A new useful and intuitive Android app to easy manage our TDG133 GSM remote control. In this blog we often use the SIM900 GSM module for remote control applications, like the TDG133 (2 IN / 2 OUT) , TDG134 (Gate opener), TDG139 (Temperature control) and TDG140 (2 IN / 2 OUT with DTMF) remote controls. They are home automation devices that…
Let’s equip Arduino with a long-range communication module, and one based on Semtech technology. In this post we had the chance to talk about two technologies that compete for the market of the low-energy, long-range (few kilometers) wireless communication: that is, the SigFox and LoRa technologies. It is now the time to transfer…

A single AA battery is used to provide 5V or 3.3V (or other voltages by tuning the feedback resistors). A boost regulator provides the “over”voltage. At 5 V, 200 mA output, BooSTick can handle even the biggest Arduinos. Even if you’re sloppy with power management in your code and you use a power hungry shield,…
Blynk is a Platform with iOS and Android apps to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi. It’s a digital dashboard where you can build a graphic interface for your project by simply dragging and dropping widgets. Blynk is not tied to some specific board or shield. Instead, it’s supporting hardware of your choice. Whether your Arduino or Raspberry Pi is linked…
Scientists have come up with a way of connecting to wi-fi that requires even less energy than a Bluetooth connection. It is not an open source technology yet, but a nice promise for the upcoming IoT hyper-connected world! It’s a system called “passive wi-fi,” which aims to consume at least 1,000 less power than typical…
