In this series of tutorials SteveQuinn show us how easy is to build a IoT Ethernet Device using ESP8266-01 WiFi module and how interface BMP085 barometric sensor, DS1307Z RTC, ILI9431 and log the data on a SD card. As mentioned, this Instructable is split into two parts. Part (A)...
Continue ReadingAVR vs PIC: The case of the candle
A self-igniting candle implemented using AVR and PIC microcontrollers. This project has two variations, one using an ATTiny25, the other using a PIC12LF1822. In a series of minimalistic devices, this electronic candle periodically measures ambient light levels. Once it detects...
