What is Node MCU controller? Previous presentation we learnt about Arduino UNO’s applications and its advantages. Basically we use Ardiuno and microcontroller because it can works automatically . An open source development board based on the ESP8266 Wifi module. Featuring the micro controller It provides the feature of developing IOT applications using Lua scripting language. With compact size, low power consumption and extensive community support.It is a versatile solution for building advanced IOT systems.
Components:
Key feartures : Integrated Wifi connectivity for seamless IOT communications. Lua scripting language for rapid prototyping and development. GPIO pins for connecting sensors,acutators and other peripherals. Compatibility with popular IOT platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. OTA firmware updates for remote device management.
Benefits and Advantages: Cost-effective solutions compared to traditional microcontrollers. Easy to program and Lua scripting language. Integration with popular IOT platforms and frameworks.It is breadboard friendly and compact. Compact size and low power consumption. Flexible and coustamizable for a wide range of IOT applications.
Applications: The node MCU controller finds applications in various industries including Home automation and smart devices. Industrial monitoring and control systems. Environmental sensing and data logging. Agriculture and farming automation. Smart cities and infrastructure management.
Comparing A rduino N ano and node MCU Arduino Nano: a)32kb flash memory ,16MHz clock ,8kb SRAM b)mini-B USB connector. c)No wireless pheripherals and it has 8 bit microcontroller. Node MCU: a)4mb of flash memory,80MHz clock,50kb RAM b)micro-B USB connector,On board Wifi connectivity 32 bit microcontroller.
Limitations: The pins are not 5V tolerant ,applying more than 3.6Von any pin will kill the chip. The maximum current drawn from the single GPIO pin is 12mA.
