Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, we will create a wifi temperature monitoring system. For reading, we will use the DS18B20 sensor. For data processing and webpage creation, we will use our already known ESP8266. The project will be built as follows: Circuit assembly Code for reading the DS18B20 sensor (we will use Serial for tests). Creation of the webpage (we will use SPIFFS to store in FLASH). But first, let's know a little about the sensor and the communication model it uses. Materials For this project, we will need the following items: For this project, we will need the following items: 1 x ESP8266 1x DS18B20 Sensor 1x Breadboard 1x 4k7 Ohms resistor DS18B20 DS18B20 is a digital temperature sensor with good precision, good customization, practical use, reliable and ...
Engineering is one of the areas in your life that you really enjoy. Taking on new projects, getting them working, and then getting them operating as they should is what you are passionate about. For as long as you can remember, you have been passionate and interested in engineering, but have you ever thought seriously about turning it into a career? Engineering careers, whether in the consumer sector or in the B2B sector, are highly sought-after roles. Getting qualified and developing your skills along the way is important to make the transition from hobby to career, but what else should you be thinking about? Turning Your Passion into a Career When you turn your passion, or your hobby, into a career, it can feel fantastic, but it can also feel like a time that is filled with self-doubt an ...
Do you care about SEO? Then you must protect your content from scrapping. You can lose the competitive advantage and revenues to content scraping. Google can penalize you if they detect that your content is plagiarized. You can incur losses in your website traffic up to 99%. Since content is the primary driver of traffic and sales, protecting it from scrapping and others increases your sales and boost your SEO. Content scraping is carried out by bots called scrappers controlled and commanded by a cybercriminal. Scrapper bots repurpose the scrapped content to malicious actions. These actions include copyright violation, duplicating the content to an attacker’s website, and stealing organic traffic. To understand how to protect yourself from scrapping, let us first understand how the bots sc ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we will have a look at How to Create Web Server with ESP8266 using SPIFFS. We've already seen how to create a web server and how to provide an HTML page on our ESP8266. We use the PROGMEM command to store an HTML code in FLASH memory. For a simple page, this works fine, but what if we have a more complex webpage? With a better style? What if we want to include images? Today we will learn how to use SPIFFS with ESP8266 to store files (regardless of type) in FLASH memory. What is SPIFFS? SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System) is a system designed for managing SPI flash memory in embedded devices. Its main goal is to use minimal RAM to access files. It's very useful when using pen drives, memory cards, and the ESP8266's flash memory. ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, we will create a web server with ESP8266 microcontroller to control the activation of an LED. The goal is to understand how the ESP8266 connects to a WiFi network, how it sets up a web server, and how it is possible to exchange information between the browser and the esp8266. Components Required 1x Computer/notebook with Arduino 1x Mini-USB cable. 1x NodeMCU (ESP8266 Breakout Board) Internet Browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE…) ESP8266 Libraries for Arduino IDE For this project, we will use two libraries: ESP8266WiFi : This library carries all the functions necessary for the ESP8266 to connect to a wifi network. ESPAsyncWebServer : This library carries the functions needed to create and manage an EB server. Creating the code We can divide the ...
When the time comes to commence house renovations, one of the first things you might ask yourself is whether you should undertake some of the tasks on your own. While you might save money on some jobs, it can sometimes be at the detriment of a high-quality finish. This holds true when it comes to interior and exterior painting and decorating. When your property is in need of a fresh lick of paint, here are just a few of the many reasons why calling in the experts can be the best option for you. They Boast Years of Experience When you entrust painting and decorating experts like Dublin Painters with the task of refreshing your home’s interior and exterior, you can rest assured that they have the necessary experience to do the job to a high standard. Even though it might seem like anyone can ...
Hey Guys! Hope you’re well. I welcome you on board. In this post today, I’ll walk you through PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) in detail. It's our 4th tutorial in the PCB learning series. In the 1st tutorial, we studied printed circuit board(PCB) in detail and learned that PCB provides physical support and electrical connection through conductive copper layers for the electronic components placed on the board. We have seen in our previous tutorials that when we place our PCB order on some PCB fabrication house, they provide us with a PCB board without electronic components. We have to solder the electronic components on the board. But now these PCB companies also offer a service to provide finished PCB boards with electronic components attached. Such a finished PCB board with electron ...

Hello Friends! Hope you’re well. Today, I am going to share the 11th chapter in the PCB learning series. In today’s post, I’ll walk you through PCB Panelization, where we will discuss its definition, types, combinations, manufacturing guidelines etc. In PCB companies, CNC machines are used for PCB manufacturing and assembly. These CNC machines are capable of designing PCBs of quite large sizes. But normally, small-sized PCBs are used in electronic products. So, in order to fully utilize the power of CNC machines, PCB design is replicated multiple times(let’s say 10) and this final design is then fed to the CNC machine. This process of manufacturing multiple PCBs on a single board is called PCB Panelization and the final board created is called PCB Panel. A PCB Panel containing 6 PCB design ...
Hi Friends! Hope you’re well today. Happy to see you around. In this post today, I’ll walk you through Latest Proteus Libraries for Engineering Students V2.0. We have been designing proteus libraries for our blog readers for quite a while now. You might have visited our Arduino Libraries for Proteus V2.0 and Analog Sensors Libraries for Proteus V2.0. We keep working on those libraries and make sure the bugs are removed and you always get the updated version of those libraries. We are going to share the most advanced and upgraded version of Proteus Libraries V2.0 we have designed for our readers. These libraries are more robust, fast, and efficient than previous versions. Moreover, we have converted some digital sensors to analog sensors, helping you pick from a wide range of libraries for ...
