Build Your Own Arduino Home Automation System

Image
Build a Home Automation System using ESP8266 We are going to start by setting up the ESP8266 chip. We will learn how to choose the right module for your project and get all the additional hardware  you need to use the chip. We will also see how to connect the ESP8266 to your computer so you can program it using a USB cable.  Then, we are going to see how to configure and upload code to the ESP8266 chip. For that, we will be using the Arduino IDE. This makes using the ESP8266 much  easier, as we will be using a well-known interface and language to configure the chip. We will also be able to use most of the already existing Arduino libraries for our projects. Let's start! We are first going to see how to choose the right ESP8266 module for your project. There are many modules available in the market and it is quite easy to get lost with all the choices available. How to choose your ESP8266 module T...

"Gas Alert!" Gas Project Prototype Overview

We built a quick prototype using a Raspberry Pi with (2) MQ2 gas sensors connected and transmitted the data (MQTT) to Azure (IoT Hub, Stream Analytics, BLOB) and displayed a dashboard (Power BI) that would alert you when the gas sensor was triggered (Python). This video will show a short overview of the prototype.

Learn electronics and Arduino programming by creating 3 projects! If you would like to learn electronics and Arduino programming step by step so this article is for you, in this article you will learn how to program the Arduino microcontroller and some electronics basics by creating hands-on projects , also you will  master programming basics that will help you to learn any other programming language so let’s get started What is an Arduino? Arduino is an open-source microcontroller platform and open source here means that you can get the internal design and customize it; also you can build new products based on the Arduino board. Schematic of Arduino UNO Rev3 Why Arduino is so popular and why should you use it? Arduino has many advantages that make it very popular for engineers, makers, and hobbyists: Arduino is Very easy to use: You can program the Arduino by the USB cable and without using the burner like the other microcontrollers. Arduino has a lot of ...

Embedded Systems

Image
Embedded Systems can save your life and protect you from diseases Embedded systems are everywhere around us, for example in homes, factories, cars or even in your bodies, embedded devices can be transplanted in your body to trace and locate Alzheimer, organize your heart rate, or to control the level of glucose in your blood. What exactly an embedded system is? Embedded system is a special purpose computer system that designed to perform a dedicated or one function also embedded systems have limited hardware, however you can see some embedded system devices like PDAs that perform more than one function. Extra Examples of Embedded Systems  There are a lot of examples of embedded systems that used in many divisions for example Automotive : Ignition system, engine control and the brake system (ABS, EBD….), auto parking system Consumer Electronics: like TVs, Refrigerators, Toasters, Ovens, Toys, GPS Indus...
