Kniwwelino is the latest in a line of micro:bit-inspired projects that we’ve seen, but this one comes with a twist: it uses an ESP8266 and WiFi at the core instead of the nR51 ARM/BTLE chip. That ...

Say, you’re starting your electronics journey with a few projects in mind. You have an ESP8266 board like the Wemos D1, a Li-Ion battery, you want to build a small battery-powered sensor that wakes up ...

In this video, I’m building a LoRaWAN Class A sensor node using an ESP8266, BME680 environmental sensor, and REYAX RYLR993 LoRa module. The device measures temperature, humidity, pressure, and gas ...

A new robot has been created powered by the awesome BBC micro:bit mini PC providing a sensor controlled micro:bit robot that can be programmed and includes movable arms and legs. Watch the ...

LAST week it was rain. This week, our mini weather station will measure temperature and humidity. And by using a second BBC micro:bit, we can get the readings before heading outside. First, we need a ...

Makers, hobbyists and developers but are looking to add a little extra personality to their next electronic project that uses an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Crumble, Codebug or Micro:Bit mini PC might be ...

Recently at BBC Research & Development, we got our hands on the new BBC micro:bit v2, a pocket-sized computer first launched in 2015 to help teach computer science. The first generation of this device ...
