A small Arduino board with minimal hardware but with access to all I/Os, just like the Nano and equipped with PCB-integrated, direct-insertion USB connector: it is basically an Arduino Pen Drive. Since Arduino had been launched, many derivative products had been “sprouting” on the market, created by numerous companies thanks to the public availability…
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,…
Let’s create an alarm to be notified when doors and windows are open, even from a notable distance, using a modified LoRa TX palmtop. Long-range radiofrequency data communication technology, also known as LoRa, is employed in several fields, from IoT (elective use) to automation, to applications that were based on traditional transceivers. The versatility…
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…
The electronic guardian who watches over our baby’s rest periods and environmental conditions of their room. Sometimes, when “browsing” the web in search of solutions to common problems, we happen to run into projects which are decidedly significant from the point of view of the use of resources, aimed at solving a problem that…
Let’s start using our IoT boards based on Arduino architecture. In our previous posts, we presented Antennino, a special Arduino board with connectivity functionalities, capable of operating in Peripheral or Gateway mode. We stopped at the hardware description and configuration, promising to return to the topic to show you an example of use applicable…
PLC Zero development board of STM32 PLC. With the Speed Plc system, you can turn the STM32F407VGT6 into a plc in a few minutes. All pins are 3.3 v and unprotected. You can use by learning PLC programming or automation project with IO shield board(you must make the IO shield yourself) or…
It allows controlling devices such as lights, motors and even relays from a channel of a radio modelling receiver. The signal and the standard of servo controls were born to guarantee proportional control of utilizers such as electric motors for modelling and radio modelling, in order to set and maintain a well-defined angular position…
Let’s discover how to load the bootloader on our IoT board, so to prepare it for the usage. You learned about Antennino when reading the first part of this article, in which we presented the project and described the hardware, in detail. Let’s resume the discussion from where we stopped, that is to…
Mercury System, the HW/SW development system for IoT and Connectivity applications developed together with our collaborator Francesco Ficili, is now available on OpenStore. The system uses various type of electronic boards (logic unit, modems, slave boards equipped with sensors and actuators, power boards…) and a complete SW framework to allow the realization of IoT and…
