***Note: Due to security restrictions, I am unable to provide comprehensive details regarding the purpose and specific functionalities of this project.***

I had the privilege of working on an exciting project where I learned how to utilize the OpenHaystack project, enabling me to provide a comprehensive guide for my co-workers on using ESP-32 devices with the OpenHaystack framework. Additionally, I had the opportunity to contribute to a specialized branch of OpenHaystack called FindYou, where I made contributions to the project's development.

OpenHaystack is an open-source project that harnesses Apple's Find My network to create do-it-yourself location tracking devices similar to Apple AirTags. By leveraging microcontroller units (MCUs) like the ESP-32 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, OpenHaystack enables developers to build their own tracking devices compatible with the Apple Find My network.

For this project, I explored the capabilities of OpenHaystack and gained in-depth knowledge of its implementation. I created a user-friendly guide specifically tailored for my co-workers, providing step-by-step instructions on setting up ESP-32 devices and integrating them with the OpenHaystack framework. The guide covered various aspects, including hardware requirements, software setup, and usage examples. By sharing this guide, I aimed to assist my co-workers in leveraging OpenHaystack effectively in their projects.
