ESP32 AND ARDUINO HARDWARE PROTOCOLS COOKBOOK: Practical Recipes to UART, SPI, I2C, and Non-standard Protocols for Developing Connected Devices Paperback – October 12, 2023

The book has a very conversational style, and a lot of very poor typos in it which seem to replace the original word with a homophone. This book feels like it was autogenerated using a speech to text tool that had been fed a video recording of a presentation. There does not seem to have been an effort on the part of the author or publication team to even attempt to proof read any portion of the book.There is a paragraph on page 13 that starts:"The other ones e squared c, ur does etcetera only needs 2 channels, one wire. Of course, one etcetera, and also this non standardized, I think also two channels."I think this should be"The other ones I2C, UART etc, only need 2 channels. One wire, of course one, etc. Also this non-standarized, I think is also two channels."The images throughout the book look like scaled images (JPEG or PNG), and have an illegible softness of anti aliasing. Many of the images have a white box over the lower right corner, obscuring details. Since the rest of the diagrams are mostly illegible it's not really a loss.I am not sure if the original content creator even knows these books have been produced.Amazon's star rating is broken, this really deserves 0 stars.

This is an example of one paragraph on P27:-So just before we hit your upload, we think about what will happen. And if you can reproduce the result. Then we upload the codes, and we're getting out here, halibut operations, and only one radio. Why is that so? Have you expected those results?Note the words 'halibut' and 'radio' on the second line.... WTFEven the description of the author on the back cover shows confusion about the author's gender!And also that he or she writes fantasy novels etc!

The book was horribly written, like somebody was listening a YouTube video about this stuff and just literally writing work for word in some random language. And later just used Google translate without any proofreading. I would strongly advise do not waste money on this. Also all of the pictures are just screenshots of somebody's scribble on PC and are not even visible. The book is B&W and pictures should be in colour because the person that his content was taken uses dark theme, so its just a black rectangle in random pages.

This book is a great addition to any electronics library. The book is well-written and easy to follow, and the author provides clear and concise explanations of the different hardware protocols. I also found the chapter on non-standard protocols to be very helpful. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about ESP32 and Arduino hardware protocols.

If it’s rubbish your looking for; look no further!
