Analysis of the ESP32 Bboard to integrate Decentralized IoT Systems

Abstract

Some years ago, articles and commercial products started using ESP32 as its core. This tendency has helped cyber-physic systems to start evolving into more complex models. Among them, one can quote those used in distributed computing models. Nevertheless, those kinds of systems face the difficulties of software development and also the uncertainty caused by the use of new technologies. In this article one can read the experience of developing a system capable of collecting environmental variables integrated to decentralized network. The objectives proposed in this article are: to develop a proof of concept where one can see the problems that may appear when integrating a project of this nature with a decentralized network; to use different open-source technologies that are enabled for decentralized environments and to analyse the viability for productive developments.
