Droidles are cute little robots which interact in what the creators call “the worlds largest computer intelligence experiment”. The objective of the project is to build “a distributed multi-swarm of autonomous robots – connected over the internet with a common api “. Pocket sized little Droidles that can wander around, make friends, and learn on their own. Free mobile…
Scratch Duino is a highly customizable, simple and interactive open source robot kit based on magnetic-mount sensors. Despite the beauty of the project, it is probably a bit too ambitious in terms of funding! (around 100k$) If want to play with arduino powered robots on wheels you should look into ArduSumo! WHAT IS THE Scratch Duino…
We’ll show you today how, with just a few modifications, we can apply the GSM/GPS shield management library to the Arduino compliant TiDiGino open source remote control, so you can manage optimally the capabilities of the SIM900 mounted on it to implement cellular connectivity. As you may know already, TiDiGino is the development and prototyping…
With more than 20 days to go, the m!Tone, is going to hit the market. It uses Arduino compatible electronics to that you can hack the system but, unfortunately, it’s not open source in terms of electronics and design. Maybe this be an inspiration for some music hackers! The m!lTone is an open-source synth &…
Today we’ll explain how to exploit the potential of Arduino as a programmable logic controller, connecting it to appropriate interfaces for I/O. The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) has been and still is the basic component of the industrial automation world. The Industrial application made the PLC systems being very expensive, both to buy and repair,…
Our friends at Arduino are launching a new beta program for beta testing recently announced board Arduino Zero.If you want to take part and feel you can spend some time on it, fill this application form by the 17th of August. After the great experience we’ve been having with the beta-testing of the the Arduino…
This cool project to integrate Arduino compatible technology with Power over Ethernet is pretty interesting. Isn’t RS-485 old technology? If by old, you mean “has 3 decades of bullet-proof reliability”, then yes. Despite being invented over 30 years ago, RS-485 has been proven very reliable and is still used globally in industrial automation today. Keep in mind…
[youtube id=”eINAuYg-ftM” width=”620″ height=”360″] This robot will mow the grass of your garden, staying within a defined area, avoiding all obstacles and working in complete autonomy, automatically charging itself with a solar panel. In this post we present a robotic lawn mower, powered with solar energy and able to operate just with the clean energy…
Use Arduino as a Xively HTTP client and interact with the new shield for power management. We already talked about WiFi connectivity for Arduino in other posts, presenting the design of a high performance WiFi shield and explaining how to use it both as a web server, or a web client. The two modes of…
The series of posts devoted to the OpenWheels platform continues with the description of the processes related to the verification and management of the data collected from the sensors through a dedicated telemetry software . At this point in the project, OpenWheels board is widely tested and ready to work with its firmware. It…
You’ll probably remember several projects that tried to extend Arduino use in wireless. Well this project really stands up and got funded indeed. 500 foot range. Make your Arduino project wireless in minutes, with the Open Source Wireless Inventors Shield. No setup needed. 500 foot range. The inventors shield uses a wireless pipe, which is…
A cool kid’s project, looking for funds! Looks like on the way to get funded. Smiley face A low-cost, open-source, Arduino-compatible balancing robot for learning, hacking and delight How it started Last winter, I promised my eight-year-old son to build a little balancing robot that he could program. One thing led to another, and this robot…
