ESP32 and Arduino are tiny computer boards that help people build electronic projects, like smart home devices, robots, or sensors. Arduino is known for being beginner-friendly, while ESP32 is more powerful and has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which makes it great for wireless projects. These boards can be programmed to control lights, read temperatures, or even connect to the internet.
They’re popular with hobbyists, students, and engineers because they make it easy to turn ideas into working gadgets. You write simple code on your computer, send it to the board, and it makes the project come to life. Together, ESP32 and Arduino give people a fun and hands-on way to learn electronics and programming.
