[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…
This shield could be used as a stand-alone transponder key, or with Google’s servers to create a cloud-computing application. It’s time to present you an application with RFID. We want to show you how to use the popular Arduino to produce a device capable of recognizing passive transponder (TAG). But this is not the…
A lot of people who bought the TiDiGino ask me how to test it. The Gsm Remote Control is provided with bootloader, so you have to insert the prefered sketch that you can find in code.google. Daniele Denaro wrote a good sketch for TiDiGino, and I’m reporting his tutorial. Ask me (and him) all do…
[iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/beqdlg89I5o?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] This module integrates the sensor MMA7455L (produced by Freescale), able to detect the movement on three axes, and then in every direction. The chip offers the possibility to select three different sensitivity (± 2g, ± 4g, ± 8g) and makes available, on an SPI bus and the I ²…
The shield most used in practice are those that expand the communication of the Arduino board and in particular those that allow to add a network connection to a TCP / IP. The first shield of this kind were those based on Ethernet technology, which helps the Arduino to connect to a LAN based…
Using an ATmega 2560 and therefore the heart of Arduino, we have developed a universal remote control with GSM. This allows to control 2IN/2OUT, DTMF key, gate control and GSM thermostat activated remotely. We have already presented several remote control with different functions. But now we want to present the best remote control ever…
I love IKEA and her low cost products. Last week I found this STRÅLA lamp. The cost is $4.99, so I bought it. Lighting the lamp I saw that it ‘s very pretty but also … too soft… So I thought to modify the LED and add a RGB led. With simple modify you can obtain a dinamic…
Maybe it’s too late to present an Halloween project with a lot of function, so we decide to develope a simple application to show how controll a mandible of a skull. [iframe_loader src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/jsKBcH7xZBg?hl=it&fs=1″ height=”349″ width=”425″ ] In this project the skull speaks and moves the mandible according to the sound level. An Arduino analyzes the…
This is a very low cost and simple Arduino GSM and GPRS shield. We use the module SIMCom SIM900. It’s the cheaper module now avalaible in the market. The module is not simple to mount by an hobbyst, so we use the Breakboard TDGGSM_900 that we presented in this post. You…
