LoRa module in DIL form
Mare writes: Murata produces LoRa module CMWX1ZZABZ-xxx based on SX1276 transceiver and STM32L072CZ microcontroller. The soldering of the LGA module is not very hobby-friendly. I constructed small breakout PCB for this module with additional buck/boost switcher and place for SMA connector. The transceiver features the LoRa®long-range modem, providing ultra-long-range spread spectrum communication and high interference […]
ESP8266 SPI Spy
nop head writes: I came across a very useful post by Thomas Scherrer that describes how to read data from a Peacefair PZEM-021 energy meter by spying on the SPI bus with an Arduino. I decided to do the same thing with an ESP-12F WiFi module so that I could view the results remotely and […]
Alexa (Echo) with ESP32 and ESP8266 – Voice controlled relay
Rui Santos writes, “In this project, you’re going to learn how to control the ESP8266 or the ESP32 with voice commands using Alexa (Amazon Echo Dot). As an example, we’ll control two 12V lamps connected to a relay module. We’ll also add two 433 MHz RF wall panel switches to physically control the lamps.” More […]
Game audio for the ESP32
ESP32 game audio at Buildlog.Net blog: I have been working on some games for the ESP32 and needed some decent quality audio with a minimum number of additional components. I was bouncing between using the DAC and using the I2S bus. The DAC requires less external parts, so I went that way. I ended up […]
ESP32lights
Luca Dentella published a new build: Today’s project, ESP32lights, is a smart device based on the esp32 chip. Thanks to ESP32lights you can turn a load on and off (I used it for my christmas lights) manually based on daily schedules based on the light intensity ESP32lights connects to your wifi network, can be configured […]
Weather logger with Losant and Amazon Alexa
Steve documented his experience experimenting with home weather logging: Like a million other people on the Internet, I’ve been experimenting with home weather logging. I roll my eyes at the phrase “Internet of Things”, but it’s hard to deny the potential of cheap networked sensors and switches, and a weather logging system is like this […]
SQUIX ESP8266 based e-paper WiFi weather station
Erich Styger documented his experience building Daniel Eichhorn’s e-paper weather station with a custom enclosure: Using e-paper for a weather station is an ideal solution, as the data does not need to be updated often. By default, the station reaches out every 20 minutes for new data over WiFi and then updates the display. Daniel […]
WiFi TFT touch LCD weather station with ESP8266
Erich Styger built this ESP8266 WiFi weather station with touch LCD and wrote a post on his blog detailing its assembly: After the “WiFi OLED Mini Weather Station with ESP8266“, here is another one: this time with Touch LCD :-) In the previous article (“WiFi OLED Mini Weather Station with ESP8266“) I have used the […]
Pulsecounting and deepsleep based IoT water meter
Tisham Dhar has written an article detailing his pulsecounting and deepsleep based IoT water meter project: I admit to being a tiny bit obsessed with monitoring utility bills and gathering data on my usage patterns blow-by-blow. The energy monitoring has reduced my electricity bills, so I wanted to have a go at the water usage. […]
Duck DNS ESP8266 mini WiFi client
An ESP8266 Duck DNS client from Davide Gironi: It is powered by USB, it can also be powered by the router USB port. It’s built on a pretty old ESP-01 board. It has two led, one is the ESP-01 WiFi connection status embedded one, the other is connected to the GPIO2 port, and it’s used […]
ESP32 web server – Arduino IDE
Rui Santos from Random Nerd Tutorials has posted a detailed tutorial on how to create a standalone web server with an ESP32 that can toggle two LEDs using the Arduino IDE. Full details at Random Nerd Tutorials homepage. Check out the video after the break.
Bridge monitoring system using wireless sensor network
Zx Lee and his friends built the bridge monitoring system using wireless sensor network, that is available at github: Recently, I completed a mini project together with two of my friends. So I am going to take this opportunity to share the project that we have made, we named it the Bridge Monitoring System (BMS) […]
Magic Mote MSP430G2553 wireless sensor node with NRF24L01+ module
Tom from Magic Smoke writes: This is my first time designing a PCB for MSP430. I really like the NRF24L01+ booster pack but I would like something smaller to use for remote temperature sensors. With that in mind I’ve designed a 24.5 x 50 mm PCB (2 on a 5×5 cm prototype) featuring MSP430G2553 and […]
Esp8266 WebServer farm
An Esp8266 WebServer farm project by Eldon Brown’s (a.k.a WA0UWH) After several long months, I have reactivated my Esp8266 WebServer Farm. Currently, one of my WebServers can be accessed as: esp.wa0uwh.com:8154 More info at WA0UWH homepage.
EasyESP-1: a rapid prototyping and development board for ESP8266
Raj over at Embedded Lab has designed a development board for ESP8266: EasyESP-1 is a rapid prototyping board for the low-cost, WiFi-enabled ESP8266 microcontroller. With an onboard USB-to-Serial converter pre-installed, EasyESP-1 does not require any additional hardware to download your application firmware to the ESP8266 chip. The ESP module used in this development board is […]
DIY IKEA wireless Qi charging for the Hexiwear
Erich Styger built a DIY a wireless charging system for the Hexiwear: The Achilles Heel of the Mikroelektronika Hexiwear is its charging: the charging and USB connector are only designed for a limited number of plug-unplug cycles, and it does not have a wireless charging capability like the Apple iWatch. Until now! I have built […]
Homebrew WiFi shield
m0xpd has published a new build, the homebrew WiFi shield: Having just finished development of the new m0xpd / Kanga ESP8266 – AD9834 board, I find myself with a few WiFi components knocking about on the bench – so I figured it would be fun to try to make a WiFi shield for an Arduino… […]
