A Nixie tube is an electronic device for displaying numerals or other information using glow discharge. Now one guy funded his project to develop a Nixie Tubes + Arduino Shield on Kickstarter! Nixie Tubes + Arduino Shield I want to bring the world of Nixie Tubes to as many enthusiasts and hobbyists as possible. The added bonus of being able to connect this…
Flutter is a wireless electronics development platform based on Arduino. With over half a mile of usable range, a powerful ARM processor, and integrated encryption, Flutter makes it easy for you to build projects that communicate across the house, across the neighborhood, and beyond. Whether you want to check the temperature of a beer-brewing setup,…
In this post we will deal with an interesting solution to overlat text on a video signal. This solution, which uses the LM1881 integrated, has a lot of use cases accompanied by variable software challenges. For this reason this post is a kind of tutorial, presenting no vertical solution, but instead providing an overview…
SparqEE is a Cellular development board that gives you Wireless Worldwide. It provides boards for both, Arduino and Raspberry! Important Facts: The CELLv1.0 uses a 2G+3G chipset, which means it will use 3G primarily worldwide and only fall back to 2G if 3G is unavailable. Question: Why are 2G (GSM/GPRS) devices less expensive? Answer: some…
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…
Make recently published a link to this amazing project from Seedstudio 🙂 What do you get when you add a touchscreen shield and a GPRS shield to an Arduino Uno? A phone! Seeed Studio created a Arduino phone intstructable to help you put the parts together. You can download the circuit board designs and Arduino library from their github repository, as well as…
Once again we have prepared some examples related to the GSM/GPRS & GPS shield. In previous posts we have seen how to handle SMS, make calls and use the GPRS connection to send email or download data from Internet pages. The shield has been developed to accommodate both forms of SIMComs: SIM900 and SIM908: the…
The amazing Jeremy Blum, (see his previously released Oped – Re-Making Education on Open Electronics) released his book on Arduino. Can’t Miss! Exploring Arduino uses the popular Arduino microcontroller platform as an instrument to teach topics in electrical engineering, programming, and human-computer interaction. The book shares best practices in programming and design that you can apply…
[youtube id=”5H85RDA5HEw” width=”620″ height=”360″] Andrew O’Malley, an amazingly creative maker, created this fanstastic Open Source Arduino-based clock that can display the time in many different ways: if not enough, one can also add his own personal animation. Andrew’s idea Compared to other clocks based on Arduino, this one has two distinctive features: a single…
Let’s expand RaspberryPi functionalities with a shield that is compatible with the Arduino pinout and with an onboard analog to digital converter with 16-bit resolution. Further expansions that we will present in the future will allow you to add a DAC, a number of additional digital I/Os and the ability to connect also with non…
After having shown several examples regarding the use the GSM/GPRS & GPS shield with calls and text messages we are now going to present some applications that involve GPRS data. Thanks to the inet.h class the shield can indeed connect to the internet and its various applications. We ‘ll see how to use the Arduino as…
This post is one in a series showing you the main features of the GSM /GPRS/GPS shield and of its related library. The examples are great to have inspiration and reuse the material to create your own solutions. We already talked about how to use the shield to make calls, send DTMF tones and…
