The project ESP8266 Temperature Logger using PIC16F887 is built up using a PIC16F887 microcontroller (MCU), ESP8266 WiFi module, and a ThingSpeak API. Previously, we posted Arduino and ESP8266-based webservers and this project is somehow similar. Introduction to ESP8266 Temperature Logger using PIC16F887 Here is a PIC16F887 microcontroller and ESP8266-based temperature logging system. The project; ‘ESP8266 Temperature Logger using PIC16F887 monitor’s the temperature of the vicinity simultaneously and provides details of the information collected. Well, the project also incorporates a modern concept; ThingSpeak which ensures safe storage and retrieval of data from…

Arduino and ESP8622 Based Web Server
A small, cheap, reliable device is making its way into technology. We call it the ESP8266 Wi-Fi module which has reached almost everywhere. However, the fact that its related information on datasheets and documents are provided in the Chinese language; Mandarin makes the implementation process complicated. As a solution, people have opted for the ESP8266 community forum which discusses issues users of this module tackle while programming this module. This small wifi-chip ESP8266 constitutes a built-in 32-bit low-power CPU. The chip itself can be employed as a stand-alone device or…
Read MoreArduino Gesture Controlled Robot
Recently we have been posting Robot projects. And, here comes another one; Robocar with gesture-controlled or you can say Arduino Gesture Controlled Robot. Like other projects, it also employs remote control. The project Arduino Gesture Controlled Robot is concerned with the design of a robotic car that can be moved in any direction just like a car does. Motion is recognized by the accelerometer and then it generates command signals to operate the robot as required using RF as a mediator. Likewise, the Robocar has inbuilt obstacle detectors and avoids…
Read MorePIC16F877A Based Dual Mode Robot
Previously we presented ‘Arduino Based RF-controlled Robot’. This project ‘PIC16F877A Based Dual Mode Robot’ includes slight modifications to that project. This Robot has inbuilt features to identify and avoid obstacles on its way and can be easily controlled with the help of RF-based remote control. The project can be used as a base to build up projects like automatic vacuum cleaners along with some modifications. The best part in that context is that artificial intelligence cleans the floor on its own and we can guide the robot to clean areas…
Read MoreAutomobile Brake Failure Indicator
Almost 40% of accidents occur because of brake failure issues. With early identification of this condition, we can reduce the accident rate. The project ‘Automobile Brake Failure Indicator’ is the solution to this global issue. You might be wondering how this project is responsible to lower the accident rate. Well, this indicator circuit keeps an eye on the condition of the brake at regular intervals and provides an audio-visual indication of the situation. The project includes two LEDs and a piezo buzzer as indicators. Under normal circumstances when the brake…
Read MoreArduino Based Music Player
The project posted here is of simple music player system based on Arduino uno board and SD card module. As we all know that Arduino can deal with digital signals or square signals only if we wish to work with sine waves we have to use further processing circuits. Previously we had posted Tune Player using Arduino for demonstration of using PWM pin of Arduino. The audio signal is sine wave thus we have used PWM pin and OP-amp for audio output. In order to generate a pure audio signal…
Read MoreArduino and RF Controlled Robot
Arduino and RF Controlled Robot ‘ROBOT’, as you know were introduced much earlier in the fifties. People could not afford those massive devices because of the cost they were tagged with. But now, to make it available to common people as well, our team developed a robot that is based on a simple platform like Arduino. Due to the fact that it uses RF remote control, using this robot is much easier. The omnidirectional robot works smoothly within a range of up to 100 meters. Adding more to its benefit,…
Read MoreArduino Based Data Logger (Temperature)
The project described here is a simple Arduino Based Data Logger which can be used at any place where data is needed to be stored for further processing and monitoring. The project posted here basically store temperature, humidity with date and time in regular intervals on an SD card or a computer, or both. The wide range of operations and data rate of 12 samples per minute make this circuit more versatile and attractive at the same time. The data logging can be adjusted as per desire by changing the…
Read MoreFingerprint Attendance System using Arduino
The project posted here is a simple Fingerprint Attendance System using Arduino and can be very useful for any place where attendance is taken for maintaining registers like offices, schools, etc. Previously, we had posted RFID based attendance system, Arduino Fingerprint Sensor Lock, etc. The project posted here utilizes a thumb impression for taking attendance. The Fingerprint Attendance System using Arduino is based on a simple algorithm called matching algorithm and is compared with previously stored templates of fingerprints against the user’s fingerprint for authentication. Maintaining a register for attendance is…
Read MoreUltrasonic Water Level Meter
Wireless Ultrasonic Water Level Meter using ATmega328 Water level indicator is one of the most popular projects over the internet but the problem with that is, it uses metal electrodes as a result corrosion is occurring. When we pass DC in water it starts to react with the metal in presence of oxygen and corrosion is occurring. This problem is minimized by using alternating current instead of direct current but there is always the risk of electric shock which can be dangerous if is handled by a non-technical person. By…
