I’m spending a bit of time in NYC Soho and enjoying messing around with I2C breakout boards, some of which are made by Adafruit only a few hundred yards from here. This post is about auto-generation of code for decoding I2C poll responses.
I2C Auto Identification
Simplify embedded development by auto-identifying I2C devices and have them send you their data at a rate you choose.
Hybrid Super-Caps – power for electronic jewelry?
Are Hybrid Super-Capacitors a good option for powering electronic jewelry. In attempting to find out I realised how little I know about the chemistry of these devices and how odd their behaviour is compared to plain old super capacitors – or LiPo batteries for that matter!
Is ArduinoJson Pointless?
Extracting values from JSON using ArduinoJson almost-always** takes many times longer and consumes many times more memory than just parsing the JSON “on-demand” every time you want to extract a value. RaftJson is an on-demand parser which is many times quicker than ArduinoJson in most real-world uses.
Investigating ESP32-C3 Power Management
While developing some electronic Jewelry I have measured the power consumption of the ESP32-C3 microcontroller to see if it might be a good fit for my needs.

Embedding Micropython on ESP32
Embedding MicroPython in an existing ESP IDF project turned out not to be so simple. So here’s a guide to how I managed to get it working.
Is there WROOM for a WROVER?
Squeezing a larger module onto the control board for Marty the Robot V2.
Installing ESP-IDF on WSL2
I find that the Espressif ESP32 documentation for installing their IDF development toolchain doesn’t work for me on WSL2 without a few mods …
