Let’s discover the programming environment that facilitates interaction between software and electronic devices. Electronics and IT have many things in common, we just need to know that the latter would not exist without the former. So yet, we tend to consider IT as a world apart and for this reason, we often do not…
After adding LinkedIn to our social list, we now present our Telegram channel. When we publish a new project or news on the Open Source world you will receive a notification on the Telegram platform. Enter the channel now.
A flower pot with a technological flowerpot dish that, when a person comes near, produces a colour-changing, rotating light which varies based on the humidity of the ground and therefore on the plant’s need to be watered. How many things can we do with Arduino? Since it first appeared on magazines and on…
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 built a small musical instrument that will delight children and will allow them to play 8 notes and shift their frequency as desired using a potentiometer. Projects like the laser harp published in the previous post have accustomed us to seeing challenging circuits based on synthesizers and microcontrollers to produce musical notes, yet…
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….
Let’s make a Dashboard for the gateway Antennino network, using open-source software that allows us to implement a control panel for our wireless devices. We left, at the end of the first episode after describing the hardware of the new Gateway for Antenninos, based on the powerful NodeMCU ESP 32, and introducing the…
A new application of the Antennino board that realizes a gateway using open-source software, which allows us to realize a control panel (Dashboard) for our wireless devices. We have introduced you, in issue no. 225, to our Arduino IoT version with a wireless connection, not surprisingly named Antennino; this board can operate, depending…
A device that makes Raspberry Pi suitable for industrial environments, an alternative to PLCs for automation control applications. In the 206th issue of Elettronica In, we featured the first device in the Strato Pi line created by Sfera Labs: the Strato Pi Server. This product, designed for industrial environments and based on Raspberry…
Let’s switch on the house lights using voice commands given through Google Assistant and the ESP demoboard for WiFi connection. Google is one of the most innovative companies in the IT sector and it’s testified by the exorbitant number of users who use its services: from the most widely used search engine to the…
A small jewel capable of detecting atmospheric pressure and temperature, designed for the construction of weather stations or applications where it is important to know these parameters, such as air mass meters and altimeters. Let’s try it with Arduino. We know Omron for the many industrial sensors it has produced and continues to…
