The idea Ardusumo is a universal platform to build robots on wheels that can move around avoiding obstacles using infrared sensors and follow routes marked with dark lines on a white background. We have created Ardusumo to bring young students to the world of robotics: if suitably programmed, Ardusumo allows robots to perform various…
Amazing news for geeks as this week Ford launched it’s OpenXC SDK to create applications using car data. The kit has been developed thanks to the collaboration between the automotive giant and Buglabs, an ultra innovative company specialized in tools for open innovation in Internet of Things thanks to products like the Swarm platform. The Open XC,…
Let’s put together a pixel strip with an HL1606, an Arduino UNO and the Spectrum Shield to build a seven bands “large” Spectrum Analyzer of simple construction. [iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/bVw02EXmmdo?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] The components The Strip used uses the HL1606 controller to allow direct management of each of the LEDs. The chip runs two…
. The objective of this project is to build an Arduino voice shield to empower thousands of voice related applications! All this mostly thanks to an integrated ISD1790PY chip. This particular voice/TTS feature can be useful to integrate voice messages in alarm systems, to implement generic I/O controls in home automation or even in home…
. [iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/JMModx0y5g4?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] This shield allows to connect an Arduino with DMX equipment. It implements the RS485 interface to adapt the electrical levels needed for DMX connection. This shield has been designed with flexibility in mind and allows the user to choose between several Arduino pins for digital input and output of…
In this post we present the design of a scale that connects to the Internet and automatically sends weight info on a Google Document. The project is composed of Arduino Uno board Wi-Fi shield additional shield that we used to manage data collection and I/O with a clear and comfortable and clear LCD display Velleman scale…
After a long wait, Arduino DUE is available for 39 Euro plus taxes: an aggressive price for ambitious makers. The key factor for Arduino success has been the ease of use and a very smooth learning curve. Thanks to its basic set of functionalities, a clear hardware design and the multiplatform Integrated Development Environment (IDE),…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/jtB6e36J7w4?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] We create a lamp controlled by SMS using a GSM shield, a RGB shield and a Arduino UNO. Due to the simplicity of these boards, simply plug one over the other and connect a strip led to have a lighting effect. Then sending normal text messages from any…
Shield for Arduino designed and based on the module GSM/GPRS SIM900 or the GSM/GPRS & GPS module SIM908, to make calls, voice and data connections via GPRS. HARDWARE INNOVATIONS This new version (old Arduino GSM shield) has several new hardware features, that allow maximum customization and provide many configurations. We begin with the…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/11ydTnaXueA?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] The idea behind this post is to bring together some robot designs and trasform them in a new device with new hardware and standard software (arduino of course) and so easier to use. These robots have three things in common: a mechanical structure, the hardware and the software. While the…
There are many CAD developed to assist the electronic designers during drawing of PCBs and schematics; often they are integrated in complete suite to project, simulate and realize a whole electronic system. Besides the many commercial versions, there are also free CADs available. Today we’d like to analyze one of the most diffused and known…
Economical alternative to original Arduino ethernet shields, allows data rates up to 10 Mbps and is achieved with a traditional assembly components. One of the most interesting shield that you can mount on the Arduino platform is certainly the ethernet shield, because enable numerous networking applications such as remote control of systems and users, web…
