DIY Wi-Fi Jammer using NodeMCU ESP12 Have you ever thought about jamming the Wi-Fi connection network? Now days Wi-Fi password hacking is very common, so by jamming the Wi-Fi network you can block or jam any Wi-Fi connection, and no one is able to connect to that Wi-Fi network even after knowing the password. This can be done with a tiny Microcontroller ESP12E, which is also referred as Wi-Fi module or NodeMCU… |

Selecting Between a Microcontroller and Microprocessor The brain of an embedded device, which is the processing unit, is a key determinant of the success or failure of the device in accomplishing the task(s) for which it is designed. The processing unit is responsible for every process involving from input to the system, to the final output, thus selecting the right platform for the brain becomes very important during the device… |

Interfacing 16X2 LCD with ESP32 using I2C In previous tutorial, OLED is interfaced with ESP32 using SPI communication which uses 5 pins. In this tutorial, we interface 16x2 LCD with ESP32, using only 2 pins, with the help of I2C communication. It reduces number of pins used by ESP32 so that more number of ESP32 pins remain free for interfacing different sensors. What is I2C… |

Getting Started with STM32 (Blue Pill) using Arduino IDE: Blinking LED Arduino would have been the first board for many hobbyists (including me) and engineers out there when they started with electronics. However, as we start building more and dig deep we would soon realise that Arduino is not industry ready and its 8-bit CPU with a ridiculously slow clock, it does not give you enough juice for your projects. Hopefully though, we have the new… |

How to Select the Right Microcontroller for Your Embedded Application A microcontroller is essentially a small computer on a chip, like any computer, it has memory and usually programmed in embedded systems to receive inputs, perform calculations and generate output. Unlike a processor, it incorporates the memory, the CPU, I/O and other peripherals on a single chip like shown in the layout below. … |

Interfacing GSM Module with AVR Microcontroller: Send and Receive Messages GSM modules are interesting to use especially when our project requires remote access. These modules could make all actions that our normal mobile phone could do, like making/receiving a call, sending/receiving a SMS, connecting to internet using GPRS etc. You can also connect a normal microphone and speaker to this module and converse on your mobile calls. This will… |
