The XIAO ESP32-C3 Book Is Now Available in English
Good news for the XIAO community: the popular XIAO ESP32-C3 handbook — originally published in German as Kleines Board ganz groß — is now available in English.
Published by Elektor and written by Dr. Günter Spanner, Build Smart Projects with the XIAO ESP32-C3 Board is a 245-page hands-on guide that takes you from the fundamentals right through to complete real-world builds.
What's Inside
The book starts with the basics — LED blinking and dimming — then moves into ADC and PWM for precise sensor interfacing and lighting effects, before building out full projects including:
- A Wi-Fi weather station with an OLED display and live online weather data
- An ultrasonic parking assistant with audible feedback
- A refrigerator monitoring probe using Deep Sleep for years of battery life
- A retro Pong game controlled by a touch-free sensor
- A microphone-based party app that responds to claps
- Plus lighting control, reaction-time measurement, mains frequency analysis, soil moisture sensing, ambient LED lighting, and 7-segment displays
