In a previous post, you had the opportunity to discover a new Shield for Arduino, based on Semtech’s SX1278 chip that, in view of a very limited price, allows the implementation of a radio communication for a wide range of applications: from the transmission of digital signals in OOK or FSK mode, to the…
Let’s substitute our 3D printer’s command panel with a dot-matrix that enables the display of graphics, function icons and animations. We would like to remind you that our 3Drag printer (that prints plastic items of the size of 200x200x200 mm) may be supplied with a command panel, so to locally manage the printing…
Let’s create a multi-function LED lamp, always connected via wireless, thanks to Arietta G25. Since several years already, it is possible to find systems for home automation: irrigation, doors and windows, lighting, air conditioning and alarm systems, everything can be centralized and planned. Recently, the classical control boxes have been replaced by smart…
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 experiment and prototype applications via the wireless board based on the ESP8266 module. Let’s get back to the discussion of the ESP8266 chip, in which we described the new Fishino board, whose major elements are the ATmega328 microcontroller and the ESP03 module, the latter being based right upon an ESP8266 chip. In…
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…
Based on RandA, this machine can prepare cocktails, by drawing the quantities from dedicated dispensers, according to recipes dowloaded from the webpage from which the drink has been requested. Learn more in this first post. If one has the possibility to relax and maybe doesn’t have to get behind the wheel for a while, the…
This project presents a universal infrared remote control that can also be managed via Internet, based on RandA (supplied with a dedicated shield) and on Raspberry Pi2. Despite the fact that still only a few people take advantage of the “smart” revolution in home automation (intended as a complete and integrated automation and computerization…
Do you like experimenting with many stepper motors and RC servo actuators at the same time, but do you find it hard to manage it easily due to the numerous cable connections that create a sort of jungle on your desk? Fear no more. We have a solution that will make your life a lot…
Finally, the board you have always dreamt of, but have always been afraid to ask for! This development board merges three different worlds: pure OS, microcontroller, and FPGA. For the first time, the best of these three technologies can be found in a single board, and can work together for an improved programming experience. The…
Today we present the first steps with the NUCLEO development boards, produced by STMicroelectronics, that can help us to move towards the ARM 32-bit world with simplicity and great performances , keeping a compatibility with Arduino expansion connectors so that we can use its commonly available shields. The success of Arduino and its…
Let’s do some preliminary work with the board that bridges Arduino and Raspberry Pi: before getting into complex applications we’ll play by using cheap and available hardware components. RandA is a board that allows Arduino and Raspberry Pi to cooperate: it can be mounted on the latter and opens up a world…
