Everybody likes weekends. On weekends, you often drive with your family to crowded places like malls, theme parks, or circuses for outings and relaxation. But then comes one of the most frustrating parts of the trip: searching for parking. Sometimes, finding a parking space feels even harder than waking up early in the morning.Even if there is a security guard or…

Running, running, every day, we keep running to work, school, and college. In this busy routine, many of us do not even have enough time to eat breakfast properly. Then where do we find the time to clean our homes? Even when we clean, because of laziness or lack of time, we often throw all waste into the same bin without separating biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. This creates a…

What if a device could see the world the same way humans do, seeing objects, recognizing them, and understanding what they are in real time? Just like our eyes capture visuals and our brain instantly processes them, from bottles and phones to people and everyday items. It will be pretty cool, right? That is exactly what this Raspberry Pi object detection project demonstrates. You can build a…

As adults, it is our duty to follow traffic rules, and the most important rule is to wear a helmet while riding a two-wheeler and not to cross the speed limit. It's not a rule, but it's also for safety. Now, let’s think from the traffic police officer’s side. Their duty is to monitor traffic and check whether everyone is following the rules, but it is quite difficult for a traffic officer to…

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…

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…

Many visually impaired people identify currency notes by touching them. But as people grow older, their touch sensitivity may gradually decrease, making it difficult to recognise the correct denomination accurately. Imagine an elderly shopkeeper in a small roadside store who has weak eyesight and struggles to identify the money given by customers. In such situations…

We use WhatsApp almost every day so much that it has become an unavoidable part of our routine. From a simple “good morning” message to a friend to a “good night” text to family, most of our daily communication happens through it. Beyond just messages, we constantly share moments from our lives by capturing photos on our phones and instantly sending them to others.…

This project shows how to send instant WhatsApp alerts from a Raspberry Pi Pico W using WiFi and CircuitDigest Cloud WhatsApp API. The Pico W reads data from a rain sensor and, when moisture is detected, sends a notification directly to your WhatsApp. No GSM module, SIM card, or cellular hardware is required and everything works over a secure HTTPS request. The same WhatsApp notification…

In this tutorial, you will learn how to send WhatsApp messages from Arduino UNO R4 WiFi using the CircuitDigest Cloud Whastapp API. Instead of using a GSM module, SIM card, or complex WhatsApp Business API setup, this method allows your Arduino to send alerts over WiFi using a simple HTTPS request. This makes it much easier and more cost-effective to add real-time…

This project involves creating your own GPS tracker using the Xiao-ESP32-S3 microcontroller. Usually, making a GPS tracker needs extra parts like a SIM card, a GSM module, and other communication tools to send location data to a phone or computer. Building a GPS tracker with Seeed Studio XIAO has never been easier. But that’s not an issue anymore. At Circuit Digest,…
