Some months ago we came across the RGB Shield from Open Electronics and our first thought was to use it building some cool stuff with our framework, Souliss. The future of lights goes through LEDs because compared to standard lights they’re tiny, easy to control and consume low power. But what we were missing until…
[youtube id=”85cb6y2vNjE” width=”620″ height=”360″] The invention of the wheel, literally revolutionized the history of man. Thanks to it, it was possible to create forms of transportation, invent new industrial and architectural machinery. The wheel is so perfect that no one would think to improve it but recently some special, revolutionary wheels have been invented. These…
Often, during your first experiences with Arduino, you use the Serial Monitor, a feature available in the IDE, which allows you to display values on the screen. However, if we you want to display values or strings locally on the board, it would be very convenient to have a small display and a few…
IKEA’s Figgjo, is designed to be a mirror, but with a little ‘electronic can becomes fascinating light equipped wall clock. It’s a round mirror, from which twelve evenly spaced rays and this makes it perfect for a clock base. The twelve rays with small round mirrors will be our hours, while the circumference of…
There are many shields available almost for every application. Today we want to show you how to use your Arduino as a wheater station which can be improved, unlike commercial products that cannot be expanded or easily modified. Our shield uses three analog sensors in order to measure enviromental temperature, relative humidity and atmosferic…
. The objective of this project is to build an Arduino voice shield to empower thousands of voice related applications! All this mostly thanks to an integrated ISD1790PY chip. This particular voice/TTS feature can be useful to integrate voice messages in alarm systems, to implement generic I/O controls in home automation or even in home…
. [iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/JMModx0y5g4?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] This shield allows to connect an Arduino with DMX equipment. It implements the RS485 interface to adapt the electrical levels needed for DMX connection. This shield has been designed with flexibility in mind and allows the user to choose between several Arduino pins for digital input and output of…
In this post we present the design of a scale that connects to the Internet and automatically sends weight info on a Google Document. The project is composed of Arduino Uno board Wi-Fi shield additional shield that we used to manage data collection and I/O with a clear and comfortable and clear LCD display Velleman scale…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/jtB6e36J7w4?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] We create a lamp controlled by SMS using a GSM shield, a RGB shield and a Arduino UNO. Due to the simplicity of these boards, simply plug one over the other and connect a strip led to have a lighting effect. Then sending normal text messages from any…
Shield for Arduino designed and based on the module GSM/GPRS SIM900 or the GSM/GPRS & GPS module SIM908, to make calls, voice and data connections via GPRS. HARDWARE INNOVATIONS This new version (old Arduino GSM shield) has several new hardware features, that allow maximum customization and provide many configurations. We begin with the…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/11ydTnaXueA?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] The idea behind this post is to bring together some robot designs and trasform them in a new device with new hardware and standard software (arduino of course) and so easier to use. These robots have three things in common: a mechanical structure, the hardware and the software. While the…
There are many CAD developed to assist the electronic designers during drawing of PCBs and schematics; often they are integrated in complete suite to project, simulate and realize a whole electronic system. Besides the many commercial versions, there are also free CADs available. Today we’d like to analyze one of the most diffused and known…
