrsi To allow you to configure the Wi-FiWi-Fi credentials for your ESP-01ESP-01 module externally through a web serverweb server, instead of hardcodinghardcoding them, you can use the WiFiManagerWiFiManager library. This will allow users to input the Wi-FiWi-Fi network name and password via a simple web interfaceweb interface. You can use this resources to guide you through the process:

In this guide you'll learn how to use WiFiManager with the ESP8266 board. WiFiManager allows you to connect your ESP8266 to different Access Points (AP) without having to hard-code and upload new code to your board. Additionally, you can also add custom parameters (variables) and manage multiple SSID connections.

Xar•9/29/24, 8:17 PM

Hello, web dev here! I'm looking into learning about embedded programming and have decided that a simple RTOS from scratch would be my project. I have no interest in doing anything useful with the final product, the moment I get 80% - 95% of learning value I plan stopping and learning mech-eng. I have a RP 4 that would make for a good final boss but I don't know what to buy as a tutorial and any other equipment?

also while ‘Making an RTOS’ might seem cooler you are better off ‘sending sensor data to a web dashboard’ which in itself is an iot project. Bonus points if you build everything from scratch (if its for learning purposes)

Marvin•9/30/24, 8:33 AM

Hey @everyone, There has been a lot of talk about this, I'm sure you have heard about it, and
wanted to get your take—especially from those of you knee-deep in real-world dev work.
We keep hearing about the shift toward "safer by design" languages like Rust,
particularly in safety-critical software. I can’t help but wonder how much of that
translates to the day-to-day realities of embedded development in our cases.
Take Google’s Android team, for instance—they’ve ditched unsafe languages for new
code, switching to Rust, and they claim a significant drop in memory vulnerabilities as a result.
I do think that is impressive.
But for those of us who’ve been in the trenches with C/C++ for years, is this push for
safety really as transformative as it seems?
Or are we trading old problems for new challenges?
Do you actively think about moving to safer languages? What are the barriers or benefits in your experience? Are you open to it,
or is the idea of leaving C/C++ behind still a bit too wild?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

ZacckOsiemo•9/30/24, 9:09 AM

Isn't the answer here it depends, And also when teams switch I wonder like for android the code that is switching is the AOSP code not the applications right? I feel like @Ming and @ke7c2mi would have gone through enough to have an opinion on this. I on the other hand think its trading between dieties

techielew•9/30/24, 9:19 AM

I don't think it's an either/or proposition. There's way too much installed C/C++ for it to 'go away'. In places where it makes sense, and you can realize efficiencies, people will use and learn Rust. But there are going to be multi-language devs and systems.

Marvin•9/30/24, 9:32 AM

I think there is a lot of work that still needs to go into making sure those multi-language systems can be built in a way that ensures no rewrites in the future. I say this because last I checked interop isn't at a great place, yet. Especially the interop between Rust and C++, with both having concepts that the other doesn't understand and is hard reconciling like Rust does not understand function overloading and C++ not having traits.
I agree with you though I think it will take some time. And this point, it becomes a matter of urgency but eventually the industry is taking that path.

MMarvin I think there is a lot of work that still needs to go into making sure those mul...

ZacckOsiemo•9/30/24, 9:35 AM

You could also interOp by API rather than by FFI then you can have your walled gardens

barafael•9/30/24, 9:42 AM

Disclaimer I'm a zealot and spent the last 4 years of my career coding (bare metal and distributed systems, also lots of "multi language interop"), mentoring, and teaching rust. And yes, I think it's about trading old problems for new challenges. The old problem is e.g. a hardfault if you are lucky, the new challenge is a compile error. For me this alone was transformative. Package/dependency mgmt, docs, and how rust does zero cost functional patterns did the rest. Also being able to define asynchronous io on mcus and have it translated to a perfect interrupt-driven state machine.
Rust is hard to learn for most, and it stays hard in some ways. And it's immature in some areas compared to others. But it's been so much fun.
