ESP8266 microcontroller (NodeMCU, Wemos D1 Mini, etc.) Arduino IDE with ESP8266 board support USB cable for programming Two devices with web browsers (phones, tablets, or computers) Connect your ...

Nevertheless, this is a fun comparison, and we like when hackers do microcontroller standoffs like that – for instance, check out this review from 2017 which pits a dozen microcontrollers of the ...

Slide Controller is a lightweight, wireless presentation control system that uses an ESP8266 to host a web interface. This interface sends UDP commands to a Python script on your computer, which ...

Similarly, in the world of electronics we can always reach for a microcontroller but this project from [Peter] has the constraint of only using passive components, and it is all the better for it.

It recognizes faces and objects using a camera. Basic movement is handled by the inexpensive ESP8266 microcontroller, but more complex functions like speech and vision are transferred over Wi-Fi ...

A combination of an old hoverboard, a go-kart tire, and some clever engineering apparently gets you a functional one-wheel electric ride that rides like a snowboard both on and off the road. A DIY ...

The smart feature of the dustbin is powered by an ultrasonic sensor and a small servo motor, controlled by an Arduino Nano microcontroller. To keep everything organized, the maker created a custom PCB ...

The paper proposes a prototype of a hardware and software system based on ESP8266 microcontrollers, using the painlessMesh library to transmit images between end nodes. Tests were carried out to ...
