In this instructable we’re going to build and program an awesome fortune cookie teller, using the Particle Photon connected to thethings.iO via mqtt and to Twitter via api requests. Desired functionality: – Each time the button (connected to the Photon) is pressed, this will publish a message to thethings.iO via mqtt – From thethings.iO, a trigger is

In this instructible, I will guide you through the use of the WF32 as an HTTP server that hosts a website that can be used to control servos and a stepper motor. The purpose of this was to create an iPad mount that allowed users to log in from a remote location and point the

Today I am going to show you how to make a pulse counter quickly with littlebits modules. This is a very fun and easy project to do and you can, for example, count the times a door opens, as was the case with our makerspace that we made a counter of these to count the

In this instructable I want to show you how to control a servo using a microcontroller (18F2550) and how to avoid using an unknown library to control a servo. Step 1: Materials Power supply Breadboard Wires or jumpers Resistors Transistor or optocoupler Microchip microcontroller PICC Compiler(It could be another one, but I’m going to use

A MIDI synt controller box is a box that’s main purpose is to play sounds on another device like a computer or synth module. The box itself doesn’t generate any noise on its own at all, if they do it’s very limited. MIDI controllers range from little tiny things that are pretty cheap to make

I know STMicroelectronics Nucleo platform for IoT. Recently W5500 Ethernet shield will be announced by WIZnet. So I implemented a firmware of Nucleo board by Ethernet SW modification because I can handle a source code easily. You can know the status of equipment even if it is so far. Please refer to the following step.

We will be changing how we use the Stone LCD with the STM32 series cards that we used to use with the Arduino. However, we will be using the STM32CubeMx and I have tried to provide the editor with detailed space in writing for use with the Arduino, so I will not be detailing this

Device communication is done in two ways: parallel and serial. In the parallel mode, data transfer is fast and uses more number of lines. This mode is good for short range data transfer. But, Serial communication uses only one or two data lines to transfer data and is generally used for long distance communication. In
