Qorvo's QPA9510, A Power Amplifier Supporting GSM, UHF, and FM Bands Sub-1 GHz radio links sit at the core of a wide range of products, including public safety radios, smart utility meters, RFID readers, and vehicle telematics units. Many of these systems now need to work across several regional frequency allocations without a hardware redesign for each market, while still running efficiently on battery power in a compact footprint. Qorvo's QPA9510 power… |

How to Build an Elderly Fall Detection System with XIAO ESP32-S3 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… |

How to Build an AI-based Air Quality Monitoring using ESP32 Air is a necessity for us human beings, so monitoring it is important. Air quality is monitored in terms of the Air Quality Index(AQI), a single-number scale used to tell how polluted the air is and what health effects it might cause. Particulate Matter is the microscopic solid or liquid which is present in air in the form of dust or smoke. Particulate Matter is the… |

We Built an ESP32 Wall Climbing Beetle Robot We can see wall-climbing robots from hobby-level to serious problem-solving ones that are used for inspection, surveillance, cleaning, etc. When we generally talk about robots, a robot can be a firefighting robot, a human-following robot, a self-balancing robot or can be of any type that has some specific features or solves a specific kind of problem. If we talk… |

Built an ESP32 Based Metal Detector System 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… |

How to Build an IoT-Based Multi-Geofencing System for Smart Tracking 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… |

How to Build a Smart Parcel Tracking System Using IoT 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… |

Inside the ESP32-2424S012C Development Board: Exploring the Hardware Teardown This is the teardown tutorial of ESP32-2424S012C, an ESP32 C3-based development board with an integrated display. This device comes in very handy, as it has our favourite ESP32-C3 onboard, a 1.28” IPS Capacitive Touch Screen display with a 240×240 px resolution. The coolest thing about this is that it can be custom-programmed to our specifications using a wide range… |

Build an ESP32 GSM Calling Device with Auto Answer Using GeoLinker 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… |

Getting Started with Arduino LVGL for ESP32 Display In this tutorial, we are going to see how you can create a custom Graphical User Interface(GUI) using LVGL and our favourite Arduino IDE. You can use any kind of microcontroller for this project; the only thing you need to do is to include the right pins in the Arduino code. Here, I’m using an ESP32-C3 based smartwatch for the demonstration. This has a display, touch, controller and… |

This DIY Voice Recorder Uses AI to Turn Spoken Ideas into Summarized Notes A maker recently built a compact portable voice recorder designed specifically for capturing ideas before they are forgotten. Instead of relying on a smartphone app, the project focuses on a dedicated hardware workflow built around an ESP32, combining local audio recording with AI-based transcription and summarization. The device records audio directly to an SD card, provides onboard playback… |

Maker Builds 120,000-Lumen 1.5kW Water-Cooled Flashlight A maker recently engineered an extreme, portable lighting system built around one of the brightest LEDs available, capable of producing more than 120,000 lumens while consuming roughly 1.5 kW of power. Because such an LED generates enormous heat, traditional cooling methods quickly fail. To prevent thermal damage, the project focuses heavily on a liquid-cooling system designed to dissipate… |
