  • ESP32 WiFi Color Display Kit Grande - Elektor

    ThingPulse ThingPulse ESP32 WiFi Color Display Kit Grande

    This DIY Color Display Kit is a fun and educational project for makers of all ages. It is a great way to learn about electronics, programming, and improve your soldering skills. Microcontroller As this kit ships with the ePulse Feather ESP32 development board, the kit thereby inherits all the great features of said devkit. Display The large 3.5" 320x480 color display also sports a high-precision capacitive touch interface. Contrary to resistive touch interfaces that often work best when using a stylus this auto-calibrated module offers a smartphone-like user experience. Connector PCB The connectors for the display are already pre-assembled on the connector PCB, as those require a more experienced hand at the soldering iron. Hence, for the inexperienced solderer this offers the best of both worlds. Also, you may choose to not add the on-off switch or the Grove connector; both are optional. The connector PCB offers extendability in two ways: the broken out pins of the microcontroller and the connector for the Grove system.

  •  -15% Elektor Audio DSP FX Processor (New Revision)

    Elektor Labs Elektor Audio DSP FX Processor (New Revision)

    The Elektor Audio DSP FX Processor combines an ESP32 microcontroller and an ADAU1701 Audio DSP from Analog Devices. Besides a user-programmable DSP core, the ADAU1701 has high-quality analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters built-in and features an I²S port. This makes it suitable as a high-quality audio interface for the ESP32. Programs for the ESP32 can be created with Arduino, Platform IO, CMake or by using the Espressif IDF in another way. Programs for the ADAU7101 audio DSPs are created with the free visual programming tool SigmaStudio by dragging and dropping pre-defined algorithm blocks on a canvas. Applications Bluetooth/Wi-Fi audio sink (e.g. loudspeaker) & source Guitar effect pedal (stomp box) Music synthesizer Sound/function generator Programmable cross-over filter for loudspeakers Advanced audio effects processor (reverb, chorus, pitch shifting, etc.) Internet-connected audio device DSP experimentation platform Wireless MIDI MIDI to CV converter and many more...

  •  -27% Heltec HT - M00 Dual - Channel LoRa Gateway (EU868) - Elektor

    Heltec Automation Heltec HT-M00 Dual-Channel LoRa Gateway (EU868)

    The HT-M00 is a dual-channel gateway that is specifically designed to cater to smart family LoRa applications that work with less than 30 LoRa nodes. The gateway has been built around two SX1276 chips that are driven by ESP32. To enable monitoring of 125 KHz SF7~SF12 spreading factor, a software mixer has been developed, which is commonly referred to as a baseband simulation program. The software mixer is a critical component that enables the HT-M00 gateway to operate with high efficiency. It is designed to simulate baseband signals, which are then mixed with the radio frequency signals to produce the desired output. The software mixer has been developed with great care and precision, and has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it is capable of delivering accurate and reliable results. Features ESP32 + SX1276 Emulates LoRa demodulators Automatic adaptive spread spectrum factor, SF7 to SF12 for each channel is optional Maximum output: 18 ±1dBm Support for LoRaWAN Class A, Class C protocol Specifications MCU ESP32-D0WDQ6 LoRa Chipset SX1276 LoRa Band 863~870 MHz Power Supply Voltage 5 V Receiving Sensitivity -110 dBm @ 300 bps Interface USB-C Max.

    Makerfabs Makerfabs SenseLoRa LoRa Receiver (EU868)

    LoRaWAN is beneficial, but sometimes it is unnecessary, difficult, or expensive to implement a LoRaWAN network, especially when considering cloud integration. For example, monitoring soil moisture in your backyard or tracking conditions in your farm's greenhouse may not require a full LoRaWAN setup. This LoRa receiver is designed to work with Makerfabs SenseLora modules. It receives LoRa signals and forwards them to a computer, allowing the data to be displayed, recorded, and analyzed on the computer. Downloads Manual Software
