In this project, you’re going to build an Android app using the MIT App Inventor software that allows you to control the ESP8266 GPIOs. First, watch the video demonstration To learn more about the ESP8266 use the following tutorials as a reference: Getting started with the ESP8266 ESP8266 web server with NodeMCU Flashing NodeMCU firmware ESP8266 troubleshooting […]

In this project we are going to establish a wireless communication between two ESPs and send data from three sensors to an Excel spreadsheet. This tutorial shows a wireless weather station with data logging that you can implement in your home. Before you continue reading this project, please complete the following tutorials: How to get started

I learnt about Arduino 2 years ago.So I started playing around with simple stuff like LEDs,buttons,motors etc.Then I thought wouldn’t it be cool to connect to do stuff like displaying the day’s weather,stock prices ,train timings on an LCD display.I found that this could be done by sending and receiving data through the internet.So the

This week the beautiful projects from Boldport club arrived. Each of them comes with a nice box or bag which matches the individual project. All electronic components to assemble and solder the project are included, but you need some external power supply and jumper cables to bring some of the projects to life. In the

Long-time readers will know I’m not one to promote trendy marketing phrases and certainly ‘Internet of Things’ or ‘IoT’ is right up there with the best (worst) of them. But the concept behind the phrase is worth understanding as it drives the next generation of connected devices. Single-function or ‘embedded’ gadgets built from microcontrollers like

Since this book was written, Arduino 1.0 was released and Google has changed the Open Accessory standard a lot. At the start of December 2011 Arduino 1.0 was released. This changed a few things, requiring all third-party libraries to be updated. This hasn’t happened yet for the Android Open Accessory ADK. So until this is

In all my arduino projects I was using cheap 1602 LCDs mostly because… they are cheap but also of the libraries flexibility. Recently I found a nice TFT 1.8 inch 128×160 in a very competitive price and i thought to give it a go. Just $4.5. I had a little bit of trouble to make
