At the place I work, we use xymon to monitor of our servers. All of the services monitored are important, but we wanted a separate indicator to simply show the overall health of the most critical systems. Furthermore, we came up with the following criteria: We wanted this visible to everyone whether or not they

The YaNis EOS controller is a device that allows you to wirelessly control your Canon DSLR from your Android phone. What’s really exciting here is that the Android interface allows you to change most of the camera’s settings (like Shutter Speed, Aperture Size, ISO, White Balance, Focus Position and others) from more than 20 meters

This example shows how to use SPI communications to read data from a SCP1000 Barometric Pressure sensor, and how to then post that data to the web by using your Arduino/Ethernet Shield combo as a simple web server. Using the Ethernet library, your device will be able to answer HTTP requests by responding with just

The P.I.L. Box – A Better Medication Reminder System Studies show the consequences of patients not taking medications according to doctor’s orders can be serious, especially in older patients.With today’s low cost micro-controllers and sensors (and the incentive of the Radio Shack / Instructables Micro Controller Contest) I thought there must be a better way

Here is my instructable on how to construct a pretty simple (for some!) short range infrared rangefinder/range sensor. Infrared rangefinders are very useful in a number of projects. The majority of these come from obstacle detection (in robots) or generally detecting distances! The one shown here is only a simple rangefinder and will only really

Overview This “Internet Speed Gauge” will give you near real time oversight of your network usage. This information is available on the web interface of most home routers. However, accessing it requires you to stop your current task to go look it up. I wanted to view this information without having to interrupt my current
