Converting HM10 Bluetooth to ESP32 | Arduino in Your Car Series

In part five of this series, we take a dive into the code for our custom 350z brake and underglow light, look at improving the code's readability and functional re-usability, as well showing all of the changes you'd need to undertake in order to update the HM10 bluetooth code to an ESP32 with integrated bluetooth.
All coding is broken down a line at a time into simple terms so you should be able to follow as a complete beginner, especially if you've followed the previous parts of the series

Great stuff, I can't believe I'm learning more coding from a car channel than most coding channels. Really loving the series, can't wait to see it on the car and working

[@ValentineAutos]

No more coding for a little while now lol. Though I say that now, I'm bound to think of something else utilising it.

[@62f100]

Thanks for spending the time to do this. I’m getting into the electronic part of my build and this is going to be a great help.

[@ValentineAutos]

Great to hear it's of assistance. What are you making?

[@62f100]

@@ValentineAutos I have a 62 ford unibody f100 & I'm trying to figure out if I want to use esp32 or a tang nano 20k fpga to display info on 5" or 4" display from my microsquirt module. Also going to use esp32 for led brake light tricks. Already have a raspberrypi 4 controlling air ride by touchscreen.
