Servo Motor Control using ESP8266 and Blynk App

Hey folks,  In this tutorial we will learn how to interface Servo motor with NodeMcu(ESP8266)module and operate it with the Blynk app.  Servos  are controlled by sending an electrical pulse of variable width, or pulse width modulation (PWM), through the control wire. There is a minimum pulse, a maximum pulse, and a repetition rate. A  servo motor  can usually only turn 90° in either direction for a total of 180° movement. servo Motor (Back view)  Servo Motor (front view) Blynk  is a Platform with iOS and Android  apps  to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet. It's a digital dashboard where you can build a graphic interface for your project by simply dragging and dropping widgets.

The FRDM-KL25Z is supported by a range of NXP and third-party development software. It is packaged as a development board with connectors to break out to stripboard and breadboard and includes a built-in USB FLASH programmer.               FEATURES NXP KL25Z Kinetis KL2x MCU (MKL25Z128VLK4) High-performance ARM® Cortex™-M0+ Core 48MHz, 16KB RAM, 128KB FLASH USB (Host/Device) SPI (2) I2C (2) UART (3) PWM (TPM) ...

Alexa Based Motor Controlling

In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface DC Motor with NodeMcu by using Relay Module controlling with Alexa echo. with voice API. A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. SmallDC motors are used in tools, toys, and appliances. DC Motor (Overview)  There are 4 main types of DC motors: Permanent Magnet DC Motors. The permanent magnet motor uses a permanent magnet to create field flux. Series DC Motors. In a series DC motor, the field is wound with a few turns of a large wire carrying the full armature current. Shunt DC Motors. Compound DC Motors. So now we are familiar with the motor let us interface it. Components Required: DC motor NodeMcu(ESP8266) Alexa echo.

IoT Based LPG Gas Monitoring

MQ-5 Module(Overview ) In this tutorial, will learn, how to interface MQ-5 Module with Node Mcu(ESP8266). The Grove - Gas Sensor(MQ5) module is useful for gas leakage detection (in home and industry). It is suitable for detecting H2, LPG, CH4, CO, Alcohol. Due to its high sensitivity and fast response time, measurements can be taken as soon as possible. The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by using the potentiometer. MQ-5 Module(backside) Components Required NodeMcu(ESP8266)  MQ-5 LPG SENSOR Module  Few male to female connecting wires  Breadboard  Follow the image below for circuit connection reference:- In this circuit, we have connected the A0 pin of the MQ-5 to the A0 pin of the NodeMcu module and D0 pin remain disconnected.

Interfacing of Push Button With ATmega16

In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface a switch(push button) with ATMEGA16 using AVR studio. In the previous video, we learnt how to interface LEDs with ATMEGA16 using AVR studio. The push-button is a component that connects two points in a circuit when you press it. The example turns on an LED when you press the button. Here we have connected two push button to PORT C in  PC0 & PC1. And for LEDs connection please refer my previous blog. Components Required:- AVR Controller(Atmega16) LEDs Push Button Connecting Wires USBASP Programmer Dump the following code after connection  and select chip ATMEGA 16. #include<avr/io.h> #include<util/delay.h> void main()  {    DDRB=0b11111111;    int S1;    int S2;      while(1)    {     S1=PINC&0b00000001;     S2=PINC&0b00000010;     if(S1==0b00000001)     { ...

16x2 LCD Interfacing with Arduino

In this tutorial, we will learn, how to interface an LCD (liquid crystal display) with ARDUINO.  An LCD screen is an electronic display module having a flat panel display or we can say it’s an electronically modulated optical device that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals. We will interface a 16x2(16 columns and 2 rows) LCD. Other variations are also available like 8x1,10x2 etc. It is having a wide range of applications; they are also preferred over the 7-segment display as they are cheap, easily programmable and also have the leverage to display special characters. Now let us interface Components Required 16x2 LCD                   1No. Resistor 560ohms        1No. Potentiometer 10k      1No. Arduino UNO               1No. Few connecting wires Breadboard Follow the image below for circuit connection refe...
