It supplies Arduino with the WiFi connectivity and the external memory support on a SD-Card; it is based on a new module that is completely programmable, and offers the best value for money, with a very limited energy consumption that make it ideal for battery applications. It is not the first time that…
Geared with a shield containing an HCS Microchip encoder/receiver module and an I/O Expander I²C-Bus board, it enables the creation of Arduino based remote controls with 8 channels, expandable to 12. The great amount of remotely controlled devices that already are in our houses (and even beyond), made us look at the issue…
Let’s experiment with the Virtual Shield tool for Arduino, found in the last Microsoft operating system, for the purpose of creating a smartphone based geo-fence application, that would activate a relay when the phone is found inside a certain area. In the two previous installments we introduced you to the projects connected with Microsoft’s…
What if we have already developed an Arduino application and we want internet connectivity for it? Yun shield is the answer. Yun shield provides Internet connectivity for all Arduino boards. It features the same connectivity functions implemented on Arduino Yun. Yun shield runs the OpenWrt GNU / Linux operating system, specially designed to manage internet…
We will show here a modern take on the equipment that enabled time travel in Back to the Future. Those who have a few “decades” of ageing on their shoulders should know Back to the Future (but the younger ones as well, since they could know and see it thanks to YouTube streaming),…
Today we present the first steps with the NUCLEO development boards, produced by STMicroelectronics, that can help us to move towards the ARM 32-bit world with simplicity and great performances , keeping a compatibility with Arduino expansion connectors so that we can use its commonly available shields. The success of Arduino and its…
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…
