Arduino Smart Control allows you to communicate with your Arduino Nano through the Serial. It is possible to switch from one to 4 LEDs (monostable and bistable mode). The bistable mode has a time set to 1 second by default. In addition to switching the LEDs, you can monitor various sensors such as temperature, humidity, water sensor and brightness sensor. You can save, read and delete the memory with the data acquired or sent to the device.
Today we introduce a great LCD expansion shield for Raspberry Pi that allows you to create an interface to control applications without the need to constantly keep a monitor, keyboard and mouse connected. Cool! Isn’t it? The enhanced value of a micro PC as Raspberry Pi with respect to a classic microcontroller is to…
Electricity costs are rising, and just in case this is not enough, if you exaggerate with consumption your house circuit often stops working in the very moment of your greatest need. This project allows you to keep an eye on your electricity instant consumption even remotely. [iframe_loader src=”http://emoncms.org/boris&id=2505 ” ] The acquisition of current consumption…
Tyro Electronics have created a new DIY robotics kit and humanoid robot aptly named TyroBot, which has been designed to help teach those interested more about robotics and programming. The DIY robot kit is available with 3D printed parts if you do not have access to a printer, and is completely open source and built…
What to do when the chosen microcontroller doesn’t have enough pins? We will find out in this tutorial, where we will learn how to use shift registers to control LEDs and read buttons with just three wires! In six steps, we will use the CD4094 and CD4021 with a PIC microcontroller. Build it yourself…
A new type of consumer-tier robot has launched, and it is called Q.bo One. This model, unlike ones before it, is open source and designed for anyone to build. The robot utilizes a simple programming language called Scratch, while the hardware itself is based around Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Q.bo One is targeted at both consumers and…
Monitoring driving habits can be interesting, but make your own telematics box, giving you total control over how data is collected and used, could be better! That’s just what maker TheForeignMan did, using an Arduino Mega to take in data from his car’s OBD-II port, along with position information from a GPS module. Vehicle speed, engine RPM,…
