Monitoring an appliance with a microcontroller usually follows a well-worn path of diving inside and finding somewhere in the electrical circuitry that can be connected through some kind of interface to a microcontroller. For his Nespresso pod coffee machine, [Steadman] eschewed tearing into the device, and instead chose to monitor the sound it makes. A commodity

Keeping track of everything going on in your program can be an uphill battle. The serial monitor is a way to listen to what’s going on in your code by reporting back to the computer over the USB cable. In the Tinkercad Circuits simulator, the Serial Monitor can be found at the bottom of the Code panel

The KBox B-201-CFL features high performance in a compact housing and with low noise level (maximum 34 dB(A)).
Don’t know about you, but over the last year or so, we have gone from spending ten or twelve hours a day at this computer to upwards of sixteen or eighteen. Fortunately there’s a window behind the monitor for taking those 20/20/20 breaks that are supposed to prevent eye strain, but it’s so hard to
IEL provides solutions in the various sectors of Industrial automation, Smart Transportation, Healthcare, etc. Earlier this year, IEL launched “HYPER-RK36” PICO-ITX form factor SBC which runs on Rockchip RK3399 Processor with high computing and multi-media performance. It has several rich I/O interfaces such as USB 2.0, USB 3.0, 8-bit GPIO, RS-232/422/485, GbE ethernet and also a dual

Dear friends welcome to another Instructable! Today we are going to learn how to get the data that this Xiaomi Temperature and Humidity monitor transmits using the Bluetooth functionality of the ESP32 board. As you can see, I am using an ESP32 board and a 2.8” color TFT display. On the display, we display the temperature and
DIABNEXT’s ‘CLIPSULIN’ device attaches to insulin pens and employs Nordic’s nRF52832 SoC to wirelessly send recorded insulin injection data via Bluetooth LE or NFC. Nordic Semiconductor today announces that Taiwan-based DIABNEXT, a healthcare services company, has selected Nordic’s nRF52832 System-on-Chip (SoC) to provide the Bluetooth® Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) wireless connectivity for its ‘CLIPSULIN’ insulin

Soil moisture sensors are cheap and easy to interface with, to the point that combining one with an Arduino and blinking an LED when your potted plant is feeling a bit parched is a common beginners project. But what about on the long term? Outside of a simple proof of concept, what would it take

Monitoring accurately the temperature in your home is definitely one of the best way to save on your energy bill. At the same time you want to feel well in a warm home during winter time. My current thermostat only allows a static programmation: I can define a day temperature (around 19°/20° to not heat
