System Diagram

Hardware

• Uses the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C3 for its external antenna, making the radio independent of the enclosure.
  • Initially used the ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 board.
• Uses the VS1053 chip to decode the streamed audio.
• Schematics are created using KiCad 9.0.

Software Architecture

• Built with esp-hal and Embassy for async task scheduling.
• Project scaffolded using cargo generate esp-rs/esp-template. See the GitHub repo. The software project root is controller.

Development Notes

• ESP Rust installation requires setting up environment variables. Example: C:\Users\T440s\export-esp.ps1 contains the injected environment variables.
• Embassy code examples are referenced from esp-hal examples.
• For more on Embassy, see the Embassy Book.
