Working on hardware is a different thing altogether. You’d have to do a lot of reading, especially if you don’t want to vibecode the shit out of the stuff you’re building 😂
I have to read the esp-hal documentation, the ESP32-S3 Technical Reference Manual, and the sensor datasheet and understand them. I won’t lie, AI has been really helpful locating specific information in the reference manual and documentation.
Anyway, I got the sound sensor microphone working today.
I’m now working on extracting useful sound-level measurements from the microphone.
This is one of the steps toward bringing acoustic sensing capability to poultry farms.
If I can automatically commit, push, stage, pull my code to GitHub, and even comment on my changes using VS Code’s Source Control, I see no reason to learn manual Git commands. 💁🏽♂️
