Previously, we built a Prayer Times Display using Raspberry Pi, which was a powerful and flexible solution. The Raspberry Pi allowed advanced customization and a larger display interface. However, one major downside of the Raspberry Pi project was the cost. So let’s build a dedicated Smart Prayer Times Display using the ESP32 and a 16×2
📩 Introduction In our hyper-connected world, we often find ourselves constantly refreshing our inboxes, waiting for that one important email. But what if you could glance at a small screen on your desk instead of unlocking your phone? In this project, we will build a Smart IoT Email Notifier using the powerful ESP32 microcontroller. The device will
The ESP32-CAM is one of the most exciting and affordable microcontrollers in the IoT and embedded vision world. For under $10, this tiny board packs: However, because it lacks a built-in USB port, getting started can be a bit tricky for beginners. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from the
🚀 Introduction Have you ever wanted your ESP32 to send you an email when motion is detected, temperature exceeds a threshold, or when your IoT device needs attention? So, sending emails directly from microcontrollers opens up a world of possibilities for remote monitoring and alert systems. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll walk you through the
🔥 PlatformIO, combined with Visual Studio Code (VS Code), is one of the most powerful and professional ways to program microcontrollers such as ESP32, ESP8266, Arduino, STM32, RP2040, and many others. This step-by-step guide is written for beginners, but it also includes best practices used by professionals. By the end, you’ll be able to create,
Ever wanted to keep an eye on your home’s temperature and humidity while you’re away? So, let’s build a custom, affordable IoT monitoring device using an ESP32 microcontroller and a DHT sensor that sends temperature and humidity 🌡️ data to ThingSpeak (a popular IoT analytics platform). You’ll be able to view real-time graphs and receive
