Recently while on vacation, we realized the lack of connection with our pet Beagle. After some research, we found products that featured a static camera that allowed one to monitor and communicate with one’s pet. These systems had certain benefits but lacked versatility. For example, each room required a unit to keep track…
Build your own mini drawing bot! It’s a CNC-like machine that prints on paper what you draw on your smartphone. It’s an easy-to-make open source project which uses very cheap hardware. What are you waiting for? Give it a look! More info
In this project, you’ll build a sensor monitoring system using a TTGO LoRa32 SX1276 OLED board that sends temperature, humidity and pressure readings via LoRa radio to an ESP32 LoRa receiver. The receiver displays the latest sensor readings on a web server. More info Buy your TTGO from OpenStore Did…
You can now securely connect Alexa to your Arduino IoT Cloud projects with no additional coding required. You could use Alexa to turn on the lights in the living room, check the temperature in the bedroom, start the coffee machine, check on your plants, find out if your dog is sleeping in the doghouse… the only…
We make a NeoPixel light installations using Fishino and NodeMCU, controlled via Wi-Fi from PC or Raspberry Pi through a Python library. A few years ago, the American Adafruit Industries revolutionized the LED market by introducing its NeoPixels, whose main feature is to integrate, in a single package, an RGB LED and its controller….
Let’s make a Dashboard for the gateway Antennino network, using open-source software that allows us to implement a control panel for our wireless devices. We left, at the end of the first episode after describing the hardware of the new Gateway for Antenninos, based on the powerful NodeMCU ESP 32, and introducing the…
A new application of the Antennino board that realizes a gateway using open-source software, which allows us to realize a control panel (Dashboard) for our wireless devices. We have introduced you, in issue no. 225, to our Arduino IoT version with a wireless connection, not surprisingly named Antennino; this board can operate, depending…
Let’s switch on the house lights using voice commands given through Google Assistant and the ESP demoboard for WiFi connection. Google is one of the most innovative companies in the IT sector and it’s testified by the exorbitant number of users who use its services: from the most widely used search engine to the…
China’s BeiDou satellite positioning system has overtaken its U.S. rival in size, a shift with potentially huge implications for both high-tech industry and national security. The U.S. has long been the world leader in satellite-based positioning with its Global Positioning System. China by contrast did not put itself on the map until relatively recently, launching its…
Let’s complete the description of the modular development system dedicated to connectivity and IoT, deepening the discussion of the dedicated framework. Second Episode. In the article published in the previous issue, we introduced the Mercury System, an innovative development system, particularly suitable for IoT and connectivity-oriented applications. At that time we focused on…
Today we closed the acquisition of Rigado’s Bluetooth module business in an asset purchase agreement. Rigado is a leading provider of Edge-as-a-Service gateway solutions for Commercial IoT, and began offering certified wireless modules in 2015. As of today we will offer an extended range of products in the area of Bluetooth® low energy,…
