Overview

A fast-paced 2‑day embedded IoT build: detect device tilt and high infra-red (IR) light and trigger immediate visual and audible alarms. The device can also be monitored and controlled remotely via a web UI.

Key technical highlights

• FreeRTOS firmware with ISRs, semaphores, queues, message passing, time-slicing and pre-emption.
• Dual‑MCU architecture: FRDM‑MCXC444 + ESP32‑S2‑DevkitM‑1U.
• Peripherals: mercury ball tilt switch, IR sensor, MPU‑6050 IMU.
• Focus areas: task prioritization, ISR design, low-latency state transitions.
