In this project, I’ll show you how I interface the ESP32 with the INMP441 I2S microphone module, starting from basic audio capture and then moving toward a more interactive application where the sound is visualized in real time on a web browser. When I first worked with microphones on microcontrollers, …

When I first started working with sensors, I expected clean, stable readings. Instead, what I got were values jumping all over the place. A temperature sensor would fluctuate ±2°C, an ADC reading would jitter constantly, and analog signals were almost unusable without processing. That’s when I realized: raw sensor data …

The motherboard is the central backbone of every computer system. Whether it is a laptop, desktop PC, or industrial device, all components communicate through the motherboard. Understanding motherboards and board parts is essential not only for IT professionals and technicians, but also for anyone looking to upgrade, repair, or maintain …

Successful ADU projects depend on more than a good floor plan. They require clear alignment with city and county requirements, practical site evaluation, and construction management that anticipates common obstacles such as utility connections, setbacks, drainage, access, and neighborhood constraints. A+ Construction and Remodeling ADU Builders emphasizes jobsite ready planning …

As demand accelerates for backyard housing, in law suites, and small footprint rental units, ADU Builders California is scaling its operations to meet the needs of single family homeowners and multifamily property owners navigating California ADU regulations. The company builds detached ADUs, attached ADUs, garage conversions, and junior ADUs, with …

Running Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanning and Wi-Fi networking at the same time on an ESP32 sounds straightforward—until it isn’t. Many developers discover that once BLE scanning starts, their Wi-Fi web server becomes unreliable. Pages load intermittently, HTTP requests time out, or BLE scans suddenly stop when Wi-Fi traffic increases. …

Motion detection usually means PIR sensors, cameras, or microphones. ESPectre takes a very different approach: it detects movement by analyzing how the human body disturbs Wi-Fi radio waves. Interestingly, many modern signal-processing systems — from Wi-Fi sensing to broadcast monitoring infrastructures like this Thor Broadcast deployment — rely on analyzing …

In this tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how I send sensor data from an ESP32 to Google Sheets every hour.

If you’re looking for a simple but powerful way to control AC or DC devices over Wi‑Fi, the ESP8266 relay board is one of the best places to start. I’ve used ESP8266‑based boards in many hobby and semi‑professional projects, and relay boards are usually the first real‑world application people build.

In this tutorial, I’m going to walk you through how I built my own voice assistant—similar to Alexa or Google Home—using only a Raspberry Pi 5, a USB microphone, a speaker, and an LLM with text-to-speech (TTS) and speech-to-text (STT) support. By the end of this guide, you’ll have a …
