Hello geeks, welcome to our new project. In this project, we are going to make a very useful and interesting electronics tool that we as engineers or tinkers need in everyday life. We use the capacitor in most of our projects for various purposes such as filters or power supplies. Most of the time, we do not have a provision to measure the capacitor value in our digital multimeter. So, this time we came up with the solution. Hence, we will make our own capacitance measurement tool using Arduino. Rather than investing in new electronic equipment, we will use an Arduino board and some basic components to measure the capacitance. To make this project, we should have some working knowledge about the capacitor. Here, we will not discuss the in-depth working of capacitors, but we will talk brief ...
We are familiar with multiple features of the ESP32 module. Like Wi-Fi capabilities, classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), inbuilt sensors etc. Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. We have already mentioned in our previous tutorials that, ESP32 is also featured with a Dual-Core Processor. Which provides better performance and efficiency. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use ESP32’s dual cores. ESP32 has two (32-bit each) Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessors namely, core0 and core1 which makes it a powerful dual-core microcontroller and hence stands apart from its predecessors. When we compile and upload a code using Arduino IDE, we do not have to worry about which core executes the code. It just runs. Fig. 1 ESP32 dual-core processor Features of Dual-Core processor ...
Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous tutorial, we learnt how to make HTTP POST from ESP32 to the IFTTT server. In this tutorial, we will learn about another application of the ESP32 module in the field of IoT (Internet of Things). We can publish multiple sensor readings from ESP32 to Google sheets via the IFTTT web service. IFTTT is used as a third-party web service to integrate Google sheets with ESP32. Fig. 1 Creating an IFTTT Account for Integrating ESP32 with Google Sheets We are going to create an applet (on the IFTTT server) that is responsible to integrate the Webhooks and Google Sheets services. While operating with the IFTTT server there are some services/utilities that we are going to deal with like Applets and Webhooks. Before getting started with the p ...
Industrial workplace health and safety are essential for avoiding work-related accidents, injuries, and fatalities. In fact, as many as 13,455,000 workers across manufacturing industries in the US are at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries, the CDC reveals. Not only does improving workplace health and safety protect workers, but it also prevents lost work days and lost revenue . The National Safety Council found work injuries cost businesses a total of $161.5 billion annually, equating to $1,100 per worker. Improve employee training New workers are three times more likely to sustain an injury in their first month than workers with a year's experience on the job. By improving employee training and tailoring programs to the demands of each individual role, you can better minimize the risk o ...
ESP32 is a powerful chip for Internet of Things applications. This tutorial is also based on another ESP32 application in the field of IoT. Hello readers, I hope you all are doing great. In the previous tutorial, we learned how to send sensor readings from ESP32 to the cloud (ThingSpeak webserver). In this tutorial, we will learn to send HTTP POST requests from the ESP32 board to ThingSpeak and IFTTT APIs. What is HTTP? Fig. 1 Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP stands for hypertext transfer control and it is a protocol for transferring data between a web client and a web server. Hyper text transfer protocol was invented alongside HTML (Hypertext markup language) to create the first interactive, text-based web browser: the original www or World Wide Web. Server and client communication proces ...
Hyperconverged infrastructure becomes the go-to option for enterprise-level companies and startups looking to scale fast. While server virtualization is a mature technology, HCI continues to be one of the hottest trends in the IT industry right now. HCI offers businesses improved reliability, reduced deployment time, lower maintenance costs, and easy scalability. If you are thinking about purchasing a hyperconverged infrastructure solution, take a look at what your competition is doing. If other companies in your market are adopting HCI, maybe it's time you should, too. Let's take a look at the current state of the industry and the global HCI market growth. The State of the Industry HCI is a great way to reduce operating costs and simplify IT by using a single virtual environment to combin ...
Hello friends! I hope you all had a great start to the new year. In our first lecture , we had looked at the MATLAB prompt and also learned how to enter a few basic commands that use math operations. This also allowed us to use the MATLAB prompt as an advanced calculator. Today we will look at the various MATLAB keywords, and a few more basic commands and MATLAB functions, that will help us keep the prompt window organized and help in mathematical calculations. We are also going to get familiar with MATLAB’s interface and the various windows. We will also write our first user-defined MATLAB functions. MATLAB keywords and functions Like any programming language, MATLAB has its own set of keywords that are the basic building blocks of MATLAB. These 20 building blocks can be called by simply ...
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 larger assembly. Architects using CAD can e ...
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 environment built by Mathworks and it’s first versi ...
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. In the beginning, a breadboard was used to hold the co ...
