Stacey Higginbotham’s weekly Internet of Things news update and analysis.
Best explanation I have ever seen (so far).
Does it fit?
Will it fit? is always the first test. Pugh, it did! Now it should work to…
Eventually this will be a wireless CAN4VSCP gateway. Oh well it already is but still some more programming is needed. VSCP tcp/ip link interface, UDP, MQTT, BLE for this wifi device. OTA updateable of course.
Also a HAN P1 interface board entered the office today. Interfacing electricity meters is popular today.
The pcb’s are made by jlcpcb and I am VERY satisfied with the service and quality from them. There is nothing like it. Important is that I don’t get a single cent from anyone to tell you that.
Espressif ESP32-C3
If you work with esp32-c3 or plan to work with it, this project might come in handy as a JTAG debug setup.
I really love the esp32-c3 for it’s built in JTAG. Just connect USB to the chip and it gives you a JTAG interface and a serial channel. No extra hardware needed. I am in Love! Definitely! Even the price is very good.
The setup makes it easy to connect to openocd and gdb and get every bug out of your code. Take a look.

Btw: If you work with other eps32’s the setup can be used for them also but need an external JTAG adapter.
OK – Back again

Again it’s time to say thank you to the VSCP project sponsors. Your support has been of more value for the project then I can express. This month there was some extra money in the sponsor transfer (I don’t know the origin for this money), a very generous amount. I will use this money for components for the new projects coming up after the the summer vacation. All free and open as always.
Thanks again!
Lastly I wish everyone a happy midsummer.
Not easy to be in the electronics business these days.
