A single AA battery is used to provide 5V or 3.3V (or other voltages by tuning the feedback resistors). A boost regulator provides the “over”voltage. At 5 V, 200 mA output, BooSTick can handle even the biggest Arduinos. Even if you’re sloppy with power management in your code and you use a power hungry shield,…
LattePanda is featured with quad-core 1.8Ghz, 2/4G RAM, 32/64 GB eMMC, WIFI, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB 3.0, plus onboard Arduino processor. LattePanda comes pre-installed with a full edition of Windows 10, including powerful tools such as Visual Studio, NodeJS, Java, Processing, and more! The project has been successfully funded on Kickstarter gathering more than £442K…
Wearables are one of the main technological trends nowadays and we were wondering when someone would have proposed a solution for our beloved pets. Our friend Jared Marmen from Baltimore, founder of Barttron Inc. published a really interesting project on Kickstarter! Chord is a smart collar for dogs and cats that allows you to create…
With this project we’ll show a practical application of our Fishino board that allows a very simple and cheap way to control remote appliances as lamps, heaters, climatizers, alarms, etc. The peculiarity of our system is that it doesn’t need any external support server nor special network interface boards, but just a Fishino UNO…
In this second “episode” (here the first one), we will go deeply inside Fishino features, showing the main libraries and code sketches. In the last post we have presented the Fishino UNO board, compatible with Arduino UNO but offering WiFi connectivity, a microSD slot and a built-in RTC. In this second post we begin describing…
Fascinating history of wireless communications, with lots of info and schematics to try reating your DIY wireless communication system on Ashish’s Programming Journal: In this modern age of high tech gadgets, it is easy to take the technology around us for granted. If we look at the world around us as if we have never…
The first device that combines a development and prototyping board with a smart tv box. Its features: dual boot: Android & Ubuntu, with the possibility to install a light OS as well. Octa Core CPU: The RK3368 is an Octa Core 64bit, ARM Cortex-A53 processor with PowerVR G6110 graphics chip, 28nm processing design, Support OPENGL ES…
Wireless, Credit-Card sized, Android + Linux + Arduino™, Embedded Sensors, starting from $49. What else? UDOO launched a successful fundraising campaign on Kickstarter and so the company managed to launch the commercial version. Here on the official Kickstarter page you can purchase it. Most interesting, a series of customisations proposed by the team to…
The famous IoT modules, Arduino compatible, made by Samsung are finally going beta! From easy prototyping to more advanced design, ARTIK modules come with built-in connectivity and an open software environment. Let us take care of the hard work and you focus on creating new products and services. There are three versions available: ARTIK 1…
Thinking about using Arduino to automate your home? Do it easily with this compatible board! The Automation Board is 100% compatible with the Arduino Uno. Thanks to a power source soldered onto the board itself, it is supplied directly from the electrical grid with voltages between 100 to 240VAC and 50 or 60Hz making it…
One of the strongest trend we have seen this year at CES2015 is, as you can imagine easily, the IoT (Internet of Things) development. Consequently, the most important component needed is the “connection and communication” module that enables the remote interaction between the device and “the community” via internet. Here we will sum up the…
We’ll show you today how to use the WiFi shield and its libraries to turn Arduino into a Web Server; in addition, we are going to use the I/O Expander shield to provide more input and outputs to the platform. We will describe how to handle the specific library to use the WiFi shield as a WEB client for a public website that will collect data coming…
