Reviews key concepts in probability, including random variables (discrete and continuous), probability distributions (PMF and PDF), expectation and variance, joint distributions, conditional expectation, and complex queries involving random variables.

In projects involving the ESP32, internal flash storage may be insufficient, necessitating the use of a Micro SD card. However, many people encounter SD card instability even when following a guide. This post provides steps to troubleshoot SD card failures, including following instructions, trying different SD cards, checking voltage requirements, measuring voltage with a multimeter, and optimizing power supply connection.

The ESP32 microcontroller has an internal Real-Time Clock (RTC) with limitations in maintaining time during power loss. To overcome this, an external RTC module, such as DS1307, DS3231, can be integrated with the ESP32. This requires wiring the module to the ESP32, using I2C or other interfaces, and optionally connecting a backup battery. Example code is provided for setting up the external RTC and synchronizing with NTP servers for accurate timekeeping in IoT applications.

Today, I published my first YouTube video explaining the system design for my ESP32 data logger project and demoing the React front end for the ESP32. While the video was generally well done, I identified several areas for improvement. Qiwei Mao, Atlanta GA.

By organizing files into subdirectories, using binary formats, maintaining in-memory metadata, and optimizing file structures for both writing and reading, you can significantly improve the I/O performance of your ESP32 data logger.

This code is for an ESP32-based data logging system, utilizing various libraries and APIs for handling tasks such as data logging, wireless communication, and configuration management.

Explain how the master node performs scheduled tasks such as polling data, time synchronization, and configuration verification. Additionally, it handles web API commands triggered by a flag. The main control loop checks the current time and executes tasks at specified intervals, ensuring efficient coordination and communication within the network. The implementation includes a flow chart for clarity and detailed steps for setting up time synchronization and task scheduling.
