The Autonomous Rover travels from one location in my house to another location in my house, with no help from a human. I designed it to experiment in robot autonomy. To perform its task, the AR (short for Autonomous Rover) integrates three major capabilities: Localization — determines its current location in its environment Navigation — determines the…
A beacon will continuous broadcast signals to let other bluetooth devices know the presence of it. And I’ve always wanted to have a bluetooth beacon to track my keys since I’ve already forgot to bring them like 10 times last year. And I happendly got a HM13 dual module. So I think I could…
https://youtu.be/kgY40e9mi8w The Cassette Pi is a self-contained real-time notification scroller, all housed neatly inside a transparent cassette tape. A Raspberry Pi Zero is sandwiched between the two tape reels, retrieving all manner of Internet of Things notifications from the fabulous IFTTT (If This, Then That) service, delivered almost instantly to the Pi via an Adafruit.IO feed and a…
Complete charger in breakout board format based on the integrated BQ76920, capable of managing 3 to 5 cells. The charging of lithium batteries, whether common Li-ion, LiPo or LiFePO4, requires particular precautions that make it more difficult and delicate than it is in accumulators such as lead batteries (for which it is enough…
Design beautiful customizable luminary lanterns for your home or garden. Cut them out on a vinyl cutter or laser cutter, and fill them with light using a Circuit Playground Bluefruit Express and Adafruit’s NeoPixel rings. Add custom color animations and control the lanterns with Adafruit’s BlueFruit app. More info
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,…
