This year we take a look at how DFRobot ecosystem develops and how upgraded technologies being applied to implement new and more innovative approaches to learning  Here are 10 of the most viewed projects & tutorials in 2017 that focus on a variety of topics.

                                                                                                                                           

1. Arduino Application- Test DFPlayer Mini MP3 Module
This tutorial mainly shows how to connect DFPlayer module with Arduino and speaker to make a DIY MP3 Player.

                                                                                                                                           

2. Bluno Beetle Simple Tutorial (With Explanatory Images)
This tutorial will walk you through the very basics of Bluno Beetle. It illustrates how Bluetooth can be integrated with Arduino in one board.

                                                                                                                                           

3. Decoding and Sending 433MHz RF Codes with Arduino and RC-Switch
In this tutorial it shows you how to use an Arduino to decode signals from RF remotes, and re-send them to remotely control some mains switches and a garage door.

                                                                                                                                           

4. Build KnowFlow: automatic water monitor
KnowFlow is the name of this water quality monitoring device, based on Arduino Uno. In this tutorial it indicates how to automatically monitor 5 parameters of water: pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, Electronic Conductivity, ORP.

                                                                                                                                           

5. Hyduino - Automated Hydroponics with an Arduino
Hydroponics is growing plants without the use of a traditional dirt medium by using a nutrient rich water solution. It uses 70 to 90 percent LESS water than conventional growing does. This project is made by Elder Austin Simonson.

                                                                                                                                           

6. The Best ESP32 Projects Overview
DFRobot FireBeetle esp32 series is the low-power consumption micro-controller intentionally designed for Internet of Things (IoT) projects. In this article it collects dozens of ESP32 Projects basing on various application scenarios.

                                                                                                                                           

7. Arduino Project 1: LED Flashing
This tutorial is provided as the initial start along with 11 step-by-step tutorials, which aims to help Arduino beginners to understand Arduino programming.

                                                                                                                                           

8. Getting Started with LattePanda
This project is made by Ramin Sangesari. In this project, it shows how he communicated between Arduino (Internal Arduino chip on LattePanda) and Microsoft Visual Studio and send data from the Arduino to use a Windows Application.

                                                                                                                                           

9. DIY A Steampunk Computer
This lattepanda DIY project is shared by Marco Bernal. He took one of Lattepanda and made the following cool steampunk computer.

                                                                                                                                           

10. DIY Life-Size Phone Controlled BB8 Droid (Part I)
In this tutorial it shows us how to build a working, life-sized, phone-controlled Starwars BB-8 droid by use of household materials and a little Arduino circuitry. This project is made by ASCAS.
