The main purpose of this site is to explore ideas on connectivity between devices, and to the world wide web! \u00a0 You will find &#8220;modularized&#8221; documentation on specific ideas that I would like to share, as well as common procedures for simple tasks. I will be posting documentation on my projects as I build them. \u00a0 \u00a0By using the Atmega 328 microprocessor, a very inexpensive wifi module (the ESP8266), and a web server, we can connect devices and share data around the world. I became interested in micro controllers as an alternative to industrial automation controllers (PLCs). \u00a0 Industrial controllers can cost as much as $2000 to $3000 for the controller alone. \u00a0 You can purchase the Atmega 328 as cheap as $1, or a complete Arduino-compatible board for $5. \u00a0Of course the I\/O on a micro controller itself is limited. \u00a0You can expand this\u00a0through the use of an I\/O expander chip such as the MCP23017, or bit shift registers such as the 74HC595.<\/p><div id=\"bryce-226101149\" class=\"bryce-afterfirst bryce-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8316758073402323\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8316758073402323\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7728240895\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_7\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7\" class=\"wp-image-7 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/i2ccropped-300x126.jpg\" alt=\"Breadboard automation\" width=\"300\" height=\"126\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/i2ccropped-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/i2ccropped-768x322.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/i2ccropped-1024x429.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bryceautomation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/i2ccropped.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/126;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Arduino Breadboard<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On this site, I hope to post my experiences with using the micro controllers in a simulated industrial environment for the purpose of experimentation. \u00a0This is\u00a0not\u00a0a replacement for PLCs \u00a0All documentation and videos are on a &#8220;use at your own risk&#8221; basis. \u00a0 Please be sure to take all necessary precautions for safety. \u00a0 Be sure you are familiar with safe electrical practices before attempting any projects that are contained on this site.
