Reddit’s API has been piquing my curiosity for some time. However, my past experiences with APIs, especially with Twitter and Facebook have left a bad taste in my mouth. Then one day I had the courage to try it again using ESP32 and to my surprise, it’s far easier than …

When working with IoT, it’s often necessary to track a device’s location for monitoring. Global Positioning Service (GPS) remains the number 1 option for large-area tracking. This project will show you how you can use a GPS with an ESP32 and have the location plotted on Google Maps.

For this project, I am using an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor for opening a solenoid door lock. Basically, the ultrasonic sensor acts as a proximity detector. A solenoid lock triggers when an object blocks the sensor at a given distance. In addition, a web app can act as WiFi remote control …
