Are you a new architect or aspiring to become an architect? If the answer is "yes," you will need to have the best programs to make a mark in this industry. Well, the two most important categories of software in architecture are building information modeling (BIM) and computer-aided design (CAD). Which one should you use? Keep treading as we dig deeper into each category and highlight key examples for you to consider.
What is CAD?
CAD, shortening for computer-aided design, is the use of computers to help create, modify, and optimize building design. CAD programs are developed to help people design and document their models using advanced computer technology. CAD files are particularly useful where multiple parts are required to fit precisely in a ...
Hello Friends! I hope you all are doing great welcoming 2022. With the start of the New Year, we would like to bring to you a new tutorial series. This tutorial series is on a programming language, plotting software, a data processing tool, a simulation software, a very advanced calculator and much more, all wrapped into one package called MATLAB.
We would welcome all the scientists, engineers, hobbyists and students to this tutorial series. MATLAB is a great tool used by scientists and engineers for scientific computing and numerical simulations all over the world. It is also an academic software used by PhDs, Masters students and even advanced researchers.
MATLAB (or "MATrix LABoratory") is a programming language and numerical computing environm ...
Greetings and welcome to today’s lecture. Today, we are going to focus our discussion on the Surface Mount Technology of PCB components mounting. It's our 8th tutorial in the PCB learning series and is going to be a very interesting and interactive class. In Surface-mount technology, SMT components(having small pads) are
placed on the surface of the PCB board and their pads are soldered on
the same side of the board.
As we discussed in our last lecture on Though-Hole Technology, there are two main methods used to mount components on PCB boards. We studied THT in the last lecture and today, we will focus on
Surface Mount Technology (SMT), we will discuss SMT classifications, types, applications, advantages and disadvantages in detail.

The Internet of Things ( or IoT) is a network of interconnected computing devices such as digital machines, automobiles with built-in sensors, or humans with unique identifiers and the ability to communicate data over a network without human intervention.
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn how to send sensor readings from ESP32 to the ThingSpeak cloud. Here we will use the ESP32’s internal sensor like hall-effect sensor and temperature sensor to observe the data and then will share that data cloud.
What is ThingSpeak?
Fig. 1: ESP32 ThingSpeak
It is an open data platform for IoT (Internet of Things). ThingSpeak is a web service operated by MathWorks where we can send sensor readings/data to the cloud. We ...
We all have heard of this term by now. IoT or the Internet of Things is an ingenious yet innovative technology that is the support system for uncountable apps in almost all sectors.
With the ever-increasing demand for higher technology, there has been a rapid growth in the field of IoT. You would require a professional IoT app development company for implementing the correct connected technology solution for your business.
As we are moving towards and becoming the tech generation, it's exciting to know how IoT Application Development has a huge Market Potential - wondering how it is possible? Let us tell you more.
Do You Know?
Let us tell you a fun fact. Worldwide there are about 9 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices connected in 2020, which ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn about the ESP-NOW protocol and how to communicate data between two ESP modules through ESP-NOW protocol and that is too without Wi-Fi connectivity.
What is ESP-NOW Protocol?
Fig. 1: ESP-NOW Protocol
ESP–NOW is a connectionless communication protocol that is used for sharing small data packets between two ESP boards. This protocol is developed by Espressif.
Features of ESP-NOW Protocol:
It is a low-power wireless protocol, which makes two or more ESP devices communicate directly with each other without using Wi-Fi.
ESP-NOW protocol does not require a handshake for establishing a connection but, they require pairing and once the devices are paired they can exchang ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Welcome to the 3rd lecture of Section 5(ESP32 Sensors) in the ESP32 Programming Series. We have already discussed the two built-in ESP32 sensors i.e. Hall Effect Sensor and Capacitive Touch Sensor. Today, we are going to discuss the 3rd and final built-in ESP32 sensor i.e. Internal Temperature Sensor.
ESP32 Internal Temperature Sensor is used to calculate the temperature of the ESP32 core. So, we can't use it to measure the ambient temperature (the temperature of the atmosphere), for that, we need to use embedded temperature sensors i.e. DS18B20, DHT11, BMP280 etc. We will first discuss the basics of this Internal Temperature Sensor and then will design a code to monitor the change in temperature by changing the frequency of the ESP32 CPU.

Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we learned SMTP server and how to implement an SMTP server for sending emails with ESP32. In the previous tutorial, we also demonstrated some examples like sharing raw text, HTML text, images and text files.
So, at the transmitter end, we are using the SMTP server.
But, what about the receiver end?
At the receiver end, we use another protocol called IMAP (or Internet Message Access Protocol) and POP3 (Post office Protocol V3) for receiving the emails.
Fig. IMAP and SMTP
What is IMAP Protocol and How does it Work?
IMAP is an application layer (TCP/IP) protocol that is used at the receiver end to receive emails from SMTP server or mail server. IMAP follows the client/server mo ...
The transportation and logistics industry suffered from the impact of the pandemic. The disruptions in supply chains caused massive losses in businesses. Its spillovers extended to those relying on freight and delivery. But as the restrictions started to ease, its recovery followed instantly.
In 2021, supply chains benefited from the boom in e-commerce as online buyers reached 2.14 billion. Given the massive influx of customers, businesses had to scale up their operations. The challenge now is to improve efficiency and ensure the delivery of goods and services. It has become more challenging for companies to monitor every movement, especially logistics.
Fortunately, service dispatch software can make things easier and safer. Tracking vehicles and ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In this tutorial, we will learn how to send an email using ESP32 module. We will also learn to send text files, images or some sensor readings using the SMTP server using the ESP32 module.
In IoT (Internet of things), there are various applications where we need to send emails carrying information like sending some sensor readings, altering emails, images, text files and much more.
What is SMTP?
SMTP or simple mail transfer protocol is an internet standard for sending and receiving electronic mail (or email) where an SMTP server receives emails from the email client.
SMTP is also used for setting communication between servers.
Various email providers like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. have unique SMTP ...
