Roland Pelayo

I started TMM back in 2015. I’m a firmware and embedded systems engineer with over ten years of experience designing and developing electronic and microcontroller-based products. Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, including medical devices, access control and security systems, automation, robotics, wireless communication modules, IoT systems, imaging and sensor instruments, and educational training tools. I’ve built systems using platforms such as PIC, AVR, ESP32, STM32, nRF52, and Raspberry Pi, and I regularly work with protocols like RS485/OSDP, CAN, TCP/IP, Wiegand, and a variety of sensor and communication interfaces. I also develop full-stack solutions for embedded projects, combining firmware, hardware, and web-based dashboards when needed. If there’s a topic you’d like me to write about, or if you need consultation or hands-on development for electronics, embedded, or firmware projects, I’m always open to working on new ideas and collaborations. You can reach me anytime through the contact page.

CISC vs RISC for an Arduino User

CISC vs RISC

Introduction Whenever I peel back the layers of how my Arduino boards actually work, I always end up revisiting one classic topic: CISC vs RISC. When I first heard those terms, I honestly thought they were meant for chip architects wearing lab coats inside semiconductor fabs. But the more I …

Getting Started with WEMOS D1 R32 

Wemos D1 R32

The WeMos D1 R32 is an ESP32-based development board that takes the familiar Arduino Uno form factor. It promises to give makers the power of the ESP32—Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, dual-core processing—while keeping the physical compatibility of an Arduino board. But as many users have discovered, the D1 R32 isn’t a drop-in …

ESP32 Pinout Diagram | ESP32-CAM

ESP32 CAM pinout diagram

The ESP32-CAM is a compact yet powerful development board that packs Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and camera capabilities into one low-cost module. But with its limited pin count and dual-purpose GPIOs, figuring out which pins to use can be confusing—especially for beginners. In this post, we’ll break down the ESP32-CAM pinout, explain …

Digital Tools That Make Learning Smarter and More Engaging

The way learning has been changed in the last ten years is dramatic. Gone are the days when the definition of education was sitting and passively taking lectures or taking hours with a highlighter and a pile of textbooks. The modern digital transformation trends provide a spectacular set of tools …
