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…
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….
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…
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…
[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…
We had a great year here at Open-Electronics.org, we thank you for staying with us! We would like to thank our followers one by one but, hey! You’re too many! Just an hint on the top 20 Countries that are following us: United States 364580 Netherlands 36273 India 172539 Australia 34614 Germany 83416 Indonesia 32716…
Rethinking the popular Arduino: compared with the latter, it adds the implementation of the Fishino architecture, along with WiFi connectivity, a battery charger, etc… As we anticipated in the article in which we presented our Fishino MEGA (a board that is compatible with Arduino MEGA, and that is characterized by a great number…
