Solenoid Driver Circuit Solenoids are very commonly used actuators in many process automation systems. There are many types of solenoids. For instance, there are solenoid valves which can be used to open or close water or gas pipelines, and there are solenoid plungers which are used to produce linear motion. One very common application of a solenoid that most of us would have come across is the… |

ESP32 Real Time Clock using DS3231 Module In this tutorial, we will learn about Real Time Clock (RTC) and its interfacing with the ESP32 and OLED display. We will use the DS3231 RTC module to keep track of the correct time and display it on the SPI OLED by using ESP32 as our microcontroller. ESP32 is more than a microcontroller. It has a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip inside it and 39 GPIO pins.… |
