Internet of Things (IoT) has seen exponential growth over the past couple of years. A new study from International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that there will be almost 42 billion connected devices within the year 2025, generating over 80 zettabytes (ZB) of data. As the number of IoT devices grows; the amount of data grows, along with that, grows the need for superior…
Many buildings still use keys, keypads, and access cards to enforce access control. These legacy methods rely on a password or physical tokens, which are no longer a secure access control methods and incur a substantial overhead. In recent years, there has been an increasing shift toward biometric access control that provides access based on physical characteristics.

When developing robotic projects, motors are one of the most important parts of the whole project and there is always a need for multiple motors. But GPIO pins of the Microcontroller boards don’t allow you to draw the amount of current required for a motor. That’s why the motor driver ICs are used. You can build a motor driver circuit by using some electronic components or…
“Good morning. It’s 7 A.M. The weather in Malibu is 72 degrees…” these were the first words of JARVIS when being introduced in the Marvel Cinematics Universe. Most Iron Man fans should be able to recollect this scene and remember that JARVIS was able to open a window (kind-of) in the morning and give updates on time and weather. In the movie, the window Glasses were actually…
Azure IoT Hub, the cloud computing service by Microsoft enables developers to connect, monitor, and manage billions of IoT devices on a single platform. It is already used in various IoT applications like home automation systems, security, surveillance, and monitoring systems. To demonstrate the capabilities of Azure IoT hub, we are going to build a…
Over the past few years, IoT (Internet of Things) devices have become an indistinguishable part of our daily lives. From smart homes, smart bulbs to smart appliances; creators and developers are incorporating this technology to create a network of connected devices that makes our day-to-day life a little more exciting. All this has been made possible because of the ease…
