Network Clock using ESP8266 and OLED display
https://www.electronics-lab.com/network-clock-using-esp8266-oled-display/
There are several situations where using an RTC could adversely affect your project by increasing cost, size, time accuracy or IO requirements. To prevent this, especially in ESP/WiFi-based or other clock-reliant projects, makers usually turn to obtain time information from NTP servers. I recently came across a project by BitsandBlobs which used standalone NTP Servers […]

The International Space Station (ISS) is one of greatest feat of engineering achievements by mankind. It is a space station (habitable artificial satellite) in low Earth orbit. The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology, and other fields. The […]
9 Tiny Microcontroller Board Options to Complement Your Arduino Uno
https://www.electronics-lab.com/9-tiny-microcontroller-board-options-complement-arduino-uno/
The venerable Arduino Uno is the de facto standard in microcontroller development boards, but there are also other boards that can be hidden in a project to make it “smart.” Some even provide extra features like built-in Bluetooth or WiFi capabilities. While the Uno will certainly be used for years to come, due to its […]

educ8s.tv has a new video discussing about the Wemos D1 mini board. In this video we are going to take a first look at the Wemos D1 mini board. The new impressive ESP8266 based board. It is very small in size, very inexpensive but very powerful! If you have watched some of my previous videos […]
Piggybacking OLED display on WeMos D1 Mini
https://www.electronics-lab.com/piggybacking-oled-display-wemos-d1-mini/
Daniel Eichhorn build a mini OLED display weather widget using WeMos D1 Mini board. Inspired by Mike Rankin’s (@mikerankin) beautiful crossovers between an ESP8266 ESP-01 and an 0.96 Inch OLED I2C display I decided to try if there wasn’t an easy hack to marry the two components with as little soldering as possible. After turning, […]
