Zaku-IDF is a firmware application developed for controlling and monitoring a robotic system using the ESP32 microcontroller and Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF). The firmware enables seamless integration with various sensors and actuators, facilitating real-time data acquisition, processing, and control operations.
- Sensor Integration: Interfacing with environmental sensors (e.g., DHT11), ultrasonic distance sensors, and infrared sensors for collecting crucial data about the robot's surroundings.
- MQTT Communication: Establishing communication with MQTT broker for publishing sensor data and subscribing to control commands, enabling seamless integration with IoT systems.
- Motor Control: Implementing PID controller for precise motor speed control based on sensor feedback, enhancing the robot's maneuverability and responsiveness.
- Data Logging: Logging sensor data to CSV files for further analysis, documentation, and visualization, facilitating comprehensive understanding and optimization of robot performance.
- Hardware Setup: Connect the required sensors and actuators to the ESP32 microcontroller according to the pin configurations specified in the code.
- Software Configuration: Customize MQTT broker settings, Wi-Fi credentials, and sensor parameters as needed for your application.
- Build and Flash: Compile the firmware using ESP-IDF toolchain and flash it to the ESP32 device.
- Monitor Operation: Monitor the operation of the robot through MQTT messages or by accessing the generated CSV files containing sensor data.
