Move Beyond ESP32 Demos. Engineer Connected Firmware Built for the Real World.
Embedded C Programming with ESP32 is a practical, production-focused guide to building reliable connected embedded systems with ESP-IDF, FreeRTOS, WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy, MQTT, cloud integration, OTA updates, and modern firmware security.
If you can make an ESP32 blink an LED but want to build devices that can survive unreliable networks, manage concurrent tasks, protect credentials, conserve battery power, recover from faults, and update safely in the field, this book gives you the engineering path from prototype to deployable product.
Rather than treating the ESP32 as a collection of convenient APIs, you will develop the system-level understanding needed to reason about the hardware, software framework, memory, peripherals, wireless stack, real-time behavior, networking, security, and deployment lifecycle that professional connected products demand.
Build a Complete ESP32 Engineering Skill Set
Starting with the ESP32 architecture and ESP-IDF development environment, you will learn how dual-core execution, memory, boot flow, project components, CMake, Kconfig, GPIO, interrupts, timers, ADC, PWM, UART, SPI, I2C, storage, and peripheral drivers fit together. You will then move into FreeRTOS task scheduling, synchronization, queues, event-driven design, resource sharing, and debugging for concurrent firmware.
From there, the book expands into connected product engineering: reliable WiFi operation, Bluetooth LE with NimBLE, TCP/IP, HTTP(S), WebSockets, TLS, MQTT messaging, cloud integration with AWS IoT Core and Azure IoT Hub, and self-hosted Mosquitto brokers.
Learn the Skills That Separate a Prototype from a Product
- Develop maintainable ESP32 firmware with ESP-IDF and Embedded C
- Understand dual-core FreeRTOS scheduling, tasks, queues, mutexes, and synchronization
- Interface sensors and peripherals using GPIO, ADC, UART, SPI, I2C, timers, and DMA
- Build resilient WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy applications
- Use MQTT, HTTP(S), WebSockets, TLS, and cloud-connected device patterns
- Integrate AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, and self-hosted MQTT infrastructure
- Design battery-conscious systems with deep sleep, wake sources, and duty cycling
- Implement OTA firmware updates with rollback protection
- Harden devices with Secure Boot, flash encryption, credential protection, and watchdog recovery
- Debug connectivity, concurrency, storage, and production reliability problems systematically
Go Beyond Tutorials with Two Complete Projects
Bring the full stack together by building a cloud-connected environmental monitor and a BLE smart sensor device. Both projects follow a requirements-first workflow and incorporate real considerations around security, reliability, power management, testing, hardware bring-up, documentation, and deployment.
Who This Book Is For
This book is designed for C programmers moving into embedded systems, electronics engineers strengthening their firmware skills, IoT developers who want deeper ESP32 expertise, FreeRTOS developers moving into connected devices, and experienced embedded engineers expanding into secure wireless product development.
The ESP32 is the platform. Production-ready connected firmware engineering is the skill you will take away.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
