Arduino (C++) or ESP32 (MicroPython) ✻-✻ No experience necessary ✻-✻ You are 16-21 years old

No Indians. No Pakistanis. You do *not* need to have a microcontroller (Arduino or ESP32). I estimate you will receive approximately 180 US dollars/month for working approximately 20 hours/month. ✻ PAYMENT METHOD ✻ I will pay you daily. This almost eliminates the risk that you will be unpaid. You will normally work 1 hour/day for 10 US dollars/hour. However, I presume Freelancer will pay you 9 US dollars/hour after they deduct their 10% commission. ✻ EXPERIENCE ✻ You do *not* need any experience. ✻ YOU ARE NOT DREAMING ✻ I will pay you to learn C/C++ on Arduino or MicroPython on ESP32. Yes. Really. You are not dreaming. But you must be very intelligent and you must think like a scientist. ✻ EXCLUDED COUNTRIES: BAD EXPERIENCES ✻ Whether it's poor written English, or poor communication skills, or poor critical thinking skills, or other problems, I have wasted too much of my time dealing with candidates who live in... Algeria Bangladesh China Egypt India Indonesia Kenya Nepal Nigeria Pakistan Palestinian territories Philippines Qatar Russian Federation Saudi Arabia Sri Lanka United Arab Emirates Vietnam ✻ EXCLUDED COUNTRIES: HIGH COST OF LIVING ✻ I am excluding countries with an obviously high cost of living such as Italy, Canada, Japan, Australia, etc. The following countries also have a cost of living that is too high... Bulgaria Croatia Estonia Greece Latvia Lithuania Poland Portugal Slovenia Spain Turkey ✻ YOU NEITHER NEED AN ARDUINO NOR AN ESP32 ✻ You do *not* need to have a microcontroller because I will have an Arduino or ESP32 here in Los Angeles. You will teach me in real-time (by text chatting with me). I will program the Arduino or ESP32 as we text chat (*not* video chat). ✻ MY FIRST CHOICE COUNTRIES ✻ Albania Bosnia and Herzegovina Kosovo Montenegro North Macedonia Serbia ✻ MY SECOND CHOICE COUNTRIES ✻ Argentina Brazil Mexico ✻ MY THIRD CHOICE COUNTRIES ✻ Belarus Chile Colombia Costa Rica Ecuador Moldova Panama Romania Ukraine Uruguay Venezuela ✻ IF YOUR COUNTRY IS NOT INDICATED ABOVE ✻ If the country you live in is neither one of my excluded countries nor one of my 1st, 2nd, nor 3rd choice countries, to apply please send me the following, "The country I live in is neither one of your excluded countries nor one of your 1st, 2nd, nor 3rd choice countries. However, I am interested in working on this project." ✻ MORE PROJECT DETAILS ✻ Frankly, I would prefer that you complete this project using MicroPython on ESP32. However, I have had difficulty finding someone who is interested in using MicroPython on ESP32. Therefore, I am willing to have you work on this project using C/C++ on Arduino. You will help me build a consumer IoT product. You and I will text chat (*not* video chat) for one hour on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during a time that is convenient for you and me. ✻ WHY DO I WANT TO WORK WITH A YOUNG COMPUTER PROGRAMMER? ✻ I want to work a young computer programmer because I have found that they tend to be more eager to learn new technologies, learn more quickly, have more time for freelancing, are generally easier to work with, and of course are usually willing to work for less money than older computer programmers. ✻ WOULD YOU PREFER TO USE C/C++ ON ARDUINO OR MICROPYTHON ON ESP32? ✻ Please either respond by copying and pasting, "I prefer to C/C++ on Arduino" or "I prefer to use MicroPython on ESP32." Please do not worry because I will accept either response. Primarily, I want to figure out which technology is more popular among candidates. To me MicroPython on ESP32 seems like the better technology for this project yet I think many candidates have used C/C++ or Arduino and therefore would prefer C/C++ on Arduino. ✻ DESIRABLE BUT NOT REQUIRED ✻ Experience with one or more of the following would be desirable: Python, Java, JavaScript, C++, C#, .NET, PHP, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, circuit design, and/or mechatronics.
