A-Team Ventures, a South Korean creative venture company, has launched Waggle, a remote control for 3D printers that is compatible with many kinds of 3D printer, old and new. Anyone who currently owns a 3D printer and would like to control it wirelessly may be interested in Waggle, which not only adds wireless control capabilities…
How many people have the original Game Boy yet, in a drawer somewhere? I’m one of them, I still have my perfectly good and unused Game Boy. Someone else decided to give a new life to his Nintendo by turning it to a remote drone controller. Piloting unmanned aircraft with a Game Boy is not…
A new useful and intuitive Android app to easy manage our TDG133 GSM remote control. In this blog we often use the SIM900 GSM module for remote control applications, like the TDG133 (2 IN / 2 OUT) , TDG134 (Gate opener), TDG139 (Temperature control) and TDG140 (2 IN / 2 OUT with DTMF) remote controls. They are home automation devices that…
We will equip Arduino with wireless connectivity basing on MRF24J4 module by Microchip. As a sample application, we will remotely control a relay, operated by a floating input, and we will virtualize the Arduino USB serial port. The MRF24J40MA radio module is manufactured by Microchip, that also provides useful and complete software libraries…
Here we present a small, low cost single channel receiver, encoding MM53200 and HT-12, with code self-learning function. Decoding is achieved by means of a PIC microcontroller by Microchip, that deals even to the memorization of 5 codes and governs the relay output as well. Features – Number of outputs: 1 – Output:…
We’ll show you today how, with just a few modifications, we can apply the GSM/GPS shield management library to the Arduino compliant TiDiGino open source remote control, so you can manage optimally the capabilities of the SIM900 mounted on it to implement cellular connectivity. As you may know already, TiDiGino is the development and prototyping…
Today we’ll explain how to exploit the potential of Arduino as a programmable logic controller, connecting it to appropriate interfaces for I/O. The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) has been and still is the basic component of the industrial automation world. The Industrial application made the PLC systems being very expensive, both to buy and repair,…
Since when white light emitting high brightness LED are available, the handover from traditional lighting bulbs to the solid-state lighting has become irreversible: LEDs have an efficiency (expressed in lumens/watt) higher than that of almost all the traditional lamps (except, at the moment, the large sodium vapor lamps used for street lighting, unusable in closed…
Single and double channel 433.92 MHz Receivers able to be matched to a maximum of 10 transmitter each. Monostable or bistable. Specifications – Number of outputs: 1-2 – Output Mode: Monostable, Bistable – Power supply: 12 V DC – Power consumption: 40 mA max. – Memory: 10 codes per channel – Encryption: MM53200/HT-12 …
Today we’ll expand Arduino’s digital resources thanks to an I2C bus equipped shield and we’ll allow the management of the board via a bluetooth connection RN-42 through an Android systems. All Arduino boards feature a number of digital I/Os. For the simplest projects, such resources are usually more than sufficient, but in those where they…
With this short guide we release today, we will explain you how to use your Arduino Yun to do something that was never accomplished before with a board of such family. We’ll face a real embedded project, with its set of sensors and management and control applications. Thanks to our experiment shield (more info), you’ll manage…
Let’s capitalize on the Yun Arduino new features to create an electronic “guard dog”, which allows you to watch your stuff, a hidden corner of the backyard or our car silently laying in the garden. Here we wanted to face a small project, but one you would not be able to do with old Arduino…
