Luca Dentella posted an example on his blog about creating a full-working dashboard for Arduino (charts and gauges) in Javascript, running entirely in a web browser without the need for a web-server. In this implementation, Luca uses the Arduino connected to an AM2302 sensor (DHT22) to get temperature and humidity values, which are then displayed on the dashboard. … Read More →
Cellular made easy – Add GSM/3G support to your Arduino/Raspberry Pi/BeagleBone projects Chris Higgins at SparqEE has come up with a simple development board[CELLv1.0] that can give your projects cellular capabilities. So what can you actually do with it? Well,I can think of lots of things: Add an off-grid internet connection to your home automation system. … Read More →
This is a quick guide to help people assemble the Arduino CNC Shield.
Having the need to do Arduino Hardware testing I decided to make a shield with a secondary ATMega328 micro-controller and ended up with this shield… Behold, an extendable multi-core Arduino!!!
The following are a few of the shield / boards that are compatible with GRBL. GRBL is G-Code interpreter that is able to run on small Atmel Micro-controllers like the controllers used on Arduino Boards. Using GRBL (software) and these micro-controllers(Hardware) makes it very easy and affordable to build your own Computer Numerated Controlled Machines(CNC) … Read More →
In the first part of this project I described the technical details of the shield After a few weeks of waiting, I have finally receive the first batch of PCB’s I designed and they look fantastic. Here are a few photo’s: So what are the advantages/benefits/pro’s of this little shield? Firstly this shield will protect your Raspberry … Read More →
Igor Ramos has created a cool little Arduino shield that connects up to your mobile phone and listens for Dial-Tones that it can convert to commands. This is useful for making a nice little automated answering machine for your home or shop. If you are even more creative you can program it to switch on … Read More →
