Controlling a servo motor with Keypad KS0260
In this post, I want to show you how to control a servo motor with the Touch Keypad KS0260 from Keyestudio. In the last post Touch Keypad (KS0260) with 16 keys for Arduino & Raspberry and in the YouTube video Programming Keyestudio Touch Keypad KS0260 on Arduino UNO I already introduced the keypad and showed…
KS0260 type touch keypad at Arduino
In this post, I would like to show you how to program the KS0260 from Keyestudio type touch keypad with 16 buttons on the Arduino. The touch keypad comes pre-assembled in a small box, so all you really need is 4 breadboard cables and a microcontroller. Obtaining the touch keypad The model I have was…
Arduino Lesson #10 – NTC Thermistor
In this new blogpost I like to show how to code a NTC Thermistor at Arduino device. An NTC resistor (Negative Temperature Thermistor) is a temperature-dependent resistor. By means of a voltage divider circuit, one can measure the temperature with this component. An NTC resistor has a negative temperature coefficient, i.e. this component conducts the…
Arduino Lesson #9 – serial communication
Via the serial interface of an Arduino, you can send and receive data. In this tutorial, I want to explain how to send & evaluate data via the serial communication pins RX & TX to another Arduino. Parts list For this tutorial, I use the following components: Note from me: The links marked with an…
DIY Weather Station v2.0
In this article I would like to introduce you to the DIY Weather Station V2. This slightly improved version now has an OLED display and a piezo buzzer for the output of signals. History – What is the difference to version 1? In the first version, I had chosen the design of the board to…
Arduino Lesson #8 – MAX6675 temperature module
In this post, I like to present the MAX6675 temperature module at Arduino UNO. In the past post at my blog, I show you another digital temperature sensor Arduino Lesson #6 – digital temperature sensor DS18B20, but this sensor is very special. Buy a MAX6675 temperature module You can find this module very cheap at…
Shelly 1 #1 – set up and operate from a power socket
In this post, I want to introduce you to the Shelly and show you how to set it up and create an app-controlled socket. I have already explained in detail how to control a socket using Amazon Alexa in the German article ESP8266 – Alexa gesteuerte Steckdose. Here, however, we will first look at how…
