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.
  • Connecting wires(male to male)
  • Breadboard
  • Relay Module

Follow the Image below for circuit connection reference:-
(Interfacing all components)
N.B-(In this circuit connection we have to supply 5volts as the input voltage.)

After making the circuit dump the code given below:-
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include "fauxmoESP.h"
/* Network credentials */
#define WIFI_SSID "Enter your Wifi Name"
#define WIFI_PASS "Enter Password"
/* Belkin WeMo emulation */
fauxmoESP fauxmo;
/* Set Relay Pins */
#define RELAY_1 D0
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
//setup and wifi connection
wifiSetup();
//Set relay pins to outputs
pinMode(RELAY_1, OUTPUT);
//Set each relay pin to HIGH ====== NOTE THAT THE RELAYS USE INVERSE LOGIC =====
digitalWrite(RELAY_1, LOW);
delay(500);
// Device Names for Simulated Wemo switches
fauxmo.addDevice("Karkhana Motor");
fauxmo.onMessage(callback);
}

void loop()
{
fauxmo.handle();
}

/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device Callback
----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
void callback(uint8_t device_id, const char * device_name, bool state)
{
Serial.print("Device "); Serial.print(device_name);
Serial.print(" state: ");
if (state)
{
Serial.println("ON");
}
else
{
Serial.println("OFF");
}
//Switching action on detection of device name
if ( (strcmp(device_name, "Karkhana Motor") == 0) )
{
if (!state)
{
digitalWrite(RELAY_1, LOW);
}
else
{
digitalWrite(RELAY_1, HIGH);
}
}
}
/* -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wifi Setup
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
void wifiSetup()
{
// Set WIFI module to STA mode
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
// Connect
Serial.println ();
Serial.printf("[WIFI] Connecting to %s ", WIFI_SSID);
Serial.println();
WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASS);
// Wait
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
{
Serial.print(".");
delay(100);
}
Serial.print(" ==> CONNECTED!" );
Serial.println();
// Connected!
Serial.printf("[WIFI] STATION Mode, SSID: %s, IP address: %s\n", WiFi.SSID().c_str(), WiFi.localIP().toString().c_str());
Serial.println();
}

After dumping the code the output is shown on the video below:-

LED Brightness Control using Touch Sensor and ARM

Hey Folks, In this tutorial, we will learn, how to change  the intensity of light using touch sensor the ARM (FRDM-KL25Z). INTRODUCTION The FRDM-KL25Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform for Kinetis L Series KL1x (KL14/15) and KL2x (KL24/25) MCUs built on ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor.  The FRDM-KL25Z has been designed by NXP in collaboration with mbed for prototyping all sorts of devices, especially those requiring the size and price point offered by Cortex-M0+ and the power of USB Host and Device. 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) ...

Webcam Interfacing with Raspberry Pi

This tutorial is about the clicking photos and recording videos using "Logitech Webcam C110 with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B" Component Required: Rasberry Pi 3 Model B  Logitech Webcam C110  Adapter Charger micro USB-b Type 5v,2Amp  Connection Diagram: Step 1: Create a new folder First, we create a new folder just to store your photo and videos separately. Open the terminal. Command for creating new folder is "mkdir folder name" Step 2: Check everything is up-to-date To update your Raspberry Pi command is " sudo apt-get update ". And to upgrade your Raspberry Pi command is " sudo apt-get upgrade". Step 3: Check SSH and Camera enabled To make sure SSH and Camera enabled. Follow these two-steps. By this command, you can configure your SSH and Camera " sudo raspi-config ". Enable SSH. Enable Camera. Step 4: Check connection of Camera Make sure the camera is connected.
