Phoenard project just got funded on Kickstarter: is an All-in-one Arduino-compatible prototyping Gadget powered, essentially a pocket-sized prototyping platform which you can use instead of an Arduino board Arduino, obviously having much more features: Rich Features: Self-programmed, Full-color touchscreen display, on-board battery and much more are included Portability: Being pocket-sized with dimension only 11.8 x 6.1 x…
ArduRF is is a wireless electronics development platform closely based on Arduino hardware that wants to make Wireless Links easier keeping full Arduino Compatibility with Long Range AES-128 Encrypted Radio Link, all this being Battery Powered or operating from a Solar panel for independence. Let’s see if the explanations of the founder, can help you understand why is…
Putting in contact the wireless world of the mesh networks with the world of Arduino allows the developers to create new and interesting applications, particularly in the field of domotics. To reach the objective, we created a dedicated shield (called RFTide shield), purposely made to manage the basic RFTide modules with Arduino in an easy…
We’ll show you today how to use the WiFi shield and its libraries to turn Arduino into a Web Server; in addition, we are going to use the I/O Expander shield to provide more input and outputs to the platform. We will describe how to handle the specific library to use the WiFi shield as a WEB client for a public website that will collect data coming…
This project is seriously amazing: easy, appealing, playful and opensource. Look into the video to get a glance of the potential! Know how to play video games? Like music? You’ll love the Lo-Fi SES (Sound Entertainment System). It’s an instrument that makes it easy to rock out as a chiptune artist. The Lo-Fi SES is…
Today we’ll show you how to feed a whole Arduino system from a battery, optimizing energy consumption to ensure that the batteries would provide power to the complete system for few years. Perhaps, the only shortcoming of Arduino is that there aren’t any sophisticated tools in case you want to use a battery power supply….
Unfortunately, in this case we’re not talking about an open source project. Despite that, it may be useful to some of you experimenting with Arduino: BLEasy is a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) bridge for your Arduino System. It contains two type of modules which work together when pairing up. BLEasy Host connects to the Arduino main…
This is an amazing prject: look at the video because it’s hilarious. What are RGB LED Shades? They’re programmable shutter shade sunglasses with an array of 68 full-color LED pixels on the front. The LEDs can show different colors by mixing levels of Red, Green, and Blue…just like the screen you’re using to read this….
Super cool project from kickstarter: a pocket sized stackable Arduino compatible board: according to the team also, “MangoCube is Open source project and files will be available on github after project completion.” MangoCube is pocket sized, Arduino compatible, stackable header friendly, ATmega32U4 board in cool colourful case. To make MangoCube, we have specifically developed an Arduino Compatible…
Crowdsupply is generally a good place to spot cool open source projects looking for funding: Tah is an Open source, Arduino-compatible Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) platform for use as a beacon, microcontroller, and HID device. With the power and flexibility of Tah, it’s now easier than ever to connect your smart devices to everything around you!…
Finally, Arduino Branded 3Dprinter debuted: the printer is available these days at Rome Maker Faire for you to check! The printer has been developed together with another Italian company, Sharebot: Italy is betting hard on makers! After the sneak peak of some days ago, we are happy to officially announce the Arduino 3d printer . Completely open source…
The 3-4-5 October 2014, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, will host the second annual Maker Faire Rome, the largest European exhibition of Innovation, where thousands of visitors and makers are expected from all over Europe. On this occasion Open-Electronics and Futura Group will present RandA! What is RandA? RaspberryPi and Arduino are…
