ESP32 BLE/WiFi development board

Posted on by One comment

We have added a new IoT product to our Tindie store. It is a rapid prototyping and development board for the powerful ESP32 WiFi/BLE module. It is targeted toward rapid development of a wide variety of IoT applications, supporting both WiFi and Bluetooth connectivities. The development board breaks out all the module’s pins to 0.1″ headers and provides a CP2102 USB-TTL serial adapter on board for easy programming. The board also features on-board power supply regulator and an integrated LiPo Battery Charger. ESP-WROOM-32 is a powerful, generic Wi-Fi+BT+BLE MCU module that targets a wide variety of applications, ranging from low-power sensor

Printed Circuit Boards – Things You Must Know as a Beginner

Posted on by Leave a comment

A systematic arrangement of electrical components defined by pathways, signal traces, and conductive paths is called a Printed Circuit Board. If as a beginner you question, ‘what’s a PCB?’, then for simpler understanding, you can look at a PCB this way. Functionally speaking, the PCB offers mechanical support to electrical connections arranged in a logical manner with the help of pads, tracks, and other features. You can find the best PCBs at a cheap PCB manufacturer such as Elecrow. Types of PCB PCBs can be categorized as follows: Single Sided PCBs Multilayer PCBs Double Sided PCBs Flex PCBs Rigid PCBs Rigid-Flex

Introducing TI MSP430 Microcontrollers

Posted on by 10 comments

Texas Instruments (TI) is a well-known US-based semiconductor manufacturer. TI is perhaps best known to many as the manufacturer of some of the fanciest scientific calculators in the market. Of the long list of electronic devices produced by TI, microcontrollers are on the top. TI manufactures some of the coolest and advanced microcontrollers of the market today. There are several categories of micros from TI. These include general purpose low power MCUs which mainly comprise of MSP430s, ARMs like TM4Cs, MSP432s, etc, micros for wireless communications like CC2xxx series, ARM + DSP micros, DSP-specialized micros like the TMS32xxx series and

Arduino powered weather station

Posted on by Leave a comment

This Instructables describes how to build a complete WiFi enabled weather station using Arduino and ESP8266 along with a bunch of sensors that collect environment data like temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, UV level, and rain. The location weather station is the most important part of installation. If weather station is located under a tree or an overhang, the rainfall data measured by the station will not be correct. If you place your weather station in an alley, you could very well get a wind tunnel effect on the anemometer, resulting in erroneous wind data. Weather station should have good “fetch”, or

Arduino midi controller

Posted on by Leave a comment

An Arduino powered midi controller project for music makers. This my first arduino (microcontroller) project. I want to learn arduino with a usefull and large project. I decided to make a midi DJ controller that have all the functions needed to be standalone to mix. Every kind of sensor (potentiometer, push button,…) can be learn independantly and I think the best way is to learn “how it works” and “how it is connected” for each sensor step by step.
