Our Fishino boards are evolving, acquiring new and exciting features and functionalities. The renewal starts with UNO and MEGA. We are now going to explain to you what has changed. In the previous article, we introduced what would become the founder of a series of innovative boards compatible with the famous Arduino: the…
The SuperB module is made by Macchina, the company that describes its product as the perfect marriage of two of hardware’s ubiquitous names : the Bee form factor and ESP32. In fact the SuperB module allow you to easily add wireless and Bluetooth connectivity to your project. SuperB marries two of hardware’s ubiquitous names – the “Bee” form factor and…
Anavi Technology has this month launched a new product via the Crowd Supply in the form of the ANAVI Thermometer, an ESP8266-powered, open source, wireless dev board equipped with temperature and humidity sensors, so it can act as a thermostat for home automation. The Anavi Thermometer Development board is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE,…
Olimex has recently launched eduArdu, an open source hardware Arduino compatible board specifically designed for education with plenty of buttons, LEDs, and sensors, as well as tutorials and samples source code to help young and older aspiring makers get started with Arduino programming. An ATMega32U4 AVR microcontroller provides the computing muscle, just like it does…
Make use of an ad hoc module by AMS in order to make a precious Arduino based tool. It will allow analysis of materials, including food and drink, through the spectrum obtained with a light stimulus and a sensor, and shown on the serial monitor. Spectrometry is an analysis technique that enables the identification…
Let’s get familiar with a programming language optimizing how we can write code for our Fishino boards, hosted on the board itself. Programming 32-bit Fishino boards can be an easy and light task by using specific tools and platforms; we have found it out in part one of the stories (published in this year’s…
We introduce a programming language to optimize code for our Fishino boards. Part one. What do squirrels and our appreciated little fishes have in common? Very little apparently, but actually, as you will see by reading this article, they have a lot in common, because the combination of the two “critters” can lead to…
Let’s optimize power consumption for our Arduino-like boards using specific hardware solutions and a dedicated software library. We recently had many requests about solutions to reduce power consumption for our Fishino boards, particularly from those – among the designers – who need to activate them for short periods of time: for instance, in…
Only a few days ago, Arduino announced on his website the availability of the Arduino CLI on both ARM and Intel (x86, x86_64) architectures. This means you can install Arduino CLI on a Raspberry Pi or on your servers, and use it to compile Sketches targeting the board of your choice. The Arduino CLI code repository…
There is a ton of different development boards on the market that will do exactly what you want for any particular project, and come loaded with all of the components necessary to get them up and running. The SAMD HCC Module enables you to create your custom PCBs with a surface-mount microcontroller that comes pre-programmed…
If you are planning your holidays, for sure this project will help you to solve a big deal: watering your plants. Also if you aren’t going on holidays, this system can avoid you to waste time in hand watering. In fact it is designed to take the hassle out of watering, by watering only when…
SmartCash is a cylindrical electromechanical system running on an Arduino Mega which works as a euro coin sorter, storage, counter and change return machine. Its purpose is to make the cash out, from local or small businesses, easier. At the same time it attracts customers in order to try the machine. “SmartCash device allows you…
