First you have to decide you just want to make it work, for testing purposes, like on a breadboard, or make it as a final device. The difference is that if you want to use it on the go, I heavily suggest to include the isolated optocoupler and DC converter. If you wish to skip…
https://youtu.be/3LkKYtQqzKo Sometimes clocks lose their time and you have to set up it again. If you don’t want to get bored any more make your own digital clock! It uses a wemos D1 board which gets data from an ntp(network time protocol) server and shows time on an OLED lcd. Don’t miss it! …
Since I am a man of science and I like data to know if something is actually working, I wanted to put my knowledge of IoT and electronics to good use and create an IoT Terrarium monitor. The plan was to build a sensor based system that could monitor temperature, humidity, and soil moisture from a simple yet…
Using Python and open source software we publish data from a sensor over MQTT, persist the data and visualise it in real-time. More info Buy Raspberry Pi and Fishino boards from our store!
Made of interlocking plexiglass, it is illuminated by a Neopixel strip operated by Fishino Guppy that we control with a smartphone via a Telegram bot. This year the Christmas tree lights are controlled with Telegram! In this slogan, we could summarize the project described in these pages, which like every year is on a Christmas…
YouTuber MrTeslonian created an automatic fishing pole for someone with a serious disability. While this would seem like a daunting task, he was able to build one using a spring-loaded mechanism, a number of motors, and an Arduino board. His portable device takes commands over WiFi, allowing control from a smartphone or computer. When…
Every year at Christmas time the LED’s start to shine. Since I’m like a moth around flashy lights, I have been doing a version of this project every year since I got my first Arduino. This year it’s going to be an LED Strip frame for the front window. There are two versions, this…
In this project, you’ll build a sensor monitoring system using a TTGO LoRa32 SX1276 OLED board that sends temperature, humidity and pressure readings via LoRa radio to an ESP32 LoRa receiver. The receiver displays the latest sensor readings on a web server. More info Buy your TTGO from OpenStore Did…
We make a NeoPixel light installations using Fishino and NodeMCU, controlled via Wi-Fi from PC or Raspberry Pi through a Python library. A few years ago, the American Adafruit Industries revolutionized the LED market by introducing its NeoPixels, whose main feature is to integrate, in a single package, an RGB LED and its controller….
Fishmograph allows to precisely monitor earthquakes involving our house using the D7S sensor, sending us an email notification for every event detected, allowing us to take people and things to safety. Italy is one of the Mediterranean countries with the highest seismic risk and this very unfavourable record is due to its geographic…
In the previous episode, we have described the library and the functions made available by it. Now we will introduce a series of sketches through which you will see in practice how the library works and it’s potential. The sketches will implement functions such as receiving or sending SMS, voice calls, managing certain generic…
Let’s discover a useful library to manage various low-cost GSM/GPRS modules, in order to provide cellular connectivity to our Arduino projects. Second part. In the previous episode, we introduced the shield hardware and exposed the technical features and possible applications, as well as mentioned the library for Arduino, here we complete the previous speech…
