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…
This interesting platform called Puck, is built upon the first mbed chip with Bluetooth, created by Nordic Semiconductor. The project is also open-source hardware (MIT licence) and there’s a lot of supporting materials. We make it easy to rapidly prototype and develop Bluetooth LE enabled devices – get up and running in under 10 lines of code,…
An interesting open source tracking device that succeeded to get funded on kickstarter recently. Read the funny story used to present: A few years ago we had a bad ice storm here in Massachusetts and we lost power for several days. Well during the power outage my brother-in-law’s house was robbed and one of the…
Several Technology industry players (Atmel Corporation, Broadcom Corporation, Dell, Intel Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Wind River) created an industry standard for IoT called Open Interconnect. Great news” NEWS HIGHLIGHTS New consortium will seek to define connectivity requirements to ensure the interoperability of billions of devices projected to come online by 20201 – from PCs, smartphones and tablets to home and industrial…
Today we’ll expand Arduino’s digital resources thanks to an I2C bus equipped shield and we’ll allow the management of the board via a bluetooth connection RN-42 through an Android systems. All Arduino boards feature a number of digital I/Os. For the simplest projects, such resources are usually more than sufficient, but in those where they…
An awesome (even if not open source) solutions is debuting on the market: Dweet is like Twitter for Things! Ridiculously simple messaging for the Internet of Things. Fast, free and ridiculously simple— it’s like Twitter for social machines. If your product, device, machine, gadget or thing can connect to the Internet, it can use dweet.io…
Two cool pretty neat learning projects we received via the Submit your news feature! At SuperLab.TV we design and prototype Open-Source Advanced Learning Platforms. Our platforms are intended for Research & Development (R&D) teams, Engineers, Students and Makers to learn how to prototype, integrate and experiment with the latest microcontrollers and sensors. Our platforms are constructed…
Interesting IoT, Smart Home DIY solution that is characterized by ultra low cost modules: We want to build a low-cost, open source wireless data acquisition platform for anyone. The goal is to produce as many as possible boards, to get the cost as low as €5 per Node and €1 per RaspberryPi Expansion Board. We…
So cool, this is a very interesting project and also mentions Open Electronics as a source of knowledge and inspiration: in cities with larger number of cell towers GSM tracking should be accurate to within 100 meters while in rural and remote locations this may rise to up to 10 km( It absolutely depends on…
Since now on, it will be easy to provide your Arduino with Internet connectivity by using this shield. The shield sports a TCP/IP stack manager, in order to free up the Arduino from some basic tasks. It’s also essential to equip the board with a library, that communicates with the TCP/IP manager and makes it…
The link to NavSpark project came from our Submit page and it looks interesting: it’s cheap and well done. Here’s a video: NavSpark is a small, powerful, breadboard-friendly, 32bit development board that is Arduino compatible, with a world class GPS receiver as on-board peripheral, and under $15. There is also NavSpark-BD, a variant model having…
By coupling a standard NMEA GPS receiver and an Arduino board we created a super simple and effective Arduino GPS logger. This device allows you to trace the route taken by a person or vehicle (or any other moving object) by simply doing a periodic caching of location points coming from the GPS unit. As…
