Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we learnt how to make HTTP POST from ESP32 to the IFTTT server.
In this tutorial, we will learn about another application of the ESP32 module in the field of IoT (Internet of Things). We can publish multiple sensor readings from ESP32 to Google sheets via the IFTTT web service.
IFTTT is used as a third-party web service to integrate Google sheets with ESP32.

Creating an IFTTT Account for Integrating ESP32 with Google Sheets
We are going to create an applet (on the IFTTT server) that is responsible to integrate the Webhooks and Google Sheets services.
While operating with the IFTTT server there are some services/utilities that we are going to deal with like Applets an ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. Welcome to Section 5 of the ESP32 Programming Series. In this section, we are going to interface different Embedded Sensors with the ESP32 Microcontroller Board. ESP32 development board is featured with some inbuilt sensors(i.e. hall effect sensor, capacitive touch sensor) so, in the initial tutorials of this section, we will explore these built-in ESP32 sensors and in the later lectures, we will interface third-party sensors with the ESP32.
In today's lecture, we will discuss the working/operation of the ESP32 built-in Hall Effect Sensor. Hall Effect sensor is used to detect the variation in the magnetic field of its surroundings. So, let's first understand What's Hall Effect:
What is the Hall Effect?
The Hall Effect phenomenon was fir ...
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's post, I am going to share How to do USB Communication between Android and Arduino. I have designed many projects before in which I have interfaced Android and Arduino and communicated between them but in those projects I have used either Wifi or Bluetooth as a mode for communication. But recently I got a project in which I have to do USB Communication between Android and Arduino, they have this restriction of using USB. So, I have to work on it and I got it working successfully. You should also have a look at How to Install Android Studio. and Getting Started with Android.
So, today I thought to share it with you guys. It isn't much difficult but will need a little pa ...
Hi Folks! Hope this finds you well. Thank you for stopping by. In this post today, I'll be discussing the Introduction to BD137.
BD137 is an NPN medium power transistor mainly employed in switching and audio amplification applications. It is composed of silicon material and comes in the TO-126 package. The collector-base and collector-emitter voltages are 45V and the emitter-base voltage is 5V which details that only 5V is required to bias this transistor and start transistor action. The collector current is 1.5A which documents that it can support loads under 1.5A. Power dissipation is 12.5W and storage temperature ranges from -55 to 150C.
Read this entire post, as I'll walk you through the complete Introduction to BD137 detailing pinout, datas ...
Hey pals! Welcome to the board. We are talking about a fascinating experiment about The Engineering Projects. We all know about the Traffic Lights. But today, we'll see inside the Traffic Lights and find some interesting working of the circuit of Traffic Lights. Before this, just have a look at the topics of discussion:
What is the Traffic Lights circuit with 555 Timer?
What does the 555 timer do in Traffic Lights?
What is the purpose of the 4017 IC Counter in the circuit?
How does the circuit of Traffic Lights work with 555 Timer IC?
How can we perform experiments with the circuit of 555 Timer Traffic Lights in Proteus ISIS?
In addition, we'll see some important points about the topic in DID YOU KNOW sections.

Hello geeks, welcome to our new project. In this project, we are going to make a very useful and interesting electronics tool that we as engineers or tinkers need in everyday life. We use the capacitor in most of our projects for various purposes such as filters or power supplies. Most of the time, we do not have a provision to measure the capacitor value in our digital multimeter. So, this time we came up with the solution. Hence, we will make our own capacitance measurement tool using Arduino.
Rather than investing in new electronic equipment, we will use an Arduino board and some basic components to measure the capacitance. To make this project, we should have some working knowledge about the capacitor. Here, we will not discuss the in-depth wo ...
Hello Everyone! Hope you’re well today. In today's tutorial, we will have a look at D13005K NPN Transistor. We will also study D13005K Datasheet, Pinout, Power Ratings, Equivalents & Applications. As its an NPN transistor, so major charge carriers are electrons. D13005K is mainly employed for switching and amplification purpose.
Let's first recall NPN transistors: NPN transistor consists of 3 terminal, named as:
Emitter.
Collector.
Base.
If we provide voltage > 0.7V at base terminal, NPN transistor gets forward biased & starts conducting. If Base voltage D13005K NPN Transistor:
D13005K NPN Transistor
D13005K is a bipolar NPN transistor, mainly used for amplification and switching purposes.
It contains three layers where two n-doped layers surround one p-doped la ...
Hello friends , I hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a new project which is XBee Arduino Interfacing. In my previous tutorials in the XBee series, we have had first Introduction to XBee Module and after that we have also discussed How to Interface XBee Module with Computer. Now we are all well aware of XBee Module and can easily do the XBee Arduino Interfacing. We have seen in the previous tutorial that XBee Module works on Serial protocol so we have to use the Serial Pins of Arduino UNO board.
If you want to use any other microcontroller then you can its not a big issue, just see the way how the programming goes and convert it to the language of your microcontroller i.e. PIC Microcontrollers or 805 ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing fine. In today's tutorial, I am going to share a new Soil Moisture Sensor Library for Proteus V2.0. You should also have a look at its previous version i.e. Soil Moisture Sensor Library for Proteus V1.0. If you have worked on the previous version, it has only one soil moisture sensor in it, while in this library, we have added three soil moisture sensors.
First, we will have a brief introduction of the Soil Moisture sensor, then we will download the zip file containing Proteus Library files of Soil Moisture Sensor and finally, we will design a small simulation using these new sensors. So, let's get started:
What is Soil Moisture Sensor?
Soil Moisture sensor is an embedded sensor, used to measure the moist ...
Hi Friends! I welcome you on board. Happy to see you around. In this post today, I’ll detail the Introduction to CA3162.The CA3162 is a monolithic A/D converter, offering a 3-digit multiplexed BCD output. It comes with an ultra-stable internal band-gap voltage reference. With differential input, this device provides a choice of low-speed (4Hz) or high-speed (96Hz) conversion rate. It is a 16-pin device that provides dual slope A/D conversion.
