With this project we’ll show a practical application of our Fishino board that allows a very simple and cheap way to control remote appliances as lamps, heaters, climatizers, alarms, etc. The peculiarity of our system is that it doesn’t need any external support server nor special network interface boards, but just a Fishino UNO…
In this second and final post we will go deep inside the Ethernet audio streaming transceiver firmware. Recently, we have presented an Ethernet audio streaming unit. In particular, we have shown how to configure the boards to work with other similar devices or with VLC Media Player, setting up a point-to-point or a broadcast…
In this second “episode” (here the first one), we will go deeply inside Fishino features, showing the main libraries and code sketches. In the last post we have presented the Fishino UNO board, compatible with Arduino UNO but offering WiFi connectivity, a microSD slot and a built-in RTC. In this second post we begin describing…
When the standard model is not enough, you can “stretch” the printer to print objects up to 400x200x200 millimeters. Here’s how to make the change. To print great objects, you need a great printer -and our 3Drag is great- but if you want to print three-dimensional objects that are oversize, then you need…
Let’s experiment with the Virtual Shield tool for Arduino, found in the last Microsoft operating system, for the purpose of creating a smartphone based geo-fence application, that would activate a relay when the phone is found inside a certain area. In the two previous installments we introduced you to the projects connected with Microsoft’s…
Over the years we presented several projects to celebrate Christmas. it is time to present those who have had the greatest success. 1°: Spherebot Reloaded: Customize Your Xmas Let’s create a plotter to decorate Christmas Tree balls with writing and drawings. Christmas is coming you dusted off your xmas tree and decorated it: everybody…
Let’s experiment with the embedded version of Microsoft operating system, by installing it on Raspberry Pi, and by building our first applications. In our previous installment we could see some of the movements that are putting Microsoft in contact with the open source world, and we anticipated the release, by Microsoft, of a…
A light system, capable of simulating the alternation of night and day, that will make your nativity scene – be it a small or a big one – even more realistic. Our circuit is capable of piloting four light loads, corresponding to the daylight, to the brilliance of the stars, to the household hearths,…
What if we have already developed an Arduino application and we want internet connectivity for it? Yun shield is the answer. Yun shield provides Internet connectivity for all Arduino boards. It features the same connectivity functions implemented on Arduino Yun. Yun shield runs the OpenWrt GNU / Linux operating system, specially designed to manage internet…
In this guide, we will describe how the DM Board ICS outputs can be controlled by means of your own voice. Here you can view a demonstration video. Hardware The module EasyVR 3 made by VeeaR is the speech recognition system chosen for this project. The connection of this module to the DM Board…
Let’s equip Arduino with a serial-interface JPEG Camera with IR and try two applications: the first one saves shots (on a SD-card) at regular intervals while the second uses a PIR sensor to detect intrusions and photograph what happens. Recently, miniaturized cameras with serial communication interface have been launched on the market. Compared…
The best result when printing chocolate objects is obtained by cooling quickly the deposited layers, by means of a jet of cold air; here is the device that allows you to do so. Aside from maintaining the chocolate temperature below the specific threshold (necessary to keep the tempering), to get fast and not deformed…
