ESP8266-Based Environmental Monitoring System with Motion Detection
View and Edit Project In Cirkit Designer
Circuit Documentation
Summary
The circuit in question is designed to interface various sensors and an I2C LCD screen with an ESP-8266 microcontroller. The sensors include an MQ-4 gas sensor, an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, and an HC-SR501 motion sensor. The circuit is powered via a USB power module. The ESP-8266 controller serves as the central processing unit, reading data from the sensors, and displaying information on the I2C LCD screen. The circuit is designed for monitoring environmental parameters and displaying them or triggering actions based on sensor inputs.
