After almost two years of development, Arduino released its IDE 1.6. A lot of changes have been made thanks to the huge work of developers and, above all, thanks to the support of makers and passionate community that reported all the issues and, often, helped finding solutions. Among all…
MeshSr is specialized in the development and production of platforms for networking communication, especially in the field of Software-Defined-Networking (SDN). They’ve released on Kickstarter an open source platform: “The ONetSwitch project sets up an open Software Defined Networking platform for you, building your own network appliance that transform, inspect, filter or otherwise manipulate Lab/Home traffic…
Today we present a Bridge between Raspberry Pi and Arduino that leverages the hardware equipment and the computing power of the first with the shields and the applications of the second. The worlds of Raspberry and Arduino increasingly tend to converge to give users a bridge between the enormous potential of the embedded Linux platform…
Blynk it’s an awesome project that’s raising fund on kickstarter: it let’s you build apps for your Arduinos with your Smartphone: What is Blynk? Imagine a prototyping board on your smartphone where you drag and drop buttons, sliders, displays, graphs and other functional widgets. And in a matter of minutes these widgets can control Arduino and…
We will equip Arduino with wireless connectivity basing on MRF24J4 module by Microchip. As a sample application, we will remotely control a relay, operated by a floating input, and we will virtualize the Arduino USB serial port. The MRF24J40MA radio module is manufactured by Microchip, that also provides useful and complete software libraries…
I think we, somehow, lost this project when it went out in october but since is a very nice project – that was also funded – we just decided to bring it to your attention. The T400 is: easy-to-use “plug and play” device that’s more than accurate enough for most purposes, yet still has the…
We present a caterpillar robot based on Arduino Uno, remotely controlled through a Play Station 2 wireless controllers. Since we are not insensitive to solutions making life easier, we have considered the idea of creating and proposing something that could help us avoiding the cold and fatigue of using the usual manual shovel and…
Despite it doesn’t look like the campaign will take off anytime soon, the project looks really well though and prototypes look good: PieceDuino is a modularized Arduino design: the project also sports a variety of connectivity technologies like ZigBee, WiFi and more. What exactly is PieceDuino about? It is a modularized Arduino and works when stacking…
ATtiny ISP Shield is about porting your small Arduino projects to a low cost chip easily, which is a very interesting and useful thing to do: ATtiny ISP Shield makes programing AVR ATtiny bare Chips easy and simple and also helps shrinkfy your arduino projects ATtiny ISP Shield is a programing tool used to program…
The leading chipset provider Infineon just announced two Arduino shields. The shields target RGB lighting and motor control. Until the end of January, both Shields, the RGB Lighting Shield with XMC1202 for Arduino and the DC Motor Control Shield with BTN8982TA for Arduino, are available from Farnell element14 and Newark element14 , afterwards also from Infineon…
Intresting to see how the first moment in which the white house is related to the concept of open source hardware is for the creation of a funny christmas decoration – two dog “animatrons”. Read the full story on White house blog and access files on GitHub. As often, everything is powered by Arduino boards….
The Christmas eve is approaching and – even if we’re a bit late on this – we make a Christmas Lamp, capable of emitting light of the same color of the surface it is laid on! The project can be divided into three “modules”. A “sensor module” able to recognize the color tone of the…
Open-Electronics.org is the brainchild of a world leader in hobby electronics Futura Group srl. Open-Electronics.org is devoted to support development, hacking and playing with electronics: we share exciting open projects and create amazing products!
Open-Electronics.org is not just a container of ideas: it is also a web site lead by a team of engineers and geeks who will take part in the discussions and give support.
Our mission is to become a reference Open Source hacking site with ideas and feedback aimed to enrich the community.
