Building a Smart 4-Channel PWM Controller with ESP32 and High-Efficiency MOSFETs
This 4-channel PWM controller uses an ESP32 (for smart control), TC4427 MOSFET drivers, and CSD17573Q5B MOSFETs (for efficient switching). It delivers precise, adjustable power (up to 18V/10A per channel) with minimal heat loss. Features include WiFi/MQTT control, local button inputs, and gamma-corrected LED dimming. Designed for a 12V LED spotlight, it’s also ideal for motors, heaters, or lab supplies. Fully open-source—schematics, firmware, and 3D-printable enclosure files are available.
ESP32-S3-Mini-1 Development Board
Below I present my own ESP32-S3 development board. The reason for creating my own development board is twofold: Features and advantages This board is using the ESP32-S3-MINI-1 module from Espressif. The board’s features include the following: Schematics Here is the schematics of the development board: Board As usual, I designed …
An ESP-Now – WiFi Gateway or Preparing for Integrating Solar Powered ESP Based Devices to my Home Automation System
Since I live in an area where sunshine is almost always abundant, it makes sense to harvest energy from the sun as much as possible. This includes making various sensors around the house, especially the ones that are outside, operate with solar energy. This is usually not a very difficult …
GPS/GSM Vehicle Tracker/Recorder
The article below is a detailed description of a GPS and GSM based vehicle tracking solution I have created recently. Its major features: Real time location reports using an onboard GSM modem. Has a micro SD card socket for offline storage on a memory card – this way using a …
Custom Development Boards To Speed up Development
(This article is updated regularly as I create new development boards. The new ones are towards the bottom of this page.) Over the years I have created several development boards and breakout boards. Despite their cost (time, effort, money) they are invaluable investments for development. They simplify and speed up …
