DTH Sensor Programming
DHT11 and DHT22 sensors are sensors that can be attached to a microcontroller on a breadboard and can measure the humidity and temperature of a place. The differences between these sensors are that DHT22 is more expensive, has better temperature reading ranges, and is more accurate. These sensors can be connected to microcontrollers such as ESP32 or Arduino and can be used by programs to read the values. In this article, using two different examples, the use of DHT11 and DHT22 Sensors is demonstrated using ESP32. The circuit is made using ESP32 microcontroller and DHT sensors in actual and on ...
Read MoreThe Adafruit.io
Adafruit.io is needed to display the IOT project’s data online in real-time. It is a cloud server that can be used to connect to IoT devices through wifi and to control these devices through a dashboard. It can be used as a free service and it has got a simple easy-to-use interface to design dashboards. The key for authentication can be generated directly from the user’s account and can be included in the program to connect the IOT components to the respective dashboard. The feeds are important to make connections, using the program that connects the IOT circuit to the ...
Read MoreColor Shades using RGB Led
To learn about RGB led and the difference between single-color LEDs, it is important to make a circuit using a microcontroller such as ESP32 or Arduino and RGB led. Then it is important to manage that circuit using a program. There are some simulators available to make the beginner of IOT learn such concepts without even having the IOT devices available. However, to get real results, using the circuit components and making the actual circuit is important. In this article, using two different examples, the way to use the RGB led is given. In example 1, the actual circuit using ...
Read MoreThe First IOT Program
To start learning IoT, first, it is important to learn how to make circuits using a breadboard and a microcontroller. Then it is important to control that circuit using a program. There are some simulators available to make the beginner of IOT learn both these concepts without even having the IOT devices available. However, to get real results, using the circuit components and making the actual circuit is important. In this article, using two different examples, the way to start IOT programming is given. In example 1, the Wokwi simulator is used and in example 2, the actual circuit using ...
Read MoreBMP 180 Pressure Sensor
BMP180 sensor is a sensor that can be attached to a microcontroller on a breadboard and can measure the pressure, temperature, and altitude of a place. It can be connected to controllers such as ESP32 or Arduino and can be used by programs to read the values. In this article, using three different examples, the use of the BMP180 Sensor is demonstrated using ESP32. The circuit is made using an ESP32 microcontroller and BMP180 sensor and the programs to measure the temperature or pressure or altitude are written using Arduino software. Example 1 − Measuring the temperature of a place ...
Read MorePotentiometer and Examples
In this article, using two different examples, the use of potentiometers is demonstrated using ESP32. In the first example, the trimmer type of potentiometer is used to vary the voltage between 0 and 3V. In the second example, the slider potentiometer is used on Wokwi Simulator to show the control of a servo motor. Wokwi simulator is software that can be used for running the code and virtually testing the results without buying the components. The actual diagram of the components is often different from those used in Wokwi, so the actual form of the slider potentiometer is given in ...
Read MoreCreating a Melody Program
A simple buzzer can be connected to the ESP32 controller for producing sound. It can also be used to produce melodies. In this article, using two different examples, the C code is used on Arduino to make the buzzer play the melody. In the first example, “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”, the poem’s notes are played and in the second example, another famous poem “Jingle Bell” is used for playing the note while making two colored LEDs on and off to create a light show with music. Example 1: Playing the poem notes using buzzer and ESP32 The circuit is made ...
Read MoreDifference between Analog and Digital Multimeter
A multimeter is a multipurpose electronic measuring instrument extensively used by professionals to determine the faults in a circuit. A typical multimeter can be used to measure various electrical quantities such as voltage, current, resistance, transistor gain, etc.Based on the design and method used for the measurement, multimeters are classified into two types −Analog Multimeter (AMM)Digital Multimeter (DMM)The various differences between an analog multimeter and a digital multimeter are shown in the table below. We have also included a brief description on analog and digital multimeters.What is an Analog Multimeter?An analog multimeter is a type of multimeter which displays the ...
Read MoreDifference between CVT and UPS
There are two different technologies namely, CVT (Constant Voltage Transformer) and UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) that are used for providing power conditioning and protection. A CVT is an electrical device used to provide a constant output voltage despite variations in the input voltage or load, whereas a UPS is an electronic device used to provide power during power outages and voltage fluctuations. Read this article to learn more about CVT and UPS and how they are different from each other. What is a CVT? A CVT is an electrical device that is used to provide a constant and stable ...
Read MoreBrushless DC Motors
An electric motor is an energy conversion device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Therefore, the input to an electric motor is electricity, while the output of the electric motor is mechanical energy in the form of rotation of the shaft. Based on the type of electrical energy that motor requires to operate, the electric motors are classified into two types, i.e. AC Motor and DC Motor. An AC Motor or alternating current motor is one that transforms electrical energy in the form of alternating current into rotational mechanical energy. On the other hand, an electric motor which transforms ...
