Performance Evaluation of C/C++, MicroPython, Rust and TinyGo Programming Languages on ESP32 Microcontroller

Ignas Plauska, Agnius Liutkevičius, Audronė Janavičiūtė · Electronics · 2022

The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications requires high computational efficiency, low-cost, and low-power solutions for various IoT devices. These include a wide range of microcontrollers that are used to collect, process, and transmit IoT data. ESP32 is a microcontroller with built-in wireless connectivity, suitable for various IoT applications. The ESP32 chip is gaining more popularity, both in academia and in the developer community, supported by a number of software libraries and programming languages. While low- and middle-level languages, such as C/C++ and Rust, are believed to be the most efficient, TinyGo and MicroPython are more developer-friendly low-complexity languages, suitable for beginners and allowing more rapid coding. This paper evaluates the efficiency of the available ESP32 programming languages, namely C/C++, MicroPython, Rust, and TinyGo, by comparing their execution performance. Several popular data and signal processing algorithms were implemented in these languages, and their execution times were compared: Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), Infinite Impulse Response (IIR), and Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters. The results show that the C/C++ implementations were fastest in most cases, closely followed by TinyGo and Rust, while MicroPython programs were many times slower than implementations in other programming languages. Therefore, the C/C++, TinyGo, and Rust languages are more suitable when execution and response time are the key factors, while Python can be used for less strict system requirements, enabling a faster and less complicated development process.

Realization of the action-oriented education approach by programming a microcontroller steered mobile robot

Duško Lukač, Lejla Banjanović-Mehmedović · 2009

Focus of this paper is on the development of the action-oriented education approach. Results from secondary data analysis and different empirical studies indicate that for the different levels of education (for example, tertiary practical education as well as operational professional training), enterprises and educational experts expect more competence extension in the future. The concept of action-oriented education which includes informing-process, planning, decision-making, evaluation, examination and achievement should lead the trainee to the development of their own key qualifications, predominantly their own methods and social competence to meet requirements. The concept of action-oriented education is explained by using learning purpose formulation related to the example of the assembly and programming of the microcontroller steered mobile robot. In this context, the role of the trainer is explained, who should be a moderator during his/her instructor's activity in order to increasingly advance the trainees learning and to qualify them in single handed project work and also in groups.

Michał Raczyński · International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education · 2021

The article presents the possibility of conducting remote laboratory classes in subjects that require the use of specialized equipment (which the student does not have at home). The article is based on the example of classes in microcontrollers programming and electronic circuits. The methods with the use of simulation programs and an innovative approach enabling work on real equipment are presented. The solutions presented in the article were practically and successfully implemented in connection with the coronavirus pandemic in spring 2020 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin. A very important feature of the presented ideas is the possibility to adapt the already existing stationary solutions to remote work and use free applications. The characteristic feature of the presented ideas is also simplicity. These two features make it possible to implement remote learning quickly and at a low-cost. Classes conducted using the described system for a group of about 50 students were positively evaluated by them. Their opinions were also included in the article.

Program med microcontroller for information security devices

Myasnikov K.P. Mikaeva S.A. Juravleva YU.A. · Automation Modern Techologies · 2024

A programmed microcontroller for an electronic information security device is developed. Programming of the microcontroller is carried out by using the Atmega 32a controller and the SI programming language. The program runs inside the microcontroller and interacts with circuit components using PINs, thanks to which information can be read and entered. When implementing encryption and decryption algorithms and the Magma encryption algorithm, four types of transformations are used. The controller has small dimensions, so it is convenient to use in devices for fast encryption and short messages that need to be transmitted urgently. To quickly encrypt large amounts of data, the microcontroller can be connected to a given electronic circuit and the input/ output interaction can be adjusted, which expands its functionality.

RETHINKING THE FIRST YEAR PROGRAMMING COURSE

William David Lubitz · Proceedings of the Canadian Engineering Education Association (CEEA) · 2011

The use of microcontrollers in beginning programming classes has been found to increase student learning and enthusiasm. Microcontroller programming has been successfully used in advanced undergraduate courses as a way to reinforce previous learning and to practice design, and in beginning undergraduate courses to introduce basic programming concepts in an engaging and relevant manner. Based on observations in a third year undergraduate course that included both traditional and microcontroller programming, a case is made for using a user-friendly microcontroller, instead of a traditional full-featured language, to teach fundamental programming concepts to novice engineering students.
