How to Upgrade Your ESP8266 SPI Flash to 4MB
https://www.electronics-lab.com/upgrade-esp8266-spi-flash-4mb-one/
ESP8266, the well known WiFi module contains an ESP8266EX SoC IC and an external SPI flash. This external SPI flash is used together with ESP8266EX to store user programs. The supported size of flash by ESP8266EX is up to 16MB but some of ESP8266 modules contain flash chips with low storage capacity like 512KB. In […]
ESPTool – A WiFi Security Tool
https://www.electronics-lab.com/esptool-wifi-security-tool/
Daniel Grießhaber over hackaday.io created a project called ESPTool. It is a tool to test WiFi networks security and to demonstrate how easy it is to crack a WiFi password or jam a WiFi network. Daniel designed ESPTool for education and self-test purpose. The Device has SSD1306 based OLED display, microSD card socket, 3 general […]
Wi-fi browser controlled servomotors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/wi-fi-browser-controlled-servomotors/
This instructable shows how to control some servomotors remotely in a wi-fi network, using an ordinary internet browser. This might be used in several applications: toys, robots, drones, camera pan/tilt, etc. The motors were attached to an Arduino Uno, which connects the wi-fi network through a ESP-8266 module. The control interface was designed with HTML […]
Your laundry is done!
https://www.electronics-lab.com/your-laundry-is-done/
Tinkerman @ tinkerman.cat tipped us with his latest project. It’s a laundry notification system that will message you when it’s finished. I often forget my wet clothing in the washer and after a day they really smell… so I thought about monitoring my washer and get a notification in my phone when the laundry is […]
Bridging ISM radio and wifi for lunch money
https://www.electronics-lab.com/bridging-ism-radio-wifi-lunch-money/
Johan discuss about ISM/Wifi bridge using RFM69, code and schematics is available on github. The ESP8266 has taken the maker community by storm and the hype is well deserved. Before the ESP we had the HopeRF ISM radio RFM12 and its successor RFM69. So is the ESP8266 an RFM69 killer? I would say no. Hell […]
ESP8266 temperature logger
https://www.electronics-lab.com/esp8266-temperature-logger/
A ESP8266 temperature logger project from Facelesstech: I decided to use the esp-01 module because I only need 2 GPIO pins since I was using the DS18B20 temp sensor and the WS2812 LED. This made the hardware really cheap and easy to reproduce too. I normally use FTDI boards when it comes to the USB to […]
Memory upgrade for ESP8266
https://www.electronics-lab.com/memory-add-esp8266/
Pete show us how to upgrade your ESP8266 with 32Mbit memory chip. Some time ago I passed comment in here about converting an ESP-01 to 32Mb (or 4MB). And here it is in the flesh – a 32Mb ESP-01 – and also – at last – Sonoff Upgrades. Now, why would you want to do […]
Arduino ESP8266 Tutorial: Send an email easily with your Wemos D1 board using a PHP script!
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-esp8266-tutorial-send-email-easily-wemos-d1-board-using-php-script/
educ8s.tv uploaded a new tutorial on their youtube channel. In this video we are going to learn how to send email using an ESP8266 based board like the Wemos D1. As you are going to find out it is very easy and it won’t take us more than 10 minutes. Having a WiFi enabled board, […]
Factory programming ESP8266 gadgets
https://www.electronics-lab.com/factory-programming-esp8266-gadgets/
Johan Kanflo’s Esprog pogo pin connector: The FTDI connector can be found on just about any ESP8266 design. If you are building a gadget to be deployed somewhere and not a full blown development board, the FTDI connector is somewhat overkill. And it is quite large. A few pins could be shaved off but we still […]
