In this article we look at five Wemos shields and will have examples of their usage. The Wemos mini is my favourite development board for the ESP8266 microcontroller. The shields we are looking at are the PIR Shield, Ambient light Shield, WS2812B RGB Shield, SHT30 Shield and the Matrix LED Shield.
The Easy Module Shield in my opinion is one of the best shields you can buy for your Arduino Uno, the shield consists of the following features Two pushbutton switches Two LEDs One RGB LED Infrared receiving module Light dependent resistor Buzzer Potentiometer DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor module LM35 temperature sensor Here is a picture of the shield, you can clearly see the various parts mentioned above. Due to the large amount of features listed above, you can create many examples and therefore this is ideal for…
In this article we will introduce you to the JavaScript Blocks Editor for the micro:bit, we will create some simple examples for the micro:bit. The blocks editor makes it incredibly easy to create simple examples with no coding, you can also switch to Javascript and see the code version of the block examples which you create.
A common question which crops up is should I choose an Arduino uno or nano for my projects First of all lets look at the classic Arduino Uno The Arduino Uno The Arduino UNO is the most famous of all of the Arduino boards.The Arduino UNO has 6 analog inputs and 14 digital I/O where 6 of them are PWM outputs. It uses a ATmega328 processor with 32kB flash memory. The clock speed of the Arduino UNO is 16Mhz and its size is 68.6mm x 53.3mm. One of the big positives with the Arduino Uno is that there are masses of shields that…
