Abstract

This paper presents the utilization of the ESP32 microcontroller as a teaching tool for signal acquisition, processing, and control theory in biotechnological engineering. The ESP32 microcontroller, equipped with Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities, offers an affordable and versatile solution for educational purposes. By leveraging the Arduino© software, students can easily learn microcontroller programming and utilize various peripherals such as sensors and actuators. Several practical exercises related to process control have been conducted using this microcontroller. Additionally, remote process monitoring and control are enabled through integration with a database. Furthermore, concepts of artificial intelligence are explored using the Edge Impulse platform to obtain an artificial neural network that can be downloaded onto the ESP32. Positive feedback from students highlights the effectiveness and engagement of utilizing these microcontrollers, and the integration of internet connectivity enhances the overall learning experience.
