Is a storm on its way? Let’s find out using a circuit based on a sensor to detect electrical shock in the atmosphere capable of letting us know how near and how strong it is. Meteorological centers can monitor, besides atmospheric parameters in order to estimate rain probability and volume, also storms and their…
[bctt tweet=”Using a telegram bot, we are going to print remote messages coming from Telegram with a small thermal printer. ” username=”OpenElectronics”] An extremely versatile solution that can be used for many things: ranging from printing out menus and orders in a restaurant too, why not, sending out love notes to our “Valentine” and…
Using Fishino and Octopus driver, we play a small toy keyboard that will reproduce musical melodies originally born as Nokia ringtones. For many years, electronic keyboards, especially music synthesizers, have had the possibility to play tunes independently, if adequately piloted through the MIDI interface or by reproducing standard format files uploaded from external mass…
Here we take advantage of Telegram bots for the development of a thermostat that may be controlled from a smartphone, by means of simple instant messages. Even though social networks and instant messaging services established themselves and spread rapidly, in the last years, many people do not go any further from Whatsapp and…
Now available in our store the new TFT shield for our Fishino boards but also for Arduino. This is a shield mounting a display with good performances, that we are going to describe in this article. These are the main features: fairly small dimensions (2.4″ o 2.8″ display); resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, with high…
Let’s add a graphic touch display to our Arduino-like boards, with dedicated hardware and three libraries. After showing you four prototyping boards from the Fishino series (UNO, Fishino 32, MEGA, Guppy… and the fifth is on its way!), we started to feel the need to propose some electronics on the side. In particular,…
Our Arduino compatible board Fishino acquires a new functionality, upload and updating of sketches over wireless, without the need of a wired connection. Being able to program the Fishino board on the field, without physically connection to the USB port of a computer nor being limited to the IDE Arduino/Fishino, that was one of…
We are going to create a system managed by a smartphone for controlling home appliances and electric devices through Wi-Fi. Suppose you want to create a system for your home appliances and that you want to create it using a simple solution, a modular solution characterized by a wide array of customization…
Some time ago we had introduced you to the Torpedo switching power supply, a particular kind of DC/DC power supply called SEPIC capable of supplying 5 V from several external supply sources, such as an external voltage between around 3.5 and 20 V, the 5 V coming from a USB connector or the 3…
Our prototyping board acquires a 32-bit processor and sets the bar high, towards demanding applications that may take full advantage of the WiFi support, of the RTC and of the SD-Card, that make Fishino stand out from the common Arduino UNO. Second installment. In a previous post you met our new and powerful…
Our prototyping board acquires a 32-bit processor and sets the bar high, towards demanding applications that may take full advantage of the WiFi support, of the RTC and of the SD-Card, that make Fishino stand out from the common Arduino UNO. First installment. Almost a year ago we presented Fishino UNO, an Arduino-compatible board,…
The Fishino project is constantly evolving to provide always the best IoT development boards you may need. We are doing our best to upgrade our products and to make them easier to buy: from that purpose the collaboration with TME. Now you can choose two different ways to buy your Fishino board: Open-Electronics Store TME…
