Using OLED Displays with Arduino

Using OLED Displays with Arduino
OLED displays are bright, lightweight and visible under a wide range of lighting conditions. They are available with both I2C and SPI interfaces and in this article, I’ll show you how to hook up and use both types with an Arduino.

In addition, we will build an Arduino OLED Temperature and Humidity Meter using an OLED and an I2C temperature and humidity sensor.

Convert an ATX Computer Supply to a Bench Power Supply

Convert an ATX Power Supply to a Workbench Supply

A Bench Power Supply is an essential component for any serious electronics experimenter. But a good supply with multiple output voltages and a high current capability can set you back some serious cash

In this article we’ll look at an alternative – using an old computer ATX power supply as a high-performance workbench power supply.

It’s a simple project that can give you a highly capable piece of equipment for next to nothing

WiFi Stepper Motor Controller

WiFi Stepper Motor Controller

The WiFi Stepper is exactly what its name would imply – a board that lets you control a stepper motor via WiFi. Its full-featured web-based interface gives you complete control of your motor, and it can support steppers of all sizes up to 85 volts at 10 amps!

Today I’ll demonstrate how to use this versatile board. I’ll hook it up, learn how to use it and even run a simple Bash script on a Raspberry Pi to demonstrate how to incorporate it in your programs.

Experiments with the RCWL-0516 – Doppler Radar Distance Sensor

RCWL-0516 Microwave Proximity Sensor

The RCWL-0156 is an inexpensive yet useful proximity sensor that can be used on its own or with a microcontroller like an Arduino Uno.

The device is unique in that it uses microwaves and Doppler Radar to detect moving objects

In this article I will show you how the device works on its own and how we can add an Arduino (or two) to create some useful projects

Build a remote Surveillance Camera using motionEyeOS & Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi Remote Camera with motionEyeOS

motionEyeOS is an open-source product that can turn any Raspberry Pi into a sophisticated surveillance system. It’s very easy to use as the product is available as an image file for the Raspberry PI as well as several other single board computers.

In this article we will set up both a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and a Raspberry Pi Zero W with motionEyeOS. We will then learn how to use all of the features of this amazing product. If you are looking for an inexpensive yet advanced surveillance system this could be the answer!
