Basic Electronic Circuits

Missing a visitor at the front door usually means missed package deliveries, keeping friends waiting outside, or missing unexpected guests. Standard doorbells only work if we happen to be sitting nearby and the chime is loud enough to hear. If we are stuck in a work meeting, listening to music with headphones, or away from home, it is easy to miss the ring, leaving…

When an ageing parent falls at home, the immediate injury is usually only half the danger. The real danger begins during the critical time they spend waiting on the floor for help. Lying immobile for extended periods can rapidly lead to severe dehydration, hypothermia, and muscle breakdown, even in homes where family members are regularly around. Expecting an injured…

"Is it going to rain, or should I leave the windows open?" we would have asked ourselves numerous times. Now the weather is clear, but sometimes the rain will suddenly start pouring. The standard weather forecast application may give you accurate forecasts near the airport or other places, which are kilometres away from us, but it will not give us accurate forecasts…

This tutorial shows us how to build our own functional DIY ESP32 metal detector from scratch using an affordable Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller, a handful of easily available electronic components, and a simple, hand-wound copper coil. Instead of relying on expensive, specialised sensors or complex industrial circuits, this  PI metal detector circuit project uses…

We're all familiar with live GPS tracking; it tells us where a vehicle or device is right now. But what if the system could do more than just show the location? That's where geofencing using IoT comes in.  Imagine receiving an instant alert the moment a vehicle leaves home, reaches college, enters the office, or moves into a restricted area. Instead of…

Imagine you've just sent a parcel through a courier service. As soon as it leaves your hands, you start wondering what is happening to it. Is it being handled carefully? Has it been dropped or damaged? Is it still on the right route? Will it reach the destination safely and on time? The truth is, once we send a parcel, we have very little idea about what happens…

This DIY tutorial is all about making our home lighting smart and fun without any complicated steps. We can connect a standard 12V LED strip to a tiny wi-fi chip and build our own ESP32 WLED controller custom smart lighting system, which can be completely controlled from a smartphone or computer.

This DIY ESP32 based WLED controller…

Imagine driving into a crowded parking area and not knowing whether a space is available or not. This project solves exactly that problem by building a smart, automatic parking space detection system using the ESP32-CAM and the CircuitDigest Cloud API. With just a button press, the device captures a real-time image of the parking area and sends it over the internet…

When we see movies, we often see scenes where a villain uses a gun with a face detection system that automatically targets a person accurately. It may look like a very complex technology that is difficult to build on our own, right? Not anymore.  Building a face detection system using a Raspberry Pi might sound like something out of a Hollywood thriller, but it…

In this project, we build a complete ESP32 GSM voice calling device using the GeoLinker GL868 board. The main idea of this project is very simple. When we press a push button connected to the ESP32 board, it will automatically call a fixed phone number. Also, if someone calls the SIM card inside the module, the call will be automatically attended, and we can talk…

Have you ever watched a movie where a system instantly detects a person’s face, like in security doors or smart targeting systems, and thought, “This looks too complex to build in real life?” It might seem like something only high-end systems can do, but the reality today is very different. With compact and powerful modules like the ESP32-CAM, building an ESP32-CAM…
