RoundyPi is a round LCD display based on RP2040 along with compact and stylish 1.28-inch display module of 240×240 resolution, 65K RGB colors, clear and colorful displaying effect, expand its engagement with your project. RoundyPi comes with an embedded GC9A01 Driver and SPI Interface that minimize the required IO pins. RoundyFi is a round LCD…
I got the inspiration behind this project by reading internet switch tutorial posted by Talha a while ago on Hackster. It was super cool and I thought what could be more wild than controlling just an LED over the internet? Controlling a real appliance maybe! So I decided to build an ESP8266 based quick circuitry, and…
An inexpensive WiFi repeater that you can easily build at home. A single 4800mAh battery’s expected run time is about three days. The WiFi module used is an ESP8266-01 powered with a 18650 battery. By modifying the module just mentioned with an antenna it is possible to expand the range up to 200 meters. More…
In this project we see the development and construction process of a solar-powered irrigation station. This also collects atmospheric data and soil moisture and sends them in real time to the cloud for remote monitoring, also independently controlling irrigation via a drip irrigation system, in order to keep the plants happy and within an adequate…
In this IoT project, we will see how to create an IoT module that allows you to turn on 4 lamps, or any other load, controllable by Google Assistant and Alexa. As you can see from the image above, the system is based on a NodeMCU that controls a 4 relay module. In the absence…
In the age of Zoom, Messenger and Snapchat calls, communication around the world has become commonplace. But what if you could go back in time and painstakingly write the message one beep at a time? With this WiFi telegraph you can do it! Not many components are needed; essential is the ESP8266 module. We decided…
In this project we will see how to build a digital scale that uses the ESP8266 microcontroller with a load cell (and its HX711 converter). The scale is able to measure weight with gram accuracy, the sensor we are using is limited to 5Kg, but you can use one for smaller or larger weights. As…
In this project we see how to build an IOT-based dust monitoring system that can measure surrounding dust, send data over the Internet, and monitor the long-term value graphically. We use a Sharp gp2y1014au0f particle sensor which uses an IR LED and when the particle enters the sensor, the light bounces back to a photodetector….
With this project we will see how to make a solar powered wireless weather station using an ESP32 WiFi module and some common weather sensors. The weather station is fully solar powered, so you don’t need to worry about external power. It can be installed in a remote location without having to lay long cables…
With this project you can customize your Computer station with DIY ambient lights, using a LED strip controlled by any ESP8266 based board. The color of the strip will be controllable from a smartphone and, like a home automation device, automations can be set to change color at certain times of the day or after…
In this project, we will see how to turn any decorative object into an IOT smart device. Specifically, a plant pot was chosen and it was transformed into a device that sends movement notifications. The heart of the project is an ESP-01 WiFi module for wireless communication and a PIR sensor to detect movement. An…
A dimmer is a device that allows you to modulate the alternating voltage to be given to a load. In this project, an ESP8266-based dimmer was created that can easily control AC loads such as motors and lights. It has the power to handle more than 1200 Watts and it is a project that can…
