Pre-Conference Meeting - ESP32 -Arduino Primer - Intro to Bluetooth Sec

Our October meeting before our 2nd annual conference on November 8,9,10 (www.phack.org). In this meeting, we will have two presentations.

- Subodh will give us an introduction to ESP32 with Arduino, how to set it up, tools, projects, and security use cases.

Programming ESP32 with Arduino IDE
---
ESP32 is low cost chip that is widely used in IoT projects. The ESP32 has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities, which make it an ideal chip for the development of IoT projects.
In the presentation I will be going over the following:
1. Brief Introduction about ESP32 board
2. Setup Arduino IDE to program ESP32
3. A Hello Word program for Blinking a LED with ESP32
4. Create a Wi-Fi Access Point using ESP32

USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers - Silicon Labs
The CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers are required for device operation as a Virtual COM Port to facilitate host communication with CP210x products. These devices can also interface to a host using the direct access driver.

- Rod will give a presentation about Bluetooth security, what is bluetooth?, specifications, tools, attack surface. This will also lead us into our next meetings where we will have a BLUE TOOTH CTF, specs and requirements will be provided

We will also be giving away tickets for the conference. See you there
