Building FOFOCA: An Open-Source AI Robot with ESP32, ESP32-C3, and Edge AI
FOFOCA is an open-source reference design for an AI-governed household robot, built around a Raspberry Pi 5 brain, an ESP32 for real-time motor control and sensor polling, and an ESP32-C3 driving an OLED status display over MQTT. This article walks through the hardware architecture, the firmware running on each Espressif chip, and how all of it connects to a local edge AI server running NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 8B for inference — no cloud dependency required.


Floating-Point Units on Espressif SoCs: Why (and when) they matter
·11 mins
In this article, you’ll learn what an FPU is, why it’s useful, which Espressif SoCs feature one, and how it impacts performance through a benchmark.

Debugging with ESP-IDF VS Code extension: Part 2
This two-part guide shows how to set up VS Code with the ESP-IDF extension to debug Espressif boards using JTAG. In this second part, we will debug a simple project using gdb through Espressif’s VSCode extension. We will explore the debugging options for navigating the code and inspecting the variables.

Debugging with ESP-IDF VS Code extension: Part 1
This two-part guide shows how to set up VS Code with the ESP-IDF extension to debug Espressif boards using JTAG. This first part covers the debugging process, hardware setup and connections, and starting the openOCD server.

ESP-IDF Tutorials: Soft-AP
This tutorial guides you through setting up a soft-AP using an Espressif module and ESP-IDF. It covers the process of creating a project, configuring Wi-Fi, and handling connection events through event loops. Upon completion, you’ll be able to establish a soft-AP and manage Wi-Fi connections. It is the first step to building more advanced networking applications.
