In this blog, I’ll show you how to add a battery and charger to any microcontroller based project based on an Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, or any other microcontroller. This in a correct, safe, easy and cheap way. This project is not just about building it, but also highlighting a few things, very important for makers […]

Many have been eagerly awaiting the ESP32-C3 from Espressif. It has only one computing core instead of the usual two processor cores in other ESP32 controllers. But this core works with the free, open RISC-V instruction set architecture that competes with the ARM-based controllers widely used for IoT applications. I recently put the ESP32C3 through

If you’ve worked on electronic projects in the past, you’ve probably heard of breadboards before, and maybe even used them. But what does ‘breadboard’ mean? Breadboards can be a little confusing at first if you don’t understand the logic behind them – which is exactly why we came up with this blog to get you
In this blog we look at the BME680 Integrated Environmental Sensor with Arduino Nano microcontroller. The BME680 is a gas sensor that measures relative humidity, barometric pressure, ambient temperature, gas (VOC Volatile Organic Compound) and IAQ (Indoor Air Quality). Because the pressure varies with altitude, The sensor can be used to measure estimated altitude. Using

ESP32-C3 is a single-core Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) microcontroller SoC, based on the open-source RISC-V architecture. It strikes the right balance of power, I/O capabilities and security, thus offering the optimal cost-effective solution for connected devices. The availability of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) connectivity not only makes the device’s configuration easy, but it
