As Peter Balch explains, COVID-19 can sometimes give rise to cardiac complications. So, while not presented as an actual piece of medical equipment, he decided to construct an ECG (electrocardiogram) unit using an Arduino Nano for control along with an integrated 320×240 SPI display. His battery-operated device features an AD8232 heart rate monitor module to…
Connected to the USB port of a computer, it allows you to simultaneously control four dual-channel infrared receivers of the POWER FUNCTIONS LEGO® series through simple serial commands. A few years ago LEGO®, manufacturer of the most famous brick in the world, introduced a system to make the most important sets dynamic through a very…
We ensure social distancing with an audible and visual beacon that alerts you when you’re getting too close to a store counter, kiosk or counter. Since the “restart” after COVID-19 and the various Phase 2, Phase 3 and who knows what else, the expression “social distancing” has entered the common language and also our life…
Let’s combine the Fishino UNO power with the convenience of Google Home voice assistants, so that we can forget about the remote control and manage various devices with simple phrases. With this project, we are going to exploit the new technological ecosystems that are populating our homes: the voice assistants. In particular, we will see…
Disinfects masks and objects by exposing them to ultraviolet rays generated by innovative UVC LEDs, protecting them from viruses and bacteria. In all situations where it is necessary to sanitize, sterilize and otherwise disinfect objects potentially depository of infectious particles (viruses, bacteria, etc..) we make use of medical and surgical tools and equipment that…
The sensors and electronics needed to measure the weight of objects in many areas, from electronic scales to industrial weighers. When we talk about measuring the weight of an object, we mean the detection of the force it exerts on the detection system, whatever it is, due to the effect of earth’s gravity (force of…
We build a Fishino-powered weather station that allows you to collect data from sensors, view them in real-time, send push notifications and save data at regular intervals. We cannot deny that the occurrence of extreme weather phenomena in areas of the Planet where they have never occurred is due to climate change, partly attributable to…
Let’s build the Dashboard to optimally manage our network of IoT Antennino devices connected through the dedicated Gateway module. After having described the hardware gateway for the Antennino modules and having combined it with a Dashboard based on the ThingsBoard software ideally, with which to govern a network for the IoT, in this article we…
Self-learning UHF receiver consisting of a radio receiver board with Motorola decoding and a module equipped with 8 relays operating in impulse or bistable mode. In many home automation applications and in general where it is necessary to exercise remote control by radio of multiple devices installed in the same place, the classic single…
The Raspberry Pi Foundation launch the new MCU board called Raspberry Pi Pico powered by a dual-core Cortex-M0+. Raspberry Pi Pico is a tiny, fast, and versatile board built using RP2040, a brand new microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the UK. Designed by Raspberry Pi, RP2040 features a dual-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor…
Industrial-grade solution based on Raspberry Pi, open source software and optimized hardware is set to disrupt the IIoT Sfera Labs, serving the IIoT with open source solutions, is pleased to announce the introduction of the Iono Pi Max, an industrial-grade server with integrated PLC functionality and advanced power management. The integration of a server and…
Bench instrument capable of generating sine, square, rectangular, triangular and sawtooth waves. It works at a frequency between 50 Hz and over 5 kHz and is based on the ICL8038, a chip capable of performing all tasks requiring very few external components. On the electronic workbench, in addition to the tester and a…
