Replacing the 10/100 Ethernet port with onboard 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth, the popular open source BeagleBone™ Black computer now comes with built-in wireless networking capability. BeagleBone™ Black Wireless was designed with maximum connectivity in mind, trading in the 10/100 Ethernet port from BeagleBone Black for a high-performance 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz WiFi module with…
Introducing ESLOV, a revolutionary plug-and-play IoT invention kit. ESLOV consists of intelligent modules that join together to create projects in minutes with no prior hardware or programming knowledge necessary. Just connect the modules using cables or mounting them on the back of our WiFi and motion hub. When done, plug the hub into your PC. ESLOV’s…
A new version of the Arduino IDE (1.6.12) supporting OSX Sierra is available for download! All OSX users updating to Sierra are invited to also update the IDE to avoid crashes when uploading sketches. This update includes an experimental integration with Arduino Cloud API already used by Arduino Create. The Arduino Cloud is simple tool to…
Back in 2013 Intel announced Galileo, the first of what has become a collection of IoT kits/platforms for hardware developers. Galileo and its compatriots Edison and Curie turned out to be solid hits for the company – even with competing kits already on the market – driving a big part of Intel’s overall IoT growth…
TI released today the first reference project to add WiFi and remote control to the J1772 standard EV recharging stations. The WiFi connectivity will open the market to create more and more applications, from EV Home Automation to EV charging stations geolocalization through apps. The TIDC-EVSE-WIFI verified TI Design details how to implement J1772-compliant…
Google is working on a totally new operating system — and it has nothing to do with Android. A page has surfaced on code-sharing GitHub about the new OS, called — for now, at least — Fuchsia. It’s not based on Android, the Californian technology company’s mobile operating system used in billions of smartphones around…
If you want to learn about saving water, talk to a farmer. California farmers, including myself, voluntarily aim to reduce agricultural water consumption by 25%. This reduction (25% of 42 million acre feet/year) is more than the annual urban water use (8 million acre feet/year), much more effective than any residential water reduction can achieve. The…
This tutorial explains the steps to make an inexpensive LoRa gateway and how I managed to run it. Then I show a complete scenario with nodes, gateways and cloud all together. Finally I will explore the possibility to manufacture a cheaper one. With this tutorial anybody can make a complete LoRa gateway with about 200€…
The Internet of Things is becoming a more ever-present part of our lives. So, it should come as no surprise that something as crucial as temperature monitoring is a part of that. Follow along with this tutorial to learn how to create your own temperature sensor. More importantly, learn how to set up an email…
Argonboards provides complete board and software solutions based on NXP solutions revolutionizing the IOT market. The idea behind Argonboards is to allow companies to quickly evaluate the next generation NXP architectures and build a demo of their end application. This may also lead to the user contracting a tailored production board. They have just released…
The Internet of Things, beacons and The Physical Web are today’s hot topics. Soon we’ll be surrounded by small intelligent sensor nodes that analyze the environment and offer people more content on their smartphones. 12x funded already and still (when i’m writing this post) 10 days to go. Ruuvi, a Finnish company that is developing…
Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) or Low-Power Network (LPN) is a type of wireless telecommunication network designed to allow long range communications at a low bit rate among things (connected objects), such as sensors operated on a battery. Being a communication technology born to satisfy the distributed sensors and IoT devices needs in terms of data…
