Internet of Things

The term internet of things was coined only in 2008, but within the next 10 years (in 2018) there were already more than 7 billion IoT devices connected to the internet, and the number is set to increase exponentially. IoT has enabled multiple inter-connected devices to sense and transfer data wirelessly over the internet to provide vital data and control in areas like Home automation, Location tracking, Asset monitoring etc..

This section provides a wide variety of IoT Projects with complete resources including circuit diagram and code, allowing you to build and test your own IoT applications. It also discusses the recent IoT Technology Trends and keeps you updated with the latest IoT News.

Infineon Technologies has released a reliable and optimized Wi-Fi 4 solution with next-generation WPA3 Security standard for IoT applications like smart thermostats, smart lighting, etc. This new Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/BLE combo chip named CYW43439 makes it easier for product designers to comply with new security regulations that are currently emerging worldwide.

Over the course of a few years, RGB LEDs are getting popular day by day due to its beautiful color, brightness, and enticing lighting effects. That is why It is used in many places as a decorative item, an example can be the home or an office space. Also, we can use the RGB lights in the kitchen and also in a gaming console. They’re also great in a kid’s playroom or bedrooms…

In this article, we are building an AC Fan Regulator Circuit, which is able to control the speed of the fan by restricting the flow of current to the fan. The term AC Ceiling Fan Regulator is a mouthful, hence we will simply call it a fan regulator from now on. A fan regulator circuit is a crucial component that is used to increase or decrease the speed of an AC Fan/motor…

For many engineers and makers, the journey into electronics and microcontrollers probably started with an Arduino board. From making a simple LED blink to reading sensors , controlling motors, and building our first embedded projects, Arduino has been a familiar starting point for learning and experimenting with electronics.

But the…

The drone/UAV market has gained immense popularity over the past few years owing to the increase in their commercial applications along with their slashing prices. Today there are many different types of drones, being used in multiple applications, from indoor to outdoor inspections, and have gained major prominence. We have previously discussed how drone delivery can impact…

Relays are common in many switching circuits where controlling (turning ON or OFF) an AC load is required. But due to the electromechanical characteristic, a mechanical relay has a self-life, and also it can only toggle the status of the load and cannot perform other switching operations like dimming or speed control. Apart from this, an electromechanical…
