Raspberry Pi

Be it a boring afternoon, a monotonous job or a lonely long drive FM radio stations have always kept us entertained. While on the contradictory it should also be agreed that sometimes these FM stations get very boring with the RJ blabbering irrelevant stuff or some bugging advertisements and that might have kept you guessing why you can’t have your own FM Broadcast station…

In previous tutorials we have seen How we can build an Amazon Echo Speaker and then how can we control any Raspberry Pi GPIO using Alexa Voice. Now we are making an IoT project to control home appliances from anywhere in the world using AlexaPi and ESP-12E (or any ESP board).

Have you ever thought about a speaker which can be controlled by your voice!!! What if we can control our home appliances this way and make these appliances smarter? Voice assistants becoming more popular as we are heading towards an era of AI and IoT based systems. You have heard about Google Assistant, Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa. These all are Voice based AI systems, what…

It’s been almost two years since amazon released the Amazon ECHO voice controlled speaker and the popularity of the speaker has continued to soar for reasons which are probably not far from the astounding performance of the Alexa voice service and the fact that the platform was opened up to developers which has led to the development of Alexa compatible devices by top…

Raspberry Pi has always been the first choice for developing IoT based applications if some level of computation is involved. With the flexibility of python and strong developer community it is very easy to collect, log, analyze or report a set of data using the Pi. In this tutorial we will learn how to blend in the power of Raspberry Pi with the Amazon AWS service to…

Temperature and Humidity are the most common parameters that are being monitored in any environment. There are tons of sensors to choose from for measuring temperature and humidity, but the most used one is the DHT11 due to its decent measuring range and accuracy. It also works with one pin communication and hence is very easy to interface with Microcontrollers or…

Hall sensors are sensors which produces an electrical signal at its output when it comes in contact with a magnetic field. The analog value of the electric signal at the output of the sensor is a function of the strength of the magnetic field. Hall sensors are everywhere these days, they are being used for different reasons and in all kind of devices from mobile phones…

The MPU6050 sensor has many functions over the single chip. It consists a MEMS accelerometer, a MEMS gyro, and temperature sensor. This module is very accurate while converting analog values to digital because it has a 16bit analog to digital converter hardware for each channel. This module is capable to capture x, y and z channel at the same time. It has an I2C…

Hi guys, welcome to today’s post. One of the most fascinating thing about being a maker is knowing how to develop makeshift tools, you will never get stuck working on any project when you have that kind of versatility. So Today, I will be sharing how to build a Raspberry Pi based makeshift version of one of the most important tools in Electrical/Electronics engineering; The…

Hi guys, today I will be showing how to turn the Raspberry Pi into a wireless access point to which other devices can connect to, basically we are turning the raspberry pi into a wireless “router”. As a bonus, I will also be showing us how to setup the wireless access point created to provide (share) internet access to(with) connected devices. So let’s begin creating Wi-Fi…

Twitter like most other social media platforms is officially part of our everyday life, either for personal or business use, its become a great way to connect with the world, either by trolling or sharing important information. For business especially, there is always a great need to schedule tweets or automate things in one way or the other. What if there was a way to do that with little or…
