WakeMeUP
Today I was asked how it could be possible to resume a PC from standby at a given hour… It was enough to connect an Arduino Pro Micro to an RTC module, write some code and the WakeMeUP project was born…
My Ghostbusters collector’s edition
This year is the 30th anniversary of the first Ghostbusters movie (1084). To celebrate the event, Lego is selling – thanks to the Lego Ideas project – SET 21108 that includes the ECTO-1 and four minifigs: I had the idea to create my personal collector’s edition for the blueray (from Amazon) of the two movies using that Lego set: a plexiglass display case with…
SDWebServer – enc28J60 and Arduino (20)
In the previous blog post, you learned how to send big files (html pages, images…) with your ENC28J60 shield. Today I’m going to show you a complete webserver! Description The user’s browser sends a request, through the network, to the ENC28J60 module. The request is analyzed by the sketch that is running on the Arduino, which also prepares the…
BlueMatrix
My latest project is a led matrix display, portable and controlled via Bluetooth from a PC or from an Android smartphone; I named it BlueMatrix. Here’s a short presentation video (non-italian guests: remember to enable english subtitles); in the next pages you’ll find some details about how it was made and how it works:
Yún – Sketch Uploader
One of the most useful features of Arduino Yun is the ability to upload your sketches via network, directly from the IDE (as I explained in a previous tutorial). Arduino’s IDE uses the Bonjour protocol (running on port UDP 5353) to look for Yun boards on your network: this auto-discovery technique works fine in a local area…
RTCSetup
All of you certainly had to configure an RTC chip with the current date and time… today’s project can help to perform that task!
Playing with a led strip…
Led strips have become very common for various uses: from interior and exterior lighting, to decoration… today I’ll explain you which types of strips are available and I’ll show a pratical example for controlling them using Arduino and C#.
OTP door lock
Today I’m going to show you how to make an Arduino door lock that can be opened with an OTP code generated by your smartphone.
Allegro A4988 and Arduino (3)
In the last part of my tutorial about the A4988 driver, I’m going to explain how to build a controller to adjust speed and rotation direction of a stepper motor.
Arduino to C# using socket
When you want to make Arduino “talk” on your network, you usually choose the HTTP protocol, that allows to use a web browser (IE, Firefox…) as a client. Sometimes however you need Arduino to send data to other applications: in this case you can implement a socket connection.
