Near-field communication (NFC) is a set of protocols which enables two devices to establish communication by bringing them closer to each other. Most commonly known NFC devices are used in contactless payment systems on credit and debit cards (sometimes referred to as contactless cards). Apart from that usage, NFC can be used for sharing contacts, photos, videos or files exactly like Bluetooth but … [Read more...]
Tips For Building Digital Switch With ESP32 Arduino
There are some design considerations to increase safety while building an ESP32 Arduino based physical switch controlled by IoT project. In our earlier guide (Controlling AC Powered Appliances With ESP32 and IBM Watson IoT), we have shown the basic of how to use a pushbutton and IoT control together. The case will be using both the pushbutton and IoT control independent. Our that guide is a … [Read more...]
Required Circuit For Bare Minimum ESP32 Module
When you need many ESP32 for projects then you'll save money by avoiding full development board. Import tax is quite higher in many countries, yet the bare ESP32 module cost only $3. Bare minimum ESP32 module is more than System on Chip. ESP32 module, unfortunately, does not have built-in USB–TTL/ UART hardware. That costs $1.5 per piece and you do not need to connect USB–TTL/ UART hardware … [Read more...]
Develop WEB Applications with ESP32 and IBM Watson IoT
Here is How to Develop Web Applications with ESP32 and IBM Watson IoT. Often, using an HTML page with JavaScript is practical than developing an Android App. Because, web applications can be hosted on own cloud server or cloud storage service - thus it becomes device independent. Securing access to such web application usually, need minimal configuration for the Apache2 server. Cloud storages … [Read more...]
ESP32 Arduino : Fetching Current Weather Data (No JSON Parsing)
ESP32 Arduino means, an ESP32 dev board (which costs $8) and Arduino IDE configured for ESP32 in the way we described in an earlier guides. Our examples with IBM Watson IoT not fully easy guides for the newbie. This guide on Internet of Things (IoT) is relatively easier than them. To follow this guide, you need to sign-up for free account on OpenWeatherMap … [Read more...]
Guide to Run Air Conditioner Economically and Safely
Improper setup of air conditioner either can lead to reduced life of the machine or reduced life of the owner. Although the former fate is more common, later fate not just rare across the globe. Manufacturers of air conditioner like heavy duty electrical system will assume that the owners are knowledgeable enough to arrange technicians for correct electrical setup and heat insulation. An air … [Read more...]
Technically Best Smartphones for Text and Video Chat
Text and video chat have become important ways of communicating via smartphone. Even just a few years ago, not even 50% of smartphone users used mobile applications for video calls on a regular basis. Unfortunately, till today commonly the smartphones are not judged for their ergonomics and features for text chat and video chat. The differences between various smartphones not only limited to the … [Read more...]
ESP32 Deep Sleep : Push Button Message to IBM Watson IoT
We already demonstrated how to send message to IBM Watson IoT platform using ESP32 Arduino with just a button press. We have several non-IoT guides on pushbutton with Arduino including simple basic Arduino Blink LED With Pushbutton. Learning various logics with pushbutton will hugely help the beginners as pushbutton from the binary way of thought is a basic sensor to convey 0 or 1. Working with … [Read more...]
M5Stack (ESP32 Arduino) : Modular, Stackable, Wearable IoT Platform
The M5Stack is ESP32 Arduino by heart. It is a modular, stackable, wearable IoT platform for development which is obviously Open Source. There are many stackable ESP32 or other 32 bit Arduino compatible prototyping boards. The big difference of M5Stack with them is that it has an enclosure, display, pushbuttons, microSD card slot, USB-C, loudspeaker, and extension connectors. Official website … [Read more...]
Butane Gas Blow Torch Welding for DIY Projects
Gas blow torch is a common tool used in metal works. Many of the metal things we use, buy use this simple tool. Here is a basic guide to the required tools for butane gas welding. Copper tubing, aluminium boxes are common materials which needs soldering. In an earlier guide we talked about cutting and drilling tools. With all the hand tools and an inkjet printer, it is possible to convert a 3D … [Read more...]
