This IoT home automation project allows you to have full control of your blinds from anywhere with the use of a photoresistor, a motor and a smartphone, you can adjust the blinds without actually having to get up. As for the assembly it is necessary to insert the servo in the curtains in order to…
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….
I had the opportunity to work with Noe Ruiz from Adafruit to write some CircuitPython code for the PyPortal Titano Weather Station. The PyPortal boards have a SAMD51 along with an ESP32 co-processor, which allows them to connect to Wi-Fi and run CircuitPython. This project displays a live feed of the current weather for your…
MicroPython has launched its new series of electronic circuit boards – Pyboard D Board. These boards run on MicroPython which is a stripped down version of Python 3 that is meant for microcontrollers. The stand-out feature of the ECB is its ultra-low memory requirement of 16KB. Under the hood, the Pyboard D is equipped with…
If you do not have any screen, keyboard, or mouse to control the Raspberry Pi, but you still need to do some wireless setup, there is a facility to enable wireless networking and SSH when creating an image. “If you’re just trying to program on the Pi or use it to control electronics such as…
Wi-Fi Stepper is a feature-packed, easy-to-use, stepper motor controller accessible over Wi-Fi. It can handle small to big stepper motors under high current. You can send crypto-secured commands over Wi-Fi from a computer, phone, or any other platform. Integration with other controllers is possible using the step clock and direction input pins….

[bctt tweet=”A transceiver unit to broadcast audio MP3 files over Wi-Fi” username=”OpenElectronics”] In this article, we want to propose you what can be considered as the natural evolution of project Ethernet Broadcaster; the goal is still the same, i.e. allowing broadcasting of music or customizable audio messages. Besides adapting to the ever-growing trend of…
Samuel Mello Medeiros may have a way to inject new digital relevance into boxy old film camera classics with his I’m Back Kickstarter project, a camera back that sports a 16 MP CMOS sensor and touchscreen display panel. The camera attachment has been designed to offer 35 mm camera owners the option to take photos…
[bctt tweet=”Send alarm email notifications through #Gmail with #ESP8266 ” username=”OpenElectronics”] Based on our ESP03 demoboard, this device sends out email notifications through Gmail when the onboard P.I.R. detects movement. The traditional alarm system which just makes a sound alarm go off and maybe sends out an SMS, forcing you to cash out for…
TinyCircuits are used by thousands of people in over sixty countries worldwide to create a variety of projects, from makers creating projects at home to engineering students in the top universities doing cutting-edge research. Their main product is the TinyDuino, an Arduino-compatible platform the size of a US quarter. The TinyDuino platform is completely modular…
Turtle, the world’s first Earth rover, has launched on Kickstarter. Turtle has up to four hours of continuous driving and a Wi-Fi range up to 200 m/220 yd. The rover has open source hardware and software, a watertight design, full HD camera and live streaming. It is also equipped with a robotic arm. Turtle Rover…
