FTDI Chip is using Kickstarter to fund an open source reference design for an Arduino UNO compatible board. The NerO is based on the company’s FT231X USB UART, and delivers 5V at 1A without overheating. It is described as an “Energy Efficient Arduino UNO Compatible Design”. “With NerO we wanted to take a whole new…
Muran is a Jordan maker and a student at University of Tafila, and just released an interesting open electromedical project, HPA. The HPA (Heart Pulse Alarm) is a portable device prototyped to measure the pulse rate and the body temperature of who’s wearing it. If the device receives an unusual heart pulse, it will send…
Clara is a smart lamp able to respond to your brain waves and subtly adjust your environment. The project, running on Arduino Uno, was created by Marcelo Mejía Cobo, Belen Tenorio, and Josh Sucher for a class at the School of Visual Arts in NYC (US). The team worked with the Neurosky MindWave Mobile, a Bluetooth EEG-reading…
It is open source and based upon the ATmega32U4 microcontroller, and provided with drivers for two DC brush motors and a stepper motor. It receives commands via USB or serial ports, or via the I²C bus. For those dealing with robotics, one of the problems to solve is the management of the motors used…
In this project we will do an automatic door lock system using a 4×4 keypad and servo motor controlled by Arduino. Our password: “123”. Materials: Arduino Uno/Mega x1 Breadboard x1 4×4 Keypad x1 Servo Motor x1 Red LED x1 Green LED x1 220 Ohm x2 Jumper Cable Code listing is here, on Arduino Door Lock…
In this project we will make a Servo Motor analog thermometer using a thermistor (NTC: 1Kohm) and controlled by Arduino. You can change the temperature range by yourself. I will use arduino uno in the circuit design program. I use usually arduino mega 2560. You can use other arduino cards. Materials: Arduino Uno / Mega…
Arduino WiFi Shield 101 is available now on store at about $49.90. Nice module very useful for all the IoT developers! If you want more (like an RTC and microSD support) and cheaper, don’t miss our FISHINO board, available here at €29.90! Arduino WiFi Shield 101 is the new IoT enabler shield based on the…
Catching wearable led lights, based on a custom Arduino Uno hardware with an accelerometer to trigger special light effects based on movement. Directly from the product creator, on his Kickstarter campaign: We are giving the community a fair & square open source tool and open source software to explore a new universe of performance microlights….
Ringo project has been funded 400% on Kickstarter already, and still 11 days to go! Ringo is a super cute pet robot bug based on the Arduino UNO and packed with goodies including an accelerometer, gyroscope, 6 awesome RGB LEDs (NeoPixel lights), music chirper, and more. Everything you need to bring to life a real…
