Pikocube is a funny, geeky LED cube dice project with 54 LEDs, gyroscope and Wi-Fi-control made by maker Moekoe from Germany. The dice consists of an ESP8285-01F MCU, six PCBs, a 150mAh lithium battery and charging circuit, an ADXL345 gyroscope, and 54 LEDs. Its structural design is quite clever. Of course, the project is open source with all the files available. However, it is not among the … [Read more...]

Temperature Sensor Using NTC Thermistor (Arduino/NTC)
A thermistor (THERMally sensitive resISTOR) is an electrical resistance whose value changes with the temperature. Thermistors are divided into two groups, hot conductors which have a negative temperature coefficient (NTC), conduct electrically in a hot state better than in the cold state and cold conductors, which have a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) and conduct better electrically when … [Read more...]
IoT Based Pulse Oximeter With ESP32, MAX30102 and IBM Watson IoT
Pulse oximeters are in use since long during an operation, in intensive care, in the emergency room and other places such as in unpressurized aircraft. The COVID-19 pandemic made pulse oximetry technology for the consumers. Most of the finger pulse oximeters in the market lack BLE and Wi-Fi. There are only a few finger pulse oximeters which have a BLE to transmit data to the smartphone. Having a … [Read more...]
ESP32 MAX30102 Pulse Oximeter Code
In the previous guide of MAX30102, we have shown a test code with the MAX30102 module build/sold by Maker Focus mounted on a MH-ET LIVE breakout board. Our two challenges are - ESP32 is not exactly same as Arduino UNO and the good looking MH-ET LIVE breakout board is not same as the MAX30102 module sold by Sparkfun. As we commonly use the MAX30102 sensor library by Sparkfun, we need to guess which … [Read more...]
Pulse Oximeter with ESP32 and MAX30102
The MAX30100 IC is an integrated pulse oximetry module two LEDs, a photodetector, optimized optics, and low-noise analogue signal processing designed for the wearable devices and medical devices. The MAX30102 IC is an upgrade to The MAX30100 and The MAX30101 IC. Here is the datasheet of MAX30102 (website of MAXIM). The PDF will give you the outlook of the working principle of the thing. … [Read more...]
DIY Power Bank With TP4056 and MT3608 (3.3V to 12V)
For any electronics project, we require a power source. In our previous article How to Run an ESP32 on Battery, we have discussed about the challenges with direct powering with battery. As most of the projects require 3.3V DC to 5V DC, we need some system which can be charged with a mobile charger and the output voltage can be adjusted for different configurations of the power supply plans. … [Read more...]
How Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) Works
An autonomous emergency braking system is an extension of the emergency braking assistant. An emergency braking assistant is a predictive driver assistance system for motor vehicles that warns the driver in case of danger, supports emergency braking (brake assistant) or brakes automatically. This is to avoid collision with an obstacle or reduce the collision speed. Some emergency braking … [Read more...]
Required Theory For Unlocking Cars With Smartwatch (ESP32 Arduino)
In this article, we will discuss the opportunities to add a BLE controlled system of ESP32 in parallel to the central lock fitted by the company which will unlock and lock our cars based on proximity of our smartwatches. Our regular readers already learned how to use ESP32 Arduino with a buzzer to detect a Samsung Smartwatch. Also, they can track such events on IBM IoT dashboard. The car's … [Read more...]
ESP32 as Hardware Random Number Generator
The capability of the ESP32 to generate truly random numbers is important for cryptographic operations. A random number generator generates a sequence of random numbers. A hardware random number generator is also known as a true random number generator. It generates random numbers from some physical process, not from code. A fundamental distinction is made between non-deterministic and … [Read more...]
