Resources:
~~ QSerialPort: youtube.com/watch?v=AX-HhBXBzGg&ab_channel=VannevarMorgan and youtube.com/watch?v=IqEO95Gfp6k&ab_channel=VDEngineering
~~ QCustomPlot: youtube.com/watch?v=xWGEvlDWokQ&ab_channel=VannevarMorgan
~~ PlatformIO: platformio.org
~~ USB to UART adapter and drivers for ESP32: amazon.ca/dp/B07CHGK4G7 and silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads
In this video we will deploy the sampling based motion planning algorithm Rapidly Exploring Random Trees onto an embedded microcontroller (ESP32). You will learn to create a tree and linked list data structure using only raw pointers (C style), along with traversing it using just an array (no queue or stack). This uses the least amount of space complexity and lets you work directly with pointers. You will also see how a GUI can be made for your embedded application using QT and QSerialPort along with passing data from your ESP32 to the GUI, a process known as serialization.
