Sometimes you need to do two things at once. For example you might want to blink an LED (or some other time-sensitive function) while reading a button press or other input. In this case, you can’t use delay(), or you’d stop everything else the program while the LED blinked. The program might miss the button press […]

In this project we will use an iPhone to control devices connected to an STM32 device. The project is a starting point for more exciting experiments such as remote controlled robots or any other thing you might want to control in your home. I encourage you to check out the source code which is really […]

For my first IoT project I wanted to build a Weather Station and send the data to data.sparkfun.com. Small correction, when I decided to open my account in Sparkfun, they were not accepting more connections, so I choose another IoT data collector thingspeak.com. Continuing… The system will be placed on my balcony and will retrieve temperature, […]

Hi. I’ve just got myself an Arduino Uno R3 and I’m really new in the world of Arduinos. There’s so much to learn and explore 🙂 One of the first shields that I’m tempted to buy is the Prototype Shield. I think building a prototype circuit right on top of the Arduino is pretty slick. […]

Timer interrupts allow you to perform a task at very specifically timed intervals regardless of what else is going on in your code.  In this instructable I’ll explain how to setup and execute an interrupt in Clear Timer on Compare Match or CTC Mode.  Jump straight to step 2 if you are looking for sample […]

The goal of this project is to build a cheap alternative to measuring CO2 ppm in the air. It’s a nice simple way to see over-time change in ppm using a cheap NDIR carbon sensor and a temperature/pressure sensor to achieve better accuracy. In this project you will need to: – Solder – Wire – […]

I have a solar power installation using an Omnik string inverter. Omnik is a China based manufacturer of PV inverters and they make extremely efficient devices. Optionally, you can install a WiFi module to make it “connected”. I am very content with the device, with two notable exceptions. It “phones home” to a China based […]

In this short tutorial we make an Arduino LCD shield. Updated 18/03/2013 Today we are going to make an Arduino shield with an LCD module. More often than not I have needed to use an LCD shield in one of my projects, or with the Arduino tutorials. Naturally you can buy a pre-made one, however […]

This example shows you how to make a HTTP request using an Ethernet shield. It returns a Google search for the term “Arduino”. The results of this search are viewable as HTML through your Arduino’s serial window. Circuit The Ethernet shield allows you to connect a WizNet Ethernet controller to the Arduino via the SPI […]

LED HEAD TED meet the world. I have always been interested in a bare-bones Arduino but never really saw the point if it was not practically useful, This is my entry into Little Bits contest, I tried to stay true to the ” little bits” theme and use…well little bits that I had lying around […]
