I have set up a Github Sponsorship page, it's similar style thing to patreon. Github sponsorships help support videos like these plus the open source projects I create.
In this video, we take a look at using an ESP8266 with Telegram messenger to wake a PC from anywhere in the world using Wake on Lan (WoL)
My use case for this is to be able to turn my PC on to download steam games or updates

Join me as I build an alarm clock out of a ESP8266 and a 7 segment display.
Part 1 can be seen here: https://youtu.be/JD9WV7nucKQ
In part 2 we will look at setting alarms using a web interface and way of turning off the alarms might be useful!
Code from the stream is here: https://github.com/witnessmenow/arduino-alarm-clock
Some features ideas for the clock:
- Get the time from the internet (NTP server) (Part 1)
- Set the alarms remotely
- Check Google maps for travel time to work and adjust the alarm if needed
Would love to hear any other suggestions you have!

In this video I'm going to show you how to add WiFi controls to a toy remote control car using an ESP8266.
This is actually a really simple project, so it would actually make a good project for someone pretty new to Arduino. Even the way I show it in the video I did not even need to solder for it.
