<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSummary of 2020 \u2013 Most Popular<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a quick summary of the most popular content in 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2020 we’ve published a total of 97 new projects and guides! This was by far the year that we’ve published the highest number of projects. This means that we were able to consistently publish an average of 2 tutorials per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating and writing new tutorials every week is not easy, it takes a lot of time and effort. We’re really proud of this. This was also the year that our website received more visitors. Random Nerd Tutorials keeps growing consistently every year and we must thank you for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to our video content, this was the year that we’ve published less videos (only eight videos). We’re always thinking about creating new videos, but we end up focusing more in written content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We reflect about this topic every year and we weren’t able to improve. Nonetheless, I think the videos published throughout this year are much better quality (structure, video editing, etc.) compared to our videos from previous years. Visit our YouTube channel and see what you think: Random Nerd Tutorials YouTube Channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These were the 5 most popular projects published in 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. ESP32 IoT Shield PCB with Dashboard for Outputs and Sensors<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This project shows how to build an IoT shield PCB for the ESP32 and a web server dashboard to control it. The shield is equipped with a BME280 sensor, an LDR, a PIR motion sensor, a status LED, a pushbutton and a terminal socket to connect a relay module or any other output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. ESP32: ESP-NOW Web Server Sensor Dashboard (ESP-NOW + Wi-Fi)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this project you\u2019ll learn how to host an ESP32 web server and use ESP-NOW communication protocol at the same time. You can have several ESP32 boards sending sensor readings via ESP-NOW to one ESP32 receiver that displays all readings on a web server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.<\/strong> ESP32-CAM with Telegram: Take Photos, Control Outputs, Request Sensor Readings and Motion Notifications<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this project you’ll create a PCB shield for the ESP32-CAM AI-Thinker board with a PIR motion sensor, a BME280 temperature, humidity and pressure sensor and some additional exposed pins. We create a Telegram bot for the ESP32-CAM that allows you to control your board from anywhere to request a photo, sensor readings or control the flash. Additionally, you\u2019ll receive a notification with a new photo whenever motion is detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDuring this Year…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
