A phototransistor is a semiconductor device that combines the properties of a photodiode and a transistor. It is sensitive to light and provides amplified electrical output based on the light intensity incident on its base region. Phototransistors play a vital role in optoelectronic applications such as light sensing, encoders, switches, and signal transmission, owing to […]
The term “Piezo” in Piezoelectric Transducer originates from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press” or “to squeeze.” This etymology reflects the fundamental principle of piezoelectricity—a phenomenon in which mechanical pressure generates an electrical voltage. Piezoelectric transducers (sensor / Actuator) harness this effect to convert mechanical energy (such as pressure, force, vibration, or acceleration) into electrical […]
Monitoring the air, we breathe indoors is becoming increasingly important, especially in urban environments where pollution levels can impact our health. In this project, we’ll build a smart Indoor Air Quality Monitoring System using the BME680 environmental sensor, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, and Blynk IoT platform. This compact setup allows real-time tracking of temperature, humidity, barometric […]
Air pollution has become a critical issue in modern society, affecting human health and the environment. Monitoring air quality is essential for creating a healthier living environment. With advancements in IoT (Internet of Things) technology, real-time air quality monitoring has become more accessible and efficient. In this project, we will build an IoT-Based Air Quality […]
Weather monitoring is essential for various applications, from agriculture to home automation. The Arduino-based Weather Station using the BME680 sensor allows users to measure temperature, humidity, pressure, and gas resistance. The data will be displayed on an I2C LCD screen in cyclical manner, also it calculates Dew Point using Magnus formula and Altitude from pressure. […]
The ESP32 is a powerful microcontroller with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it an excellent choice for IoT applications. In this project, we will build a weather station using the ESP32 with BMP280 / BME280 air pressure sensor. The BMP280 measures temperature, pressure, and altitude, while the BME280 adds humidity measurement. The sensor data will […]
