    Mems Microphone Array and ESP32, with or without codec IC?

    Hi I am planning to construct a mems microphone array with 4 to 5 microphones, such as SPH0690LM4H-1 Datasheet Rev A.docx (mouser.co.uk) These are PDM interfaced. If I have understood it correctly, these just require a CLK pulse, and I am reading digital databack. I have been advice by...

    Relay alternative for low power devices?

    I have an esp32 to take measurements with an ultrasonic sensor equipped with a separate circuit board. The esp32 mostly sleeps, so to extend the battery life, I want to cut power to the sensor's board while the esp is sleeping. I measured a traditional relay to use about 70ma when it’s on. I...

    Protecting PCB, multiplexers and MCU in vending machines

    Hello everyone, I am working on a low cost vending machine with the ESP32 and as you may know, it is necessary to properly protect the components to prevent users from trying to steal money or damage the components. The PCB has a TFT display and several multiplexers to communicate the ESP32 with...

    My first ESP32 Dev board design

    Hi everyone, I am relatively new to designing schematics and PCB's and have only ever done simple circuits up until now. I have tried my hand at designing my very first ESP32 based Dev board. I know that these can be bought for fairly cheap already, but wanted to have a go at actually designing...

    ESP32 - How to save a PDF to open on the access point?

    Is SPIFFS used? How? Is there a simple example of a program that allows a user to open a PDF on the AP? By default, about 1.5 MB of the onboard flash is allocated to SPIFFS.

    How to send commands to be executed at a later time from Android App to ESP32?

    I am trying to send commands to an ESP32 to control motors at a specific later time from an Android App using Wi-Fi. I am confused on how I would accomplish this? I tried searching for a method and came across using the AlarmManager class, but that seems to be useful for getting notifications...

    looking for a list of ESP32 sketch programming commands

    Hi experts, I am just starting with ESP32. Nothing serious, just for hobby projects. I am looking for a list of programming commands with some minimum description/explanation for use in ESP32 sketches. I know that sketch commands are part of header files e.g. <wifi.h> or <time.h> etc. included...

    3.3V battery pack / charging solution

    Hi folks! So I'm looking into the following, but having a very hard time finding any (remotely) definitive answers. For my smart home, I'm looking to integrate more and more sensors that can relay all sorts of information. Most of these sensors I create myself using ESP32's and the like...

    ESP32 24V Relay Control

    Bakground: I am designing a smart controller for an existing heating system. The system and pumps are controlled by 200V AC latching relays. As an interface to the existing controller, these are controlled by 24V DC relays. As a Mechanical Engineering I understand some basic electronics but not...

    W5500 design issues.

    Hi, I'm trying to create a little ethernet board and I seemingly can't get it to communicate with an ESP32. I'm posting in this thread first as I suspect it's due to the design rather than the ESP32 ethernet library(could be). The design is based on the W5500 as its the chip LCSC has the most...

    What to use ESP32?

    Hi, I am doing a small smart home project (model). I'm going to use an LCD, 2 led strips, 4 sensors, 2 micro servos and 4 leds. I counted that I would need about 29 pins and now I wonder what microcontroller is best to use, from the beginning I thought about Esp32 but one Esp32 is not enough and...

    ESP32 Modbus RTU to Redlion HMI

    Hopefully, I can convey the issue in a clear concise manner. I designed a micro PLC with an ESP32 DEVKIT V1 at heart just for personal projects and to learn as I've always been fascinated with electronics. It has (8) digital inputs, (6) digital outputs, RS-485 connection, LCD connection, I2C...
