With this project we will see how to make a solar powered wireless weather station using an ESP32 WiFi module and some common weather sensors. The weather station is fully solar powered, so you don’t need to worry about external power. It can be installed in a remote location without having to lay long cables…
Our project utilizes two sensors to determine how optimal a plant’s environment is. We will be gauging the moisture in the soil and access to sunlight to output a quantifiable rating of the environment. The output will be in the form of LEDs that light up, where each LED corresponds to each quality, and the…
This is the first generation of my Arduino based mini-weather station with Wi-Fi connection, which is able to post data publicly online using the ThingSpeak platform. The weather station collects the following data related to the weather and environment using different sensors: Temperature Humidity Atmospheric pressure Light intensity UV index Dust concentration The aim is…
AdaFruit’s new PyGamer is a small and powerful entry-level console for DIY gaming and creative development. It allows you to run CircuitPython, MakeCore Arcade, or your own Arduino games. Also, there are tons of games already available for the board to get you started. What really sets PyGamer apart is the fact that the console…
The Seeed Studio Grove Base Kit for Raspberry Pi is a beginners kit for beginners to get started with the Raspberry Pi in a fun and easy way. It has 10 Grove sensors instead of 12 on Seeed’s GrovePi+ Starter Kit, but it also adds three sensors: Mini PIR motion sensor, moisture sensor, and servo….
Sphero, a Colorado-based robotics company is out with a new DIY robotics platform. Called RVR, the robot looks a lot like an RC car, only it’s infinitely hackable and designed to entice coders of all levels to come up with imaginative use cases, a departure in a crowded field of STEAM products aimed solely at…
Aptly named TWIST the open source environmental monitoring system is capable of sending tweets and collecting meteorological data thanks to its include gas, rain, light, temperature and humidity sensors. “Meet Tweeting Weather IoT Station aka TWIST – a DIY, Open-Source Environmental Monitoring and Meteorological Data Acquisition Platform. The purpose of TWIST is so that individuals…
OpenMinder is an open-source DIY project from Autogrow targeted to technology developers and for application with small growers. Released under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license, OpenMinder provides an open-source API used in conjunction with a Raspberry Pi HAT. OpenMinder™ is a product that you can build yourself, but more than that it represents where this…
EveLab 1.0 is an advanced breakout board designed for the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO. It was initially born as a circuit trainer for the University of Guelph students to wire projects with the Pi, so it looks perfect for an educational environment or for learning new skills. The developer has now started selling the hardware, and…
