Projects made with the ESP8266 board
Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way we interact with the world around us. MQTT communication protocol between different devices will be illustrated in this article through the creation of a project using ESP8266 and a Raspberry Pi used to monitor environmental temperature and humidity.You will learn how to build a temperature […]
Introduction The air we breathe is a vital resource, but we often take its quality for granted. Gas sensor air monitoring has become a global priority with increasing concerns about air pollution and environmental safety. The control and management of these gases, both in industrial and domestic environments, has become fundamental to ensuring human health
Introduction In the age of Internet of Things (IoT) and embedded technology, solar power for Arduino and other types of devices (such as, for example, ESP8266 and ESP32) have become a top priority to ensure continuous operation. Projects distributed in remote locations, far from the electricity grid, require a sustainable and reliable energy source. This

Introduction Welcome to the article dedicated to the creation of an interactive circuit that exploits the potential of Arduino Cloud and the ESP8266, a microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi module, to remotely control two LEDs. This project will walk you step-by-step through creating a system where one LED turns ON or OFF based on the Boolean
Introduction Arduino Cloud is a web platform that serves to connect with devices such as Arduino, NodeMCU and so on in order to collect the data sent by them and display it on a dashboard. It also allows you to control these devices by specific commands on the dashboard. It also has the possibility of
