ESP8266 DHT11 Humidity Temperature Data logger

ESP8266, Internet of Things, IoT Projects, IoT Tutorials, ,

In this tutorial we are interfacing DHT11 or DHT22 Humidity temperature sensor with ESP8266 NodeMCU. We are making complete Humidity and Temperature data logger with DHT11 and NodeMCU. Data logger web server with real time graphs and tables, mostly seen on thingspeak. But this time we are putting complete graphs and tables all inside NodeMCU without using thingspeak. For this we need graphs library that we are using from chartsjs.org an open source Chart drawing library and Knowledge of alax, html and javascript.

Interfacing DHT11 with NodeMCU Example

ESP8266, IoT Tutorials, ,

In this tutorial we are interfacing DHT11 or DHT22 Humidity temperature sensor with NodeMCU.

The DHT11 (or DHT22 and similar) are cheap temperature and humidity sensors. The communicate with a ESP8266 is over a single wire, but unfortunately it is not compatible with the 1-Wire protocol defined by Dallas Semiconductors.

The electric connection to the NodeMCU is very simple, as the DHT series can be powered direct with 3.3V. Only 3 wires are needed: VCC, GND and the data line.

ESP8266 Debugging Exceptions

ESP8266, IoT Tutorials,

ESP8266 the core includes a Debugging feature that is controllable over the IDE menu. The new menu points manage the real-time Debug messages. It is very useful to sort out watchdog trigger and exception errors. For debugging you can use Serial or Serial 1 and also you can choose the debug level such as WIFI, Core, OTA etc.

Many times you stuck at WDT reset and Stack Exception errors, this is most rarely used tool, many people don’t know it exists. Let’s get know to it, Its very powerful tool comes with NodeMCU or ESP8266.

ESP8266 data logging with real time graphs

ESP8266, IoT Tutorials,

In this tutorial we are going to make really really cool thing with NodeMCU ESP8266. That is data logger web server with real time graphs and tables, mostly seen on thingspeak. But this time we are putting complete graphs and tables all inside NodeMCU without using thingspeak. For this we need graphs library that we are using from chartsjs.org an open source Chart drawing library and Knowledge of alax, html and javascipt.Node MCU data logger Continue reading ESP8266 data logging with real time graphs →

NodeMCU: ESP8266 Arduino JSON parsing example

ESP8266, IoT Tutorials, ,

In this tutorial we learn How to encode and decode json on NodeMCU using Arduino IDE? we will be using the ArduinoJson library for the ESP8266 to help us parse JSON data and extract values based on keys. The ArduinoJson library is also capable of serializing JSON, meaning you could generate your own JSON data using data from sensors connected to your ESP8266 or Arduino.
