I got some resources to get knowldege of LVGL and FreeRTOS. - https://learnesp32.com/ (Concepts of FreeRTOS, task, event, queue,) - https://lvgl.academy/ (You can learn how to use LVGL with freeRTOS, but It is old version of LVGL) - https://www.udemy.com/course/iot-application-development-with-the-esp32-using-the-esp-idf/ (ESP32 But you can notice how to work task and message queue event in WiFi and webserver, littile bit complex )

The big thing is the examples they have. I use Visual Studio Code with the ESP-idf extention, and if I want to learn a new functionality, I load an example and break it down. There is also the website https://learnesp32.com, which does a very high level understanding of the code, but if you have prior experience with other micro-controllers, than that probably isn't necessary.

A previous thread recommended this course: https://learnesp32.com/

The best place is the course offered by https://learnesp32.com . It's a paid course but covers all basic and intermediate topics

And yes! LearnESP32.com by Mair is a great way to getting started. Checkout his github page for valuable info.

Then I moved on to some example apps with ESP IDF, and those compiled, flashed, and worked perfectly first try. So then I found this tutorial website, and after about a day, I was doing all sorts of fancy stuff. That was the best $50 I had spent as far as understanding all the core bits very well and knowing my way around.

When I was new to ESP32 development, I found the videos at https://learnesp32.com/ to be very valuable. I felt very comfortable with ESP IDF development afterwards. Well worth $50.

FDRS is a custom built system on top of ESPNow (and lora, wifi, etc) that makes the messaging simple. https://github.com/timmbogner/Farm-Data-Relay-System https://youtu.be/6JI5wZABWmA

I second this.. i just discovered FDRS and am in the process of hooking a remote gate up to my Home Assistant server with a couple of heltec ESP32/Lora modules. Clicked through because this sounds like it could've been an alternative method of doing the same thing BUT the website lists no hardware, no documentation, no pricing... do you expect every prospective customer to have a conversation with you about what they need?

Have a look at FDRS, it should simplify your project's needs greatly.

I'd look at FDRS, I feel like it would fit your situation very well. Depending on the physical layout of our hives, you might have 1 node (w/ weight/t&h/audio sensors) per hive, one repeater and one gateway. You may not need the repeater, or you may need more than one. Using ESPNow, you can get 300m line of sight (even further if using ESPNow LR), Lora you can go much further.

Another FDRS user contributed an example using a DS3231 that you can look off of here.

I have been working on this project for a while, but only recently added controller functionality in an official capacity. As such, I updated my infographics and wanted to share them with the class: UART, MQTT.

This is a shameless plug, as it's a video about my own project. I actually have a soil moisture sensor experiment underway however, which I documented in this wiki page.
