Digital Alarm Clock using PIC Microcontroller and DS3234 RTC

Here is a digital alarm clock made using PIC 18F4520 Microcontroller and DS3234 RTC (Real Time Clock). This project is for educational purposes or can be used as a reference for integrating DS3234 RTC. DS3234 is a very accurate RTC IC with integrated on chip temperature compensated crystal oscillator. It can be integrated with a microcontroller using SPI bus. This project is developed using MPLAB XC8 compiler.

IoT Temperature Data Logger Using ESP8266 and LM35

In this project, we are going to log and monitor temperature data over internet using ThingSpeak IoT server. And we can view the logged data and graph over time in their website. It is made using ESP8266 WiFi module and LM35 temperature sensor. ESP8266 WiFi chip reads the current temperature from LM35 using ADC and sends it to ThingSpeak server for live monitoring from anywhere in the world.
