What is WipperSnapper, and Will it do what I need?

Post by KirillMcQ »

Hello! I am new to AdaFruit, and I found this awesome board called A00dafruit HUZZAH32 – ESP32. I was looking through the documentation, and I was wondering what WipperSnapper is? I read through the page, but there was not much there. My project is a model rocket, and I will be using the ESP32 for a flight computer. There will be 2 SG90 servos attached, as well as an MPU6050 Sensor. I want to be able to see that data real time; is it true that I understand that it will show me the data from my sensor in real time? Also, my rocket won't go very high, maybe 200-300 feet max. My next question is, i can just buy a LiPo battery and plug it into the ESP32, and it will be powered? Also, my servos and sensor needs to be connected to the VCC pin, but I don't see one. Is that just the BAT pin? Also, is the board powerful enough to power my Servos? Thanks.

Wippersnapper is for AdafruitIO communications and I don't see that you need it for your project. To your other question, yes you can plug a lipo in and the huzzah will be powered.

That's what I am trying to ask, I don't see a VCC pin. I am asking if the BAT pin is the same as the VCC on NODEMCU ESP32.

Take a few moments to read the clear description on this page https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-huz ... ns-2816344
BAT - this is the positive voltage to/from the JST jack for the optional Lipoly battery

Are you using a Feather or a NODEMCU?

Hi, so we can help improve our experiences and documentation..
I was looking through the documentation, and I was wondering what WipperSnapper is? I read through the page, but there was not much there.
What pages were you looking at? Could you link me?
