Sometimes you want your creation to look great. That was the case here, as this electromechanical clock integrates several different types of metal along with a chain drive into something that’s as much a work of art as it is a practical timekeeping tool. This clock was designed, machined and assembled, every piece from scratch…
A control unit for the garden sprinkler that can be controlled via web and smartphone thanks to Arduino Yún. With summer approaching, our plants and our gardens need some regular watering in order to stay lush and green as we like them. It’s not easy to always remember to water plants and gardens…
The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) announced they are partnering with Arduino and Sierra Wireless to present a free, one-day workshop for developers of Internet of Things (IoT) products and services. The workshop is targeted at makers, developers, robotics enthusiasts, and others who would like to receive hands-on training with OMA’s Lightweight M2M (LwM2M) protocols. The workshop…
What happens when a creative technologist wants his family to know he’s thinking about them? He creates a project with Arduino Yún! IMissYou is a simple project transforming a picture in a connected object thanks to a capacitive layer made with Bareconductive Paint and inserted behind the photo. The ‘touch’ is detected by the Arduino…
Let’s deal with the problems of the various powering modes for the most famous Arduino boards, in order to overcome doubts users may have and to provide useful advices. When you want to use an Arduino board in stand-alone mode, the first problem to face is the one of how to power it, once…
We are going to build an internet-connected, Arduino-based display, on which we could write directly from a smartphone, by sending the messages over WiFi. In the late 90s of last century LED displays have begun to replace or complement the classic Signs on cinemas and business activities in general. Those displays could be…
Once experimented with REST technology and with the “Bridge” communication mode, we can introduce a project that achieves something difficult so far with an Arduino board: writing a web page, to be run by Linino’s internal web server uHttpd, to manage the pins of Arduino with REST, but via a web page. We will show…
