Building a low cost wifi camera
https://www.electronics-lab.com/building-a-low-cost-wifi-camera/
Johan @ johan.kanflo.com build his own Wifi webcam combining an Arducam Mini and a ESP8266 Wifi module. The result is the Esparducam board! Sometime ago I came across the Arducam Mini which is quite a nice camera module from UCTronics. It is a small PCB with a two megapixel OmniVision OV2640 sensor, an interchangeable lens and an FPGA […]
Sparkfun: First Impressions of the ESP32
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sparkfun-first-impressions-of-the-esp32/
Jimb0 @ sparkfun.com takes a first look on the new ESP32 WiFi board by Espressif that’s an improvement of the ESP8266 board. The ESP32 doesn’t replace the ESP8266, but it does improve on it in every aspect. Not only does it have WiFi support, but it also features a Bluetooth 4.2 radio, making it even […]
ESP8266 mains energy monitor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/esp8266-mains-energy-monitor/
Brian Dorey has designed a mains energy monitor based on ESP8266 that have sensors for the mains current, electric meter and gas meter. As the new solar logger did not have this functionality we decided to design a new data-logger that would measure not only the mains current usage but also keep track of the […]

Control Loop Challenges of Wireless Systems
https://www.electronics-lab.com/control-loop-challenges-of-wireless-systems/
Automation is defined as using various control systems to operate equipment such that there is minimal human intervention. Closed control loops (feedback systems) regulate how other systems or devices behave by taking into consideration their output and making corrections based on feedback. An example of this feedback system is Progressive Automation Linear Actuators. In this […]
