A wireless anemometer project using ESP8266 and Adafruit’s wind sensor is shared by graham22 on github. The wind sensor provides an analog output voltage proportional to the wind speed. The ESP8266 reads in the output voltage through its A/D channel, computes the wind speed, and displays it on a web browser upon receiving a HTTP request from a client machine.

Are you looking for a simple design of a DIY remote switch for controlling your AC appliances over WiFi, this Instructable provides details of making such a switch from scratch. The project uses ESP8266 WiFi module that communicates with a phone using the Blynk app. The entire circuitry is enclosed inside a box with a male plug that goes to the wall socket, and a female input plug for your device. The controller receives the power supply from the mains socket.

After setting up the Arduino IDE to enable support for ESP8266, it’s time to write your first code for EasyESP-1 board. We will start with the classic hello world! example of electronics, a flashing LED. This is the best example to start with any new hardware platform as it gives us an opportunity to verify that the required software tools/drivers are installed properly and ready to rock. Hardware Setup In this example, we will connect the LD1 and D1 pins of J3 header together with a jumper wire as shown below. This will connect the LD1 LED near the bottom right corner of

One of the simplest way to program the ESP8266 chip on board EasyESP-1 is using the Arduino IDE. Following steps describe how to enable the ESP8266 support in the Arduino environment. Step 1 : Install Arduino IDE The first step toward setting up the Arduino platform for programming EasyESP-1 is to download and install the Arduino IDE. Go to the Arduino website and download Arduino IDE 1.6.11. Step 2: Install ESP8266 core package Next step is to install the ESP8266 core for Arduino IDE. It is an add-on that allows to write sketches for ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE and its libraries. The easiest way

This ESP8266 controlled garage door opener activates the garage switch via commands send over an web browser. In addition, it also records the activities to a Google Sheet using the IFTTT.com services. There seems to be an unstoppable drive in the hacker DIY community for web based garage door openers and we were compelled to respond. The garage door opener we have opens/shuts from a push button switch that basically creates a short to connect two terminals on the garage door opening unit. That allows easy implementation because all that is required is a ESP8266 controlled relay wired across those two terminals
