We are using clone of DOIT ESP-WROOM-32 Devkit V1 and for the most boards, these are "ESP32 Dev Module" to … [Read more...]
WiFi With Arduino For IoT : ESP8266, ESP32, NodeMCU, Adafruit Feather
This is not-so-formal article to introduce to ESP32, NodeMCU, Adafruit Feather to the users who are not that much used with the boards. ESP8266 has wider range of models and ESP 01 commonly seen as cheapest. Writing few guides on ESP8266 (ESP 01) is for normal for any technical website but in real life, using ESP 01 not easy. It is backdated, not exactly designed to be used with Arduino board as … [Read more...]
Wearables and Internet of Things : Part II
In the previous part of this series on Wearables and Internet of Things, we briefly discussed about the wearables. In this part, we will discuss the basics on Internet of Things and the communication protocols used in conjuction of current wearable technology. Historically wearables were simple mechanical calculators. But right now, wearables means some sort of electronics using communication … [Read more...]
Wearables and Internet of Things : Part I
Previously, we published detailed series on Internet of Things in the smart home. Wearable technology often also called fashionable technology or fashion electronics. Although today they are mostly electronic devices with micro-controllers which can be incorporated into clothing or worn on the body, wearable itself does not always have to be fitness tracker or smartwatches. Development of … [Read more...]
