It supports various low-cost GSM/GPRS modules in order to provide cellular connectivity to our Arduino projects. First part. Given the growing demand for electronic equipment with connection to the GSM/GPRS network, we decided to develop a new GSM shield for the Arduino and Raspberry Pi 3 platforms, capable of supporting various modules on…
A new Arduino-like board ready to “devour” the competitors: not surprisingly, it was called Shark. Let’s see how to use it. Second and last episode. Read the first post about Fishino Shark The sea of Fishino, our series of prototyping boards compatible with the Arduino family, has recently completed its population: as we have…
A new Arduino-like board appears on the horizon ready to “devour” the competitors: not surprisingly, it was called Shark! Let’s see its features. First episode. A shark appears in the Fishino sea, whose sharp teeth are its leading characteristic: they allow it to “bite” the applications. Shark, as we called this new board,…
A new library for Fishino boards allows to easily send multi-device push notifications using Pushetta. Let’s try it out with our lightning detector. Since the name launch of the first board from the Fishino series, we have developed and proposed new versions and enhanced the software support, with the addition of firmware features and…
Our Fishino boards are evolving, acquiring new and exciting features and functionalities. The renewal starts with UNO and MEGA. We are now going to explain to you what has changed. In the previous article, we introduced what would become the founder of a series of innovative boards compatible with the famous Arduino: the…
Fishino32 is top of a 32-bit card series based on PIC32MX470F512. It programs exactly like a normal Arduino UNO, through the IDE and with the syntax we are used to. Simply perform a small procedure in the IDE itself, allowing you to activate the development tools for PIC MCU and you’re done. Fishino 32 has 512…
Let’s get familiar with a programming language optimizing how we can write code for our Fishino boards, hosted on the board itself. Programming 32-bit Fishino boards can be an easy and light task by using specific tools and platforms; we have found it out in part one of the stories (published in this year’s…
We introduce a programming language to optimize code for our Fishino boards. Part one. What do squirrels and our appreciated little fishes have in common? Very little apparently, but actually, as you will see by reading this article, they have a lot in common, because the combination of the two “critters” can lead to…
Let’s optimize power consumption for our Arduino-like boards using specific hardware solutions and a dedicated software library. We recently had many requests about solutions to reduce power consumption for our Fishino boards, particularly from those – among the designers – who need to activate them for short periods of time: for instance, in…
Created for the most famous social network, it displays in real-time the number of likes received by the related Facebook profile, through a giant 5-digit display. Since social networks were born, and Facebook in the first place, it became commonplace to express approval for a comment, a photo or a content in general (which…
Just over a year ago we have introduced our first Arduino-like 32-bit board, called Fishino32 which was characterized by the format of the widespread Arduino UNO (but also of the Fishino UNO), although equipped with a 32-bit microcontroller capable of exceptional performances, when compared to the average prototyping board of its kind. We have…
