Hello world!

Hi! My name is Nuno Santos and I created this blog to share some knowledge about electronics, programming and technology with others.

I’ve been mainly writing about microcontrollers, with special focus on Espressif’s chips: the ESP32 and the ESP8266.

My first contact with these chips was a couple years ago when doing my master’s thesis, where I used the ESP8266 as a serial to WiFi adapter, to extend the communication capabilities of an Arduino board.

At that time, the chip was sold at eBay as a generic serial to WiFi adapter and few people knew its true capabilities.  Since then, the ecosystem around Espressif’s chips has evolved tremendously, and I really appreciate exploring and writing about the capabilities of these devices.

Additionally, I’m interested in many other technological areas, which I also like to explore. So, I intend to expand the blog content to other areas, such as general programming, computer vision, databases, etc…

I blog as a hobby, mainly to learn new stuff and share my findings with the community. So, I have very few limited time to write, which I try to balance with my daily job and other hobbies I have.

Nonetheless, I’ll try to keep posting regularly, as I take great joy in writing these articles and learn more every day. 

So, I hope this content helps others in creating their personal projects and have some fun while doing it 🙂
