Engineer details day-long effort using AI tools on ESP32 microcontroller

An engineer detailed a day-long effort to write Xtensa assembly code using C++ as a wrapper, working with an ESP32-S3 N16R8 microcontroller. The experience was framed as a valuable learning opportunity, with the engineer comparing the ESP32-S3 N16R8 favorably to an 80286 PC in terms of power and cost. AI

RANK_REASON The item describes a personal engineering challenge using AI tools on a microcontroller, lacking broader industry significance or a specific event.
