How we will do it: Connect to Google server, fetch the page header that contain the Timestamp and do some string manipulation to obtain the Date & Time information in the format that we need to be able to update our Real Time Clock: getTime = function() conn=net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0) Read more…
What we will need: CBDB Board USB adapter (take a look on Part 1 for details how to connect them together) DS3231 Module – you can buy them at a very good price HERE, 1.62USD/pcs, a very good deal!! For programming and uploading the driver and the software we Read more…
———————————- UPDATE ————————————– For a ADC Input Frontend with Auto-range capabilities in the 0-40V Input range take a look also at the new ADC Input related article ——————————— UPADTE —————————————- After testing the ESP8266 Internal ADC I think it’s time to see also a higher resolution ADC at work. For Read more…
Now, with a nice and powerful 12 bit DAC working on our ESP8266 CBDB Board ( see Part 1 ) let’s test it to the limit a little bit. As you will see from the Oscilloscope and DMM images below, MCP4726 DAC Output it’s nice, smooth and stable. Not bad Read more…
At least from the zillions of request for a DAC Driver implementation example that I received in the latest weeks, this is the long awaited topic: ESP8266 Modules and Voltage Output Digital-to-Analog Converter control! For our project we will use Microchip MCP4726, a Voltage Output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Read more…
As it was requested from you, my readers, in Part 3 of our CBDB saga, we will start building a simple, high precision, Temperature Data logger based on the MCP9808 chip, a ±0.5°C Maximum Accuracy Digital Temperature Sensor. As far as I know this is the first time NodeMCU float Read more…
