Ruben Marc Speybrouck show us how to control a device using your tablet or smartphone. To achieve that he used arduino, blynk and a wemos / ESP8266 board. In this tutorial we will be making something I call a wifi controlled ac switch. (But iy also works for DC applications that are...

This Half-bridge driver based on IR2104 gate driver IC and N channel Dpak MOSFET , The IR2104 is a high voltage, high speed power MOSFET driver with independent high and low side referenced output channels. HVIC and latch immune CMOS technologies enable ruggedized monolithic...

Current Sensing Switch is designed to operate a Relay Contact when there is a DC current through the sense resistor exceeds the set point, Set point adjustable from 1A to 3Amp using on board potentiometer. This circuit can offer over current protection to your...

Here is a nice tutorial on how to build your own reflow soldering oven using ControLeo2 reflow oven controller. This particular instructable is based on the ControLeo2 reflow oven controller by Peter Easton. This is by far the best I've come across and the software is fully open...

Ray Wang has published a new project called OpenGarage, an open-source garage door opener based on ESP8266 and the Blynk app: Today I am very excited to introduce you to OpenGarage — an open-source, universal garage door opener built using the ESP8266 WiFi chip and the Blynk app....

Z-wave Alliance contest winner and Texas-based HAB Home Intelligence has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.com to bring iBlinds, a DIY home automation kit, to the market.  The product will allow customers to make their existing window blinds “smart” and to control...

asheville makers @ instructables.com has posted a Wifi enabled thermostat that can be programmed via a touch screen display or via the internet. This Instructable explains about how I built WiFi enabled thermostats for my home. The thermostats are programmable with 6 different time...

This simple circuit designed around Solid State Relay S216S02 from SHARP. The S216S02 solid State Relay (SSR) is an integration of an infrared emitting diode (IRED), a Phototraic Detector and a main output Traic. These devices are ideally suited for controlling high voltage AC loads...
