I wanted a charger for my iPodTouch and the MintyBoost was definitely my first choice. I wanted to take it a bit further and make it not only rechargeable but also solar powered. The other issue is that the iPhone and iPodTouch have large batteries in them and will deplete the two AA batteries in […]

Freescale Semiconductor today introduced the FXTH87 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) family, which is the smallest integrated package TPMS solution available at an extremely light weight of 0.3 grams. The FXTH87 family is 50 percent smaller than competing products, helping designers reduce overall bill of materials costs. Freescale’s newest TPMS system-in-package solution provides low power […]

A) Fritzing: Fritzing is an open-source hardware initiative that makes electronics accessible as a creative material for anyone. We offer a software tool, a community website and services in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, fostering a creative ecosystem that allows users to document their prototypes, share them with others, teach electronics in a classroom, […]

After reading about the famous Arduino programmable microcontroller using the “Getting Started with Arduino Kit (Jameco P/N 2121121) I was eager to try my hand at some real live electronic programming. The Arduino platform is a great place to start for a novice like me. After learning the basics and getting some LEDs to blink or fade, […]

Product Description This is a light sensor that I’ve been waiting for, for a long time. If you use photo cells or phototransistors, or other light sensors such as the useful TAOS TSL series, you know that every one leaves something to be desired. In robotics for example, sensors either tend to saturate in dark […]

Tweet-a-watt – How to make a twittering power meter… This project documents my adventures in learning how to wire up my home for wireless power monitoring. I live in a rented apartment so I don’t have hacking-access to a meter or breaker panel. Since I’m still very interested in measuring my power usage on a […]

What we wish to achieve? Technology makes a better world ! We believe ZERO+ can turn great ideas into reality because with ZERO+, you can develop your smart device including hardware, cloud service and user application within just one hour. Traditionally, to develop your own smart device, you would need to go through hardware, embedded system, could service and mobile application development. This not only is time and resource consuming but also often needs a huge team to achieve. However, with zero+ now everything is changed. ZERO+ offers an all in one solution that includes hardware, embedded system, cloud service and user application. Now, you can truly bring your imagination to life within only one hour. ZERO+ is designed for both individuals and teams, so anyone from makers to startup companies can join in this family of hardware development. Any prototype made with ZERO+ can easily be manufactured in large scale. We are looking forward to seeing lives with all sorts of connected hardwares we develop because it is going to make the world a smarter, healthier and more convenient place. The only limit is up  to  your imagination. ZERO+ , a smart open-source wifi module that you can use it in : Security alert/thermostat/door lock/control of light, irrigation system and any type of home automation from daily application to industrial use. Chipduino 1.0 (the most concise arduino) Chipduino  is an expansion module for Zero+. It is a […]

In Lesson 8 you learned to write analog voltages on the Arduiono, and in Lesson 10 you learned to read analog voltages from the arduino. In this lesson we will combine what you did in lessons 8, 9, and 10 to create an LED with adjustable brightness. The brightness will be set based on the […]
