"#67 Exact Time without RTC Module for the ESP8266: NTP Time In this video I will: - Replace an RTC module including backup battery entry keys and display with a small piece of software - Use the globally available NTP services - Enhance reliability by using server pools instead of individual servers - Present a small library which can be easily used in your own sketches NTPtimeESP Library: https://github.com/SensorsIot/NTPtimeESP Other NTP library: https://github.com/arduino-libraries/NTPClient (without summer time) Unix time conversion: http://www.unixtimestamp.com/ Other video:"

"#60 How to use the RTC Memory in ESP8266 and reduce power consumption by factor of [--] (Tutorial) In episode #58 we built a sensor which uses deep sleep mode. In this video I show you how to use RTC memory which survives deep sleep mode to reduce power consumption even further.

"#324 Wemos D1 Mini: Long Range and Low Power Modification (ESP8266 LiFePo4) The Wemos D1 Mini is my favorite ESP8266 board. It is small cheap easy to use and you get many compatible shields. The prototype shield I like most. Unfortunately these Wemos are not perfect when it comes to power consumption during deep sleep and they do not offer an external antenna. That is what we will change in todays lockdown quickie.

"#355 Let's try to build a Vacuum Tube Radio Vacuum tubes are an old but fascinating technology that was used before transistors were invented. We can learn how simple circuits were back then if we build a kit like this three-tube receiver. Join me on my discovery journey. I have no clue about what I am doing. But after the video we will know more I am sure. Whether the receiver will work or not.

"#247 Do-it-Yourself Thermal Imaging Cameras (AMG8833 MLX90640 M5Stack Arduino IDE) and Flir one Is this a cool thing A self-made thermal imaging camera For only a few bucks Sounds marvelous. Because recently lower cost sensors appeared on the market this seems to be possible. Today we will see where we can use them and if they are worth the money. We will compare the following sensors: - We will start with the ordinary PIR sensor with [--] pixel - And continue with the AMG8833 which has 8x8 pixels - The next is the MLX90640 with 32x24 pixels - And the last is a Flir One 160x120 pixels camera"

"#406 Enocean: Energy Harvesting Switches and Sensors Switches or sensors without wires No problem if you use batteries. But without batteries The Enocean alliance created a standard for such devices. So lets have a closer look at switches and sensors that do not need a battery change. And here I have a cheaper Chinese clone. How does it compare And how do these devices compare with Zigbee or BLE switches and sensors A lot of questions I am a proud Patreon of @GreatScott @ElectroBOOM @Electronoobs @EEVblog and others.

"#30 Internet of Things with ESP8266 #2: Physically Programming ESP-12 How do you program an ESP-7 or ESP-12 module if it is soldered onto a PCB in your "Thing" In this video I show my proposal using pogo pins. I also show how I create the timing to set the ESP8266 automatically into programming mode if the Arduino IDE starts to upload. For this solution I use an Attiny85. The code is on github: https://github.com/SensorsIot/Internet-of-Things-with-ESP8266 Supporting Material and Blog Page: http://www.sensorsiot.org Github: https://www.github.com/sensorsiot If you want to support the channel"
