First off, we'll use the Arduino's digital pin 8 to send a signal to the relay, through the other components. So hook up the pin 8 to a 1 kohm resistor. Why the resistor, because the transistor I'm using that will catch the signal from the pin no. 8 can't handle the full 5v...
Pin Plugs:Apin plug, otherwise known as a jumper wire is a simple wire with a single plug on the end that you can use to connect external devices to your Arduino. Each pin plug can connect to one pin on your Arduino. For example, one wire could be connected to pin 13 (which will...
As we know, if we connect a LED to the digital output of Arduino, and make this pin output High or Low, the LED would be on/off. This is the first step to learn Arduino. But sometimes, we want to control some modules that works in high voltage/large current, for example, I want...
To show you how to wire the relay, let’s build a temperature controlled relay circuit that will turn off a light bulb when the temperature of a thermistor reaches 150°F.Thermistorsare really useful with 5V relays. You can use them to turn off a large motor if gets too hot or turn o...
To control high-voltage or high-power circuits with an Arduino, you have to isolate them from the Arduino with a relay. Here's how! To control high-voltage or high-power circuits with an Arduino, you have to isolate them from the Arduino with a relay. Here's how! Circuits that operate...
If both the receiver and the Arduino have separate power sources, you do not need to connect a power wire between the two boards. Ground Next up is the ground connection. This one is easy: connect the grounds between the two boards – GND on the Arduino to ground on the RC receiver (...
ESP32 is a microcontroller board with a vast range of capabilities. It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules. Using both these modules, you can program ESP32 wirelessly. With this, you don’t have to worry about long-wire connections for controlling ESP32 peripherals. ...

An IC mounted on the back of the unit converts the resistance measurement to relative humidity. It also stores the calibration coefficients, and controls the data signal transmission between the DHT11 and the Arduino: The DHT11 uses just one signal wire to transmit data to the Arduino. Power...
1. Run a wire from the digital GND port of the Arduino to the negative outer rail of the breadboard, as shown in image 1. 2. Place your three resistors (I used 1kilo-ohm resistors for this example, which matched my LEDs well enough) in an evenly-spaced fashion on the inner rails ...
