In this tutorial, I use the regular IR camera, and it works fine however if it gets dark it can’t see at all. (Which is probably not much good for a security camera). If you’re after for more information check out my  Raspberry Pi camera  guide for everything you need to know. Secondly, we will need to install the camera (If you haven’t got one you can get one here), to do this go to the ribbon slot (the one directly behind the Ethernet port) using two fingers gently pull up on both sides of the connector. Now the connector is open insert the ribbon cable with the metal leads facing away from the Ethernet port. Make sure it is nicely lined up and then gently press back down on the c...

Creating a web server with Nodemcu

  Hey, In today's blog we are creating a web server with Nodemcu So let's me just quickly show you the instructions. PART 1: CREATE A WEB SERVER USING ARDUINO IDE This part shows you how to create a web server to control two outputs using Arduino IDE. You can use this method to create a different web server to fulfill your needs. Prepare the Arduino IDE 1.  Download and  install the Arduino IDE  on your operating system (some older versions won’t work). 2.  Then, you need to install the ESP8266 add-on for the Arduino IDE. For that, go to  File  >  Preferences . 3.  Enter  http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into the “ Additional Board Manager URLs ” field as shown in the figure below. Then, click the “ OK ” button. 4.  Go to  Tools  >  Board  >  Boards Manager … 5.  Scroll down, select the ESP8266 board menu and install “e sp8266 by ESP8266 Community ”, as shown...
