## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3588, "days_push": 843, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A collection of sample code snippets and fragments for the ESP32 microcontroller, written in C, covering peripherals, networking, Bluetooth, and other ESP-IDF features. It accompanies Kolban's book on ESP32 but is no longer actively maintained.

## Use cases
- learn how to program the ESP32 in C
- find example code for ESP32 Bluetooth or WiFi tasks
- copy snippets for ESP-IDF peripheral usage
- get started with ESP32 development
- reference working ESP32 code fragments while reading Kolban's ESP32 book

## When to choose
- you want small, focused C examples for ESP32 features
- you are learning ESP32 programming and want reference snippets
- you need a starting point for ESP-IDF code you will adapt yourself

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with bug fixes and support
- you want a production-ready framework rather than example code
- you are using a different microcontroller platform

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, sdk
- domain: embedded-systems, iot, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: embedded, iot, c
- tags: esp32, code-snippets, espressif, example-code, microcontroller, arduino, sample-code
