Here comes a new board for prototype creation of connected applications and in IoT: richly equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC and a battery for autonomously operation. It almost sounds like the last name of a noble or Royal family, instead, it identifies the latest board (the name is almost in antithesis with its order…
Thanks to PHP and a temperature sensor, we’ll see how to operate relays and control GPIO pins with a Raspberry Pi. Using AJAX and installing Apache web server on the Pi, this maker is able to control his Christmas lights using any mobile phone, tablet or laptop. All you need is: Hardware requirements Raspberry Pi…
Let’s discover the potential of the instant messaging app, Telegram, by creating a remote control, based on a smartphone and a WiFi powered demoboard. We may say that, when we have our smartphone in our hands, we have a door opened to the world. This is not just because of the global connectivity (mobile…
Let’s create a multi-function LED lamp, always connected via wireless, thanks to Arietta G25. Since several years already, it is possible to find systems for home automation: irrigation, doors and windows, lighting, air conditioning and alarm systems, everything can be centralized and planned. Recently, the classical control boxes have been replaced by smart…
Scientists have come up with a way of connecting to wi-fi that requires even less energy than a Bluetooth connection. It is not an open source technology yet, but a nice promise for the upcoming IoT hyper-connected world! It’s a system called “passive wi-fi,” which aims to consume at least 1,000 less power than typical…
Let’s experiment and prototype applications via the wireless board based on the ESP8266 module. Let’s get back to the discussion of the ESP8266 chip, in which we described the new Fishino board, whose major elements are the ATmega328 microcontroller and the ESP03 module, the latter being based right upon an ESP8266 chip. In…
