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.
The ESP32-based M5Stack ATOM from Espressif is the smallest (24 x 24mm) development board available in the market, which is designed for portable embedded systems and IoT development projects. M5Stack is the most cost-effective product due to its small size and there is no battery integrated to it. The M5Stack has two types of units in the ATOM series, ATOM Matrix, and ATOM…
Energy Monitors, whether covering the entire apartment or deployed to monitor just one appliance, provide a way for you to keep track of your consumption and make necessary adjustments. While they are increasingly becoming available on the market, the maker in me still feels it will be a great idea to build a DIY version that could be tailored to meet specific personal…
For the last many years, automobile manufacturers have turned their attention towards self-driven cars. It all became serious when Google launched its self-driving car project (Wamyo) in 2009. A few years later, Elon Musk announced Tesla would build a self-driving system into its cars and in November 2018, Tesla launched a feature called Navigate on Autopilot. By 2013, major…
Lora Networks are getting increasingly popular, with so many IoT devices popping around this, this low power long-range wireless communication could fit into a plethora of application. We have already used the popular SX1278 LoRa Transceiver Module to build an Arduino Lora Node and a Raspberry Pi Lora Node to perform Peer to Peer Communication. But if you want to…
Maxim Integrated introduces the MAX32520 ChipDNA secure Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller, the first secure microcontroller with built-in physically unclonable function (PUF) technology for financial- and government-grade security. Maxim’s PUF technology allows for multiple layers of protection to provide the most advanced key-protection technology in a cost-effective…
As applications based around Wireless Sensor Networks, Home Automation, and IoT increased, the need for alternative communication protocol asides the regular Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GSM protocols was becoming obvious. Several technologies like Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) were developed as alternatives but one standout technology, developed to specifically serve home…
We are in the Internet of Things (IoT) generation! These days, you can control your home gadgets/devices like air-conditioner, room heater, water heater, etc. remotely from anywhere and the device to do this can easily be built or purchased off the shelf. Over the course, we have also built a few IoT based home automation projects using Arduino, ESP, and Raspberry Pi. But…
Arm has introduced significant additions to its artificial intelligence (AI) platform, including machine learning (ML) IP, the Arm Cortex-M55 processor, and Arm Ethos- U55 NPU. These new devices are designed to deliver a combined 480x uplift in ML performance, the new IP and supporting unified toolchain allows the AI hardware and software developers to implement innovative…
The Things Industries has announced its Enterprise Internet of Things network management software on Amazon Web Services Marketplace (AWS Marketplace). This service will allow customers to integrate LoRaWAN easily within their current developer operations in AWS, without imposing any further overhead costs.
Bringing LoRaWAN to Amazon Web Services…
Panasonic Industry has launched a new Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy module called PAN1780 based on the Nordic nRF52840 SoC single-chip controller. The module is powered by a Cortex M4F Processor, with 256kB RAM and 1MB Flash memory, it also has a high sensitivity and output power of +8 dBm making it suitable for long-range applications. Furthermore, the module can broadcast a…
For most people out there, the first embedded development board that they would have worked on would most probably be an Arduino Board. But, like as well all can agree, your Arduino could take you only so far and someday you have to move to a native microcontroller platform. This process can be made a lot easier with this STM32 development board as it can support all Arduino…
Have you ever set an important reminder on your phone only to miss it because the device was in silent mode, left in another room, or buried under tons of notifications? While smartphones have made reminders convenient, they are not always used in every situation, especially for elderly people, students, or professionals with busy schedules.To solve this problem, we…
