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…
Sensly is a portable pollution sensor capable of detecting the air pollution levels using its onboard gas sensors to collect information about the various gases present. This information can be fed directly to your smartphone for real time push notification updates. Sensly uses industrial sensors that assure an accurate reading of the office, home, or work…
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…
We are excited to announce the public release of Windows 10 IoT Core for the Raspberry Pi 2 and the MinnowBoard Max. Visit the Windows IoT Dev Center to choose your target board, then walk through the steps to provision your board, acquire the tools, and get started Making. This release of Windows 10 IoT…
This project is so interesting, let’s help them to target the requested funding! Pi Cubes is modular DIY/Hobby HVAC Automation system based on the Raspberry Pi Linux Board. System is designed on the principles that commercial Building/HVAC automation systems are designed, only leveraged down to the Hobby/DIY market. Pi-Cubes provides a complete solution by using…
To celebrate the release of Windows 10 IoT Core Hackster.io and Microsoft offer a worldwide Home Automation contest for developers, hackers, and makers. Home Automation is one of the hottest segments in the Maker world and Windows 10 IoT Core provides a powerful and productive platform for you to build original and innovative Home Automation…
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…
Our friend Franco Lanza is gathering funds to launch a very interesting project. Who knows what a KWM is? Yes, usually are those quite expensive and not very flexible platforms used to virtualize a keyboard, a video and a mouse to remote a computer. Franco is working at a low cost, open source and very…
Windows 10 for IoT is available for Raspberry Pi2 and MinnowBoardMax! Raspberry Pi 2 The Raspberry Pi 2 is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. The Raspberry Pi2 runs Windows 10 IoT Core. Follow this link to start installing it…
The more we go into computing, programming and software dev, the more our room gets messy! That’s why we love the tiny computing solutions so much. We have talked about Raspberry Pi & Co many times here on Open-electronics.org and today we are going to present the Intel version: The Compute Stick, available on Windows…
More and more often we find the opportunity to create Internet-connected projects by ourselves, in that category known as the Internet of Things (IoT), within which you can find smart appliances, home automation systems, medical devices, security systems and many others: a complex world, sharing the ability of being connected to the Internet. The…
