Have an Internet of Things project idea that needs text capabilities? Let me show you have easy it is to teach your Particle Photon how to text. In fact it’s so easy it only takes a few minutes. [Read more…] about Teach the Particle Photon to Text In 5 Minutes
State machine with Arduino
Many systems can be described with state diagram. Therefore they can be implemented with so called State machine code with system delay. System delay can be used in other project too, but I will show you how it works on automation processes example, which State machine is. [Read more…] about State machine with Arduino
Software PWM for controlling LEDs
LED’s brightness can be controlled with Pulse Width Modulation or PWM. Arduino only have so many PWM ports. Did you ever wonder how to control the LED on any Arduino Pin? Here is how you can make it. [Read more…] about Software PWM for controlling LEDs
Creating A Simple Relay Board Using Eagle
Here we just do a really simple relay board with two terminal blocks and an omron relay. Below you will see the schematic. I chose the components from the Eagle library which can be accessed from the add component button in the left hand tool bar. [Read more…] about Creating A Simple Relay Board Using Eagle
LDR light sensor tutorial
Recently I received a question from a good friend of mine. He wanted to automate blinds on his office window and he wondered how he can measure or detect light. I told him that the simplest solution would be using LDR resistor. [Read more…] about LDR light sensor tutorial
Attendance Logger
I made this project long time ago. It was build as proof of concept while working for local tech company. Since then I have used it to track my working hours on my personal projects. Here is how you can make one. [Read more…] about Attendance Logger
