The ESP Wi-Fi modules are microcontrollers with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (not all models) capability, developed by Espressif Systems. It consists of many development boards like ESP8266-01, ESP8266, NodeMCU, ESP12, ESP32 etc. All the development boards can be easily programmed using Arduino IDE and can be used in a variety of applications like Home Automation, Internet of things (IoT), Smart devices etc.. The below list consists of a large collection of ESP8266 projects with circuit diagram, code and hardware demonstration. You can also check out the Arduino ESP8266 projects if you have to interface an ESP with Arduino board.
In this tutorial we will interface OLED Display with NodeMCU ESP8266. NodeMCU is an open source IoT platform that includes firmware which runs on the low cost Wi-Fi enabled ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif Systems. It has GPIO pins for connecting other peripherals and it supports serial communication using SPI, I2C and UART pins. It also has pins for ADC and PWM. We…
The ESP8266-01 has been a great module to quench all our thirsts for IOT projects. Since its release, it has developed a strong community and evolved into an easy to use, cheap and powerful Wi-Fi module. Another open-source platform which is much more popular is the Arduino, it already has tons of projects built around it. Combining these two platforms will open up doors for…
This is another interesting IOT project in which we will build a Security system which can trigger an E-mail when it detects someone. This project has blend in the power of ESP8266, PIR sensor and ISD1820 Voice module. At the end of this article you would have built a fully functional Security system which can be Armed/Disarmed (Activated/De-activated) remotely via internet…
In this project we are going to make a Heart Beat Detection and Monitoring System using Arduino that will detect the heart beat using the Pulse Sensor and will show the readings in BPM (Beats Per Minute) on the LCD connected to it. It will also send the readings to ThingSpeak server using the Wi-Fi module ESP8266, so that Heart Beats can be monitored from anywhere in the…
RTC or Real Time Clock is the most commonly used module in Electronics and embedded devices to keep track of time. But the problem with RTC is that the microchips in computers are not that much accurate and they can only provide the time of local device. On the other hand, using the internet to fetch the time from NTP servers is better solution for getting time as it is more…
OTA Programming (Over the Air) is a process which allows devices to upgrade their firmware or software wirelessly without any physical access. It uses wireless technology like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS or 4G/3G rather than wired serial communication. OTA is used to reprogram the devices like microcontrollers, cellphones, computers, set-top box etc. OTA…
As the IoT revolution is booming with every single day, the number of connected devices are increasing very rapidly. In future, most of the devices will be connected with each other and will communicate in real time. One of the problem faced by these device is power consumption. This power consumption factor is one of the critical and decisive factor for any IoT device and…
Atmega16 is a low cost 8 bit microcontroller and comes with more number of GPIO’s than its previous version of microcontrollers. It has all the commonly used communication protocols like UART, USART, SPI and I2C. It has wide applications in robotics, automobile and automation industries because of its wide community support and simplicity.
Atmega16…
Welcome to another exciting Project in which we will build a Voice Controlled Home Automation System using ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, where you can control your Home AC appliances using your Voice though an Android App from anywhere in the world. Yes, your dream of making your loads (Light/Fans) to turn ON or OFF by simply using a voice command is going to come true at the end of…
IoT (Internet of Things) is no longer a buzzword. With several inspiring use cases, emanating on a daily basis, multiple firms are now discovering how they could leverage on the technology for business growth. It is fast becoming an important feature for new devices to be IoT based, irrespective of the other technologies implemented and according to gartner, by 2020, 95% of…
In this post we are going to control a Servo Motor using a web browser with the help of Arduino and Wi-Fi module ESP8266. The ESP8266 will establish a connection between the servo and the web browser through the IP address and then by moving the Slider on the web page, the servo will move accordingly. Even by setting Port Forwarding in your router, you can control the Servo…
In last tutorial, we explained controlling a Robot using Wi-Fi and Arduino, and in this article we are with our next IOT Based Project- RGB LED Flasher using Wi-Fi. Here we have used Arduino and ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module to control the colors of RGB LED, through a Android Phone, over the Wi-Fi.
In this RGB…
