The AnalysIR crew has published an article showing how to achieve accurate PWM for Infrared carrier signals on the ESP8266 NodeMCU: Quite simple really – just set the baud rate to 10 times the desired Infrared carrier frequency and send a ‘magic’ 8 bit character to achieve the desired duty...Tags: Arduino, ESP8266, NodeMCU, uPWM

Tinkermax shows us how he reduce the current consumption of his v2 NodeMCU in deep sleep to < 50μA: Unfortunately, with all this added convenience comes the drawback of added power consumption, which continues even when the ESP8266 is in deep sleep. I measured 18mA to the NodeMCU board while...Tags: ESP8266, NodeMCU

Limpkin writes: I usually never use libraries... but made an exception for these quick projects ! I'm pretty sure that most people reading this very article know about the (very) cheap ESP8266 Wifi module. A bit more than a year ago, I actually made a small development board for it,...Tags: Domoticz, Lua, NodeMCU

Vegard Paulsen blogged about his soldering-iron #IoT project: My trusty old soldering-iron recently got an upgrade! With the help of a NodeMCU. a RGB-LED it now reports the set temperature to the #IoT Thingspeak.com server through WIFI. It also sends me Prowl messages on my Iphone when I forget to...Tags: Arduino, ESP8266, IoT, NodeMCU, soldering

Patrik Thalin writes: This device is installed in my home to monitor the usage of electricity. It counts the pulses from the meter and produces a log file with number of pulses and a time stamp that can later be analyzed. The hardware is quite simple. The NodeMCU development kit...Tags: ESP8266, IoT, Lua, NodeMCU
