Developing firmware for custom embedded systems on the competition motorcycle
Written by: Violet Monserate
Overview
Thus far, as a part of the UW superbike team, I’ve had the opportunity to create documentation for existing code, and then leaverage that research to inform future iterations of the hardware and firmware, including our inevitable transition to ESP32.
In this process, I’ve learned more about how to build firmware from the ground up, and the important decisions neccessary to make for a smooth development process, modularity, and rapid software/hardware-in-the-loop testing.
I’ve also learned to more readily utilize ESP32’s and Espressif IoT Development Framework: ESP-IDF.
