I love to integrate devices which are not supposed to be integrated and this guide shows you how you can control an Android mobile using Apple’s Remote. (Who said Apple devices work only with Apple products 😉 ) Also this is my entry to the Sparkfun microcontroller context. If you like this guide, please do […]

A couple of years I embarked on my own home automation project. It started off by building a server controlled 433 MHz transmitter build with an Arduino to switch lots of cheap PT2262 based remote switches. Later I added an Arduino based receiver for my weather station, hooked up the control contact of my EV

This example is designed to be used with a Processing sketch. Processing is an open source programming environment. The application on the computer reads the sensors on the Esplora board and controls the buzzer and the RGB LED through a graphical interface. The image in the Processing application mirrors the Esplora board, so you’ll see

This project is to replace the conventional remote control for all the home appliances like AC, TV, DVD players, music system, SMART appliances !!! Making a whole junk of remote littering around, making us puzzle!!! This project will save us from the junk to remotes by replacing all by ONE REMOTE! 2 part of this project: DECODING

In this circuit we use the output signal from a standard IR receiver (IC1 in the schematic of Figure 1) to drive a miniature loudspeaker. The IR receiver from Vishay used here is available for various frequencies ranging from 30 to 56 kHz. A large number of IR remote controls operate according to the so-called RC5 protocol that

Many years back when I was still quite heavily involved in the day-to-day company IT matters, we need to subscribe to a service called “Smart Finger” when we put our servers in a datacenter. Basically what this service is all about is to allow datacenter technician to help us to press the power or reset

The big problem using the ESPs is the power consumption when Wifi “goes up”, about 100-200mA, peak up to 300mA. Normal coincells deliver a few mA, peak up to 20-40mA. But for the ESPs the voltage will collapse. We need “a little help of my friend”: the supercap. These capacitors deliver enough current for power

The official Arduino development team has this week announced a new enterprise service in the form of the Arduino Cloud for Business. Offering unique benefits for companies and industrial clients looking for ways to utilise enhanced features in terms of device management, fleet management, secure and safe remote access and RBAC to name a few. The new Arduino

Who would have thought that just about every Arduino attachment can be controlled in some way with a TV remote? Now its time to find out how. Arduino.skp141 KB Step 1: Setup and Materials The setup for this is quite basic. The real challenge is finding neat products for this and writing the code. Materials.

The official Arduino development team have this week introduced their very first micro PLC with Industrial IoT capabilities in the form of Opta. Designed to provide users with a secure and easy-to-use micro PLC the Opta supports Arduino programming and optional PLC standard languages. Powered by a powerful STM32H747XI dual-core Cortex-M7 +M4 MCU the Opta enables “real-time control, monitoring
