ESP8266 is a highly integrated chip with Integrated TCP/IP protocol stack. It offers a complete and self-contained WiFi networking solution, allowing it to either host the application or to offload all WiFi networking functions from another application processor. The ESP8266 module is an extremely cost effective board with a huge, and ever growing, community. Besides, ESP8266 has powerful on-board processing and storage capabilities that allow it to be integrated with sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry, and the entire solution, including front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area. There is

A smart home, or smart house, is a home that incorporates advanced automation systems to provide the inhabitants with sophisticated monitoring and control over the building's functions. For example a smart home may control lighting,temperature, multi-media, security, window and door operations, as well as many other functions. Nowadays some families have already taken full use of smart home system to enjoy much convenience and comfort. But what they use most? It turned out to be these following kinds of products.

As you see, GPRS brings the new era of innovation with its combined function of GSM and GPS. We all are enjoying the convenience and benefaction from applications of GPRS,especially from these five most popular projects of GPRS modules and shields. Remote control via GPRS/GSM SMS (Arduino) With Arduino, GPRS modules and some other related modules, you are able to control the power supply of washer or air conditioner these devices by microchip such as AVR or PIC with relay. You can send a message via phone to control the relay on&off. With this, it will be convenient to control any device wirelessly, especially helpfully on irrigation, smart home, outdoor remote control etc.

Are you still looking for SIM908 which has already stopped to produce for most regions and countries ? Nowadays it comes to the recognition and popularity that SIM808 overmatches SIM908 in its cost effect、more functions and inexpensive price. Why? You can find answers below. COMMON POINTS TO SHARE

1. The GSM/GPRS engine is a quad-band GSM/GPRS module that works on frequencies GSM 850MHz, EGSM 900MHz, DCS 1800MHz and PCS 1900MHz.
2. SIM808 and SIM908 features GPRS

We're excited to see that our cooperated project Ruuvi tag has launched on Kickstarter. What's amazing is that it reached it's $10,000 goal in less than four hours.

RuuviTag is a stand-alone Bluetooth 5 ready sensor beacon platform. It can be used as a standard Eddystone/iBeacon proximity beacon but it has

Robot arm is vital to makers among daily projects. Today, I would like to introduce 5 awesome robot arms crowdfund on kickstarter. I'm sure that you can find one suitable or attractive to you.

1. Uarm  uArm is a 4-axis parallel-mechanism robot arm, which is inspired by the ABB PalletPack industrial robot arm IRB460. Uarm is made of arylic or wood, and it's controlled by Arduino-compatible board. It's inexpensive, a relatively simple and basic one. You can control the arm with remote controller, wireless keyboard or ceilphone bluetooth. The wood or acrylic

Outsourcing SMT PCB assembly is a strategic move that saves significant capital on equipment and expertise. It lowers per-unit costs through economies of scale, ensures superior quality via professional manufacturing, and accelerates your product's time-to-market. This partnership allows you to focus on innovation while experts handle production for a competitive edge.

One raspberry pi 3 board is enough to help you make a simple computer all by yourself(click here  learn how-to). So, what will happen if we connect several pi boards, that is a supercomputer. Here I collect 5 raspberry pi cluster projects as your reference to learn to make a raspberry pi cluster supercomputer.
