Basic Electronics Course: #12 Project 1: Controlling An LED With Touch
This video is part of the basic electronics crash course that covers the essential concepts that you need to be aware of before you can move and start working with more advanced things like Arduinos, Raspberry PIs and so on.
There are many DIY subscriber counter videos that use the ESP32 along with the Arduino YouTubeAPI library but this uses ArduinoJson 5 and was not compatible with the latest Arduino IDE and Nano 33 IoT board. I decided to communicate with the webserver directly and obtain the subscriber count by parsing the JSON data.

A couple of weeks ago, we learned how to build an online weather display system that obtained weather information for a particular city and displayed it on an OLED module. We used the Arduino Nano 33 IoT board for that project which is a new board that has a lot of features but is slightly expensive and larger when compared to alternatives. In this video, we will learn how to build this compact and cute little online weather display widget which is similar to the previous project.
We will be using the WeMos D1 mini board that makes use of the ESP8266 chipset and we will use a 0.96” OLED module for the display. Like the previous project, we will be obtaining the weather information from the OpenWeatherMap service.

We interface a very common and useful sensor, the DHT11, that gives us the temperature and humidity readings. We make use of the Arduino Nano Every and use the DHT11 library from Adafruit. Since this is a basic interfacing video, we only obtain and print the values to the serial terminal.

We learn about serial communication and use some common Arduino functions to test these out.

As 2019 draws to a close, I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for supporting this channel by watching the recent videos and more importantly, by subscribing to this channel. I do realise that it takes that much more effort to subscribe to a small channel that is still in the early stages and I just want you to know that I totally appreciate all your support and feedback.
Here's wishing you a very Happy New Year! I do hope 2020 turns out the way we all hope it will. Thank you again and see you soon :)

There's nothing much to add here. I've been wanting to document the journey of building a business for a while now and I think it's finally time to jump right in - even though it may not necessarily be the best time. Then again, it's almost never the best time to anything.

The most common devices around your home may not have smart capabilities and sometimes, you might simply want to switch them ON/OFF at predetermined times. In this video, we take at one popular solution that uses the Sonoff S26 smart socket that is based on the ESP8266.
Since it does not work with ESPHome out of the box, we will take it apart, flash new firmware to it and configure it within ESPHome. From there, you will be able to push future updates wirelessly, using the OTA feature.

In this video, we take a look at the SDS011 Particulate Matter (PM) sensor. We first learn about the importance of monitoring the PM concentration, we then take a look at the construction and finally, we use an Arduino Nano to obtain the sensor readings.
