RGB control over wifi (with ESP8266 ESP-01)

RGB control over wifi (with ESP8266 ESP-01)

This project is inspired by my friends at DimSumLabs who created a web server to control the lab’s RGB LED lights, using the ESP8266 wifi module and NodeMCU to program it. I made a smaller version, using the familiar Arduino IDE with an

Remote control by Arduino phone DTMF (with SIM800)

Remote control by Arduino phone DTMF (with SIM800)

The SIM800 module is great for making a simple phone and listening to the radio, but i noticed it also has a DTMF decoder onboard which allows us to control our Arduino remotely! DTMF are the ‘touchtone’ signals you can send over the
