The “How” (Implementation Details)

Key Decisions & Rationale: [Explain major design choices and why you made them.]

  • [Decision]: [e.g., Chose the ESP32 over a Raspberry Pi.]
  • [Reason]: [e.g., For its lower power consumption and integrated Wi-Fi, which were critical for a battery-powered device.]

Code Snippets & Command-Line Tricks: [Store useful snippets or commands that you often forget.]

  • [Description]: [e.g., Deep sleep wake-up code for ESP32]
  •   // Insert code snippet here
  • [Description]: [e.g., Flash command for the microcontroller]
  • [e.g., esptool.py --chip esp32 --port COM3 write_flash ...]

Challenges & Solutions: [Document the biggest roadblocks and how you overcame them.]

  • Challenge: [e.g., The sensor and another component had the same I2C address.]
  • Solution: [e.g., Modified the sensor’s address using a specific library function.]

Future Improvements: [A list of things you want to add or improve later.]

  • [e.g., Add a light sensor]
  • [e.g., Design a 3D-printed enclosure]
  • [e.g., Implement OTA (Over-The-Air) firmware updates]
