Watch OTT Content on Raspberry Pi

Image
In India, Online Media Streaming is gaining popularity very rapidly especially due to the Global Pandemic. One more reason for this is the content that is provided on the OTT Platforms. You also get the benefit of saving your storage space as the minimum storage is used while watching online media and you can set the quality of media according to your network speed. The increased number of OTT Subscription leads Circuit Digest to find a new way of watching OTT media, through RaspberryPi .   If you don't know about RaspberryPi , it  is Linux based palm-size computer and can do all the tasks which a ‘normal’ computer can do. This is not the exact definition but this might give you some hint about it. The player we will be using to watch videos is Kodi media player .   Kodi is an open-source software media center, which allows us to access all kinds of content, including videos and music. We can run that content on any device like TV, laptop, phone, even in our Raspberry Pi. It comes

Create a Telegram Bot with ESP32 which controls GPIO Pins through Telegram Chat

Telegram is a cross-platform cloud-based instant messaging, videotelephony, and VoIP service with end-to-end-encrypted chat for secret chat only, whereas server-client / client-server encryption is used in cloud chat. In Today's world, everything is getting smart. Many new smart devices are being introduced in the commercial markets. Controlling all smart devices can be a handy job. IoTDesignPro comes with a different way of handling your smart devices. Unlike other social media apps, Telegram allows users to share any kind of open-source content. It announced the Telegram bot API in 2015, which lets third parties create telegram bots for ESP32 that utilize the messaging application as their main communication interface. This means that we can control any smart device with Telegram only. Previously, IotDesignPro also did some projects with the telegram app like Using Telegram Bot with Raspberry Pi: Sharing Text and Files Raspberry Pi GPIO control using Telegram App You might find

Build your own Arduino based Smart Vacuum Cleaner Robot for Automatic Floor Cleaning

Image
 In today's rapidly growing world, we all are busy every time doing something. We don't have time to clean our house regularly. Thinking about this situation Circuit Digest has innovated a new Smart Vaccum Cleaner Robot. Although, there are already some self-cleaning robots available in the market but what makes this smart robot worth buying is that it is way too cheaper than the current commercial products available. For instance, Roomba is the most popular cleaning robot and the cheapest Roomba cleaning robot available in the market costs 24000 INR (at the time of writing). The robot is simple to make, Lightweight, and practical. It comes with ultrasonic sensors and an IR Proximity sensor. Ultrasonic sensors help the robot to avoid obstacles and move freely in the room until it is completely cleaned. IR proximity sensors prevent the robot from falling down the stairs. Circuit digest also made some awesome and interesting bots before which include  Self Balancing Robot ,  Au

Two-Wire Hall Effect Switches with Self Diagnostics offer High Sensitivity and Stability Performance in Automotive Applications

Image
  Diodes Incorporated introduces two new Switch ICs. The first one is two-wire unipolar (AH323xQ/4xQ) and the second one is latch (AH327xQ/8xQ) . They provide high sensitivity and high stability over the operating temperature range. Both of them come with integrating self-diagnostics for monitoring the main device blocks, supply voltage, and temperature, the abnormal condition will be indicated by the third output state. To provide superior stability of the magnetic operating and release points (BOP/BRP), it is given the advanced chopper-stabilized design. By coupling stability with a high ESD rating of 8kV, built-in reverse blocking diodes, and supply pin Zener clamp, we can meet the demanding requirements of automotive proximity/position sensing applications. The two-wire hall switches reduce the number of wires and thus reduce the system complexity and cost at the same time. Thus, improving robustness to electrical voice. With a  2.7V to 27V operating voltage and -40˚C to +150˚C t

Hyundai's new Mini 45EV self driving AI based SUV helps child patients to reduce treatment stress

Image
 Recently, Hyundai organized a PR Campaign with their new Little Big e-motion Project. Hyundai donated a Mini 45 EF SUV designed for children to get them ready emotionally for their treatment. The mini SUV drives children from their hospital beds to the treatment room.  Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona is a children's hospital in Spain. This PR Campaign was genuinely for a real good purpose.  Now you might be thinking what's the point of making an SUV just to drive children from one hospital room to another?  Well, This SUV is not just another SUV, It is an AI-based SUV. After recognizing the emotions of the child this SUV sends the report to the hospital staff.  If the patient child is not ready for the treatment the SUV itself interacts with the child and manipulates the patient's emotions. The SUV has a camera and a screen in front. When the child sits the camera uses sophisticated facial recognition software to determine the emotional state of the little patient. It also has
