Use Arduino as a Xively HTTP client and interact with the new shield for power management. We already talked about WiFi connectivity for Arduino in other posts, presenting the design of a high performance WiFi shield and explaining how to use it both as a web server, or a web client. The two modes of…
[youtube id=”b18k8dLhr1w” width=”620″ height=”360″] We’re a Finnish start-up company which specializes in active green walls which can purify air 100x better than traditional green walls. Few years ago we were in a need for easy way to get our green walls use GSM network to communicate with our servers. In the very first prototype we…
A lot of people who bought the TiDiGino ask me how to test it. The Gsm Remote Control is provided with bootloader, so you have to insert the prefered sketch that you can find in code.google. Daniele Denaro wrote a good sketch for TiDiGino, and I’m reporting his tutorial. Ask me (and him) all do…
Using an ATmega 2560 and therefore the heart of Arduino, we have developed a universal remote control with GSM. This allows to control 2IN/2OUT, DTMF key, gate control and GSM thermostat activated remotely. We have already presented several remote control with different functions. But now we want to present the best remote control ever…
There are several softwares that enable the publication of the weather data of a professional weather station, but they all work on PC, so we should connect the weather station to a computer and leave it on, the idea is not good because the computer takes up space and consumes a lot. At a…
The Contest is close, visit the TiDiGino page The project TiDiGino We developed a new GSM remote control called TiDiGino. The name recalls the initials (TDGxx) of our previous GSM remote control and is also based on the Arduino project. All the details of this circuit can be found below, but no the sketch, because this is your assignment. The contestYou have to write the…
[singlepic id=199 w=320 h=240 float=center] Equipped with Ethernet interface, Arduino controls a boiler to maintain the set temperature and publish environmental data via Internet on Pachube, and the web interface allows setting the temperature remotely via Internet. [singlepic id=201 w=320 h=240 float=center] The project is designed to control an heating system in order to keep…
Allows to remotely manage the heating or cooling of any room. It can also notify, via SMS or phone call, when the sensed temperature falls out the set limit value or the alarm input is active. In Summer As well as in Winter, it may be a good idea to install at home as well…
The full GSM thermostat is managed by a Microchip PIC18F46K20-I/PT microcontroller, programmed with a firmware that controls the temperature and takes care of the communication with the GSM module which is the component named GSM; this is, in fact the small board hosting the cell, so the pins’ numbers refer to the used pin-strips’ contacts….
For the GSM temperature controller we have provided a double-sided PCB with plated holes, made by photoengraving; once you have the board you can start the assembly with SMD components.
The thermal probe can also be mounted out of the PCB, connecting it somewhere else by means of a three-conductor cable, at least 20 meters long.
Commands can be given in two different ways: the first one is to send the SMS according to required syntax and with the password (if required), needful to avoid strangers to operate the configuration; the second one is to introduce, through Easy Setup, the number of the mobile enabled to make the following settings via…
