According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the Commodore 64 (C64) is officially the best-selling desktop computer model of all time. but is strangely overlooked in many computer histories. In this book Jesper Juul argues that the C64 was so popular because it was so versatile, a machine developers and users would reinvent again and again over the course of 40 years.

This book reveals what you can do with the ESP32's GPIO lines together with widely used sensors, servos and motors and ADCs. After covering the GPIO, outputs and inputs, events and interrupts, Harry Fairhead gives you hands-on experience of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), the SPI bus, the I2C bus and the 1-Wire bus, the UARTs and, of course, WiFi. To round out, Harry covers direct access to the hardware, adding an SD Card reader, sleep states to save power, the RTC, RMT and touch sensors. He also devotes a chapter to FreeRTOS which takes us into the realm of asynchronous processing.
