How has the relentless pursuit of precision and efficiency in manufacturing reshaped our modern world? The global manufacturing sector has evolved dramatically, driven by continuous innovations in technology and processes. This evolution is highlighted by the significant growth of the advanced manufacturing market, which is projected to reach unprecedented values in the coming years. Its role in the production of high-quality, durable goods cannot be overstated.
We’re witnessing a transformation in the way products are made. Recent industry reports show that the global advanced manufacturing market size is expected to reach significant figures by the next decade. This growth is mainly driven by the demand for stronger, more resilient components capable of withstanding extreme condition ...
Rental property management is a potentially lucrative strategy – one that can supply you with a steady stream of passive income and, if you do things right, set you up for long-term accumulation of wealth.
But at the same time, the day-to-day process of managing properties can be a headache. You’ll be responsible for overseeing the property, responding to maintenance requests, collecting rent, and dealing with problematic tenants.
Is it worth designing an automation system to handle some of these tasks on your behalf? How much value do you stand to gain?
Why Automation Is So Valuable
Let's start by talking about some of the reasons why automation is so valuable.
Time savings:
Many property owners choose to hire a property manager
to take ca ...
Hello readers, hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we are going to discuss a mechanism that allows users to update the ESP32 with a new program wirelessly or over the air (without using a USB cable to upload a new program).
Over-The-Air (OTA) programming
Fig. 1 ESP32 OTA
OTA programming is the mean by which a product manufacturer or product service provider can update the features or functionality of the device wirelessly or over the air, after the device has been deployed in the field where connecting a cable or uploading the code serially is difficult.
One key advantage of OTA is that a single central node can send an update to multiple ESPs on the same network.
The device must have a provisioning client capable of receivin ...
Hi Friends! Happy to see you here. Thank you for viewing this read. Hope you’re well today. In this post, I’m going to discuss the Analog Flex Sensor Library for Proteus. You should also have a look at Digital Flex Sensor Library for Proteus.
I’ve been adding them over the last few days intending to design and share brand new libraries that are not a part of the proteus library database already. I’m adding both simple simulation and simulation with the Arduino board to help you better understand these libraries with microcontrollers and Arduino devices.
Before I go further and walk you through on how to download and simulate Analog Flex Sensor Library for Proteus, let’s get to know what’s Flex sensor first.
Simply put, a flex sensor is used to ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we will have a look at Engineering Risk Management in detail. Risk management is a process used by companies to identify and avoid potential costs, schedule as well as technical/performance risks to a system. Once that is done, a proactive and structured approach is taken to be able to manage the number of negative impacts it may have to a company, respond immediately upon their occurrence and identify potential causes as to why such a thing happened.
In other words, risk management involves minimizing potential risks before they occur throughout the life of a project or a product. And it’s not a one-time process, it involves a continuous approach to anticipating and averting an e ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will discuss what is the Maximum Power Transfer Theorem. The power transferred from input to the output in electric circuitries is an important factor. If we have direct current circuitry then in this circuitry resistor will be taken as output. But if our circuitry is using alternating current then it will have impedance as an output.
In 1840 this theorem was given by the Moritz Von Jacobi (Jacobi was an engineer of Germany, most of his work was related to electrical machine and telegraphy), maximum power transfer theorem is also known as Jacobi's law. After the invention of this theorem had some confusion because some inventors thought that this theorem is also applicable to f ...
ESP32 is a powerful chip for Internet of Things applications. This tutorial is also based on another ESP32 application in the field of IoT.
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In the previous tutorial, we learned how to send sensor readings from ESP32 to the cloud (ThingSpeak webserver).
In this tutorial, we will learn to send HTTP POST requests from the ESP32 board to ThingSpeak and IFTTT APIs.
What is HTTP?
Fig. 1 Hypertext Transfer Protocol
HTTP stands for hypertext transfer control and it is a protocol for transferring data between a web client and a web server. Hyper text transfer protocol was invented alongside HTML (Hypertext markup language) to create the first interactive, text-based web browser: the original www or World Wid ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's lecture, we will have a look at the I2C Communication with STM32 Microcontroller board. I am going to use the Nucleo board for today's lecture. In the previous lecture, we have discussed STM32 Serial communication both in Interrupt Mode and polling Mode. Today, we will study another way of communication(i.e. I2C) with STM32. So, let's first have a look at what is I2C Communication:
What is I2C Communication?
I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a two-wire serial communication system used between integrated circuits. Like any serial protocol, one of its advantages is that of using only two lines that transmit or receive a sequence of bits, the limit is the communication speed which has been improved over the years.
The bus was conceive ...
Project delays are an inevitable part of life. Whenever a task or goal depends on multiple people to be completed, the deadline is most likely going to be pushed out. While some delays can be prevented through better project management, sometimes circumstances are beyond your control.
In a perfect world, clients would be understanding when their project gets delayed by no fault of your own, but in reality, some clients can be unforgiving. Sometimes, clients request services at the last minute or when they’re already behind schedule, and when those services are late, there are real-world consequences for the client.
Technically, it’s not your fault when a client waits until the last minute to contract an important project and there’s a delay. Waiting too long leaves no room for breakdown ...
Hello Friends! I hope you all are doing great welcoming 2022. With the start of the New Year, we would like to bring to you a new tutorial series. This tutorial series is on a programming language, plotting software, a data processing tool, a simulation software, a very advanced calculator and much more, all wrapped into one package called MATLAB.
