We saved battery in our ESP32 WiFi circuits (TCP vs UDP)


In the early development stages of PetDrifts, we faced significant challenges with our MVP, which included a custom PCB equipped with an ESP32 C3 mini, sensor, and a Li-ion battery. One of the major issues was the rapid draining of the battery, a critical problem in our IoT device design

In the early development stages of PetDrifts, we faced significant challenges with our MVP, which included a custom PCB equipped with an ESP32 C3 mini, sensor, and a Li-ion battery. This circuit contains, mcu (built-in ADC) with pcb antenna, accelerations sensor, and some battery charging and regulating components. Every REST call requires this handshake process before any data is exchanged, leading to potential delays in high-frequency or low-latency applications.
