The Arduino category lists all articles that deal with the construction, operation and programming of Arduino microcontrollers.
ESPEasy can read out a large number of different sensors and / or control actuators (see also ESPEasy – Sensors & Actuators). With the help of the “Rules” it is […]
Read moreI recently built an extraction system for my soldering station and the chamber of my 3D printer. The built extraction system has two connections. One of them sucks the air […]
Read moreThe 3D printed housing of the “pxlDigits” was initially not intended to be “just” a 7-segment display with WiFi. Originally I used it to build a kind of timer from […]
Read moreFor another project I urgently needed a relatively large number to indicate a duration. From this this small “sub-project” emerged. Because with the 3D printed frame described here and a […]
Read moreThere are some situations in which connecting an LDR to an ESP makes sense. In this way, the brightness in a room can be measured relatively easily and for little […]
Read moreThe idea for the pxlBlck_Pot is heavily inspired by a design that Lukas (@i_am_lukas) had created. He agreed that I can use his basic design. Thanks again for that. 🙂 […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck_SlotClock consists of a 1×60 LED matrix. It can display the time in the same way as an analog clock. The colors of the individual hands can be adjusted. […]
Read moreI started developing the pxlBlcks because I was looking for a way to stay informed about events in the SmartHome. There are now two options integrated into the pxlBlck plug-in. […]
Read moreThe adjustable dials differ from the type of LED matrix used. Unfortunately, this is the case because different LED-matrix sizes allow or do not allow different dials and screensavers. In […]
Read moreThanks to WiFi and thus (often) an internet connection, an ESP8266 or ESP32 programmed with ESPEasy also has the option to retrieve the actual time. In order for this to […]
Read moreI2C is the bus protocol or technology via which a microcontroller can communicate with many sensors or actuators. Thanks to the right software, you can also connect and communicate with […]
Read moreThe actual flashing of firmware files such as .bin files or “binarys” on the Wemos D1 Mini, the NodeMcu dev board or any other board that is based on the […]
Read moreIn the articles Build a retro-smart home display via analog displays and ESPEasy – Install and configure the Nerdy PanelMeter plugin was described what you need to do to build […]
Read moreIn the article NodeRed/Tasmota – Building a WhatsApp(*) Icon Lamp explains how to build your own WhatsApp (*) lamp. The goal is to link these later with your SmartHome and, […]
Read moreThe article NodeRed/Tasmota – Building an Instagram (*) icon lamp explains how to build your own Instagram (*) lamp. The goal is to link these later with your SmartHome and, […]
Read moreOne thing that makes ESPEasy so practical and universal is the ability to read and control various sensors and actuators via commands. Especially in combination with appropriate rules, this results […]
Read moreEach project consists not only of many important hardware components but also of the appropriate software. It is often less work to assemble the project than to write the appropriate […]
Read moreThe great thing about the concept behind the Arduinos is that in many cases you can benefit from the work of others. It does not matter which sensor you read […]
Read moreEspecially in the open source world you will sooner or later stumble on GitHub, GitLab or similar online-services with “Git” in the name – in search of program code. Behind […]
Read moreIn recent years, the ESP8266 has become more and more the universal microcontroller that can be used in almost any project. A microcontroller for ~2€ including Wi-Fi and with lots […]
Read moreBesides the hardware, the right software for your project is just as important. A practical and universally applicable firmware for the “forest-and-meadow microcontroller” ESP8266 is the Tasmota firmware. This allows […]
Read moreThe other day I found an old control panel with old analogue displays when mucking out the cellar. It came to me the idea that somehow it must be possible […]
Read moreThe other day, I found the mason jar pictured below on the shelves of a large Swedish furniture company. Mason jars are not an invention from Sweden. I would almost […]
Read moreThe Sonoff 433Mhz RF Bridge is a cheap and easy way to drive devices that communicate with each other over the 433Mhz radio frequency. In principle, as the name suggests, […]
Read moreVia the service of OpenWeatherMap.org You can get free weather data. To be able to access this service in an automated way – for example from NodeRed or from an […]
Read moreNormally every Arduino board is programmed via the serial interface. But not only the program code can be transferred to the Arduino. You can also send control commands to or […]
Read moreIn order to make the series of spoon-articles a little more complete, I would like to explain briefly in this article how to proceed with the installation of programs and […]
Read moreThe ArdunioIDE is very simple compared to other development environments. There are not many things you can turn on or off. This has the advantage that beginners are not overwhelmed […]
Read moreIn the articles FibonacciClock – An Unusual Time Indicator, FibonacciClock – Assembly and FibonacciClock – Programming is described how to build your own Fibonacci Clock. Just in case you want […]
Read moreIn the article FibonacciClock – An unusual time indicator I presented the cool idea of Philippe Chrétien. As mentioned in the post, I think the idea is cool and then […]
