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

There have recently been a series of web query projects that use the miraculously tiny and affordable ESP8266 micro controllers. Most have involved the output going to a tiny screen with small graphics. The local YMCA in Anchorage just completed a beautiful remodel but lacked funds for decorative elements. I wanted to build them something

A friend gave me one of Adafruit’s circuit playgrounds (developer edition) to use, and I wanted to see would it make a good robot controller. The circuit playground is packed full of features like sensors, neo-pixels and even an accelerometer. I wanted to add a L9110 motor controller and create a small bot I could

n this Instructable we will simulate an Toll Booth Gate by using a manual Push Button to open and close the gate. How Does It Work? When the vehicle comes in front of the gate, the push button is pressed & the gate is opened, this is done by sending a command via microcontroller to the servo to open the gate

WiFi has become an integral part of our life and daily billions of people use WiFi as a method to access the internet. But the range of WiFi is limited, unlike a cellular connection. A normal WiFi router usually has a range of about a 100m in clear sight and about 20m to 50m without clear

This is basically a Self-Driving Car powered by Arduino R-3 Development Board and a L293D Motor Shield.It uses the data given by the HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor which is connected to analog pins of the arduino board. As an additional feature, I have added a Micro 90g servo which the ultrasonic sensor is fixed to. Basically

In this project I’m building a physical Twitter client using Arduino and a flag, basically an arduino powered retweet indicator, whenever any of my tweets is retweeted some physical action will happen to notify me of that. You’ll need: 1. Flag. 2. Arduino. 3. Laptop with a java IDE installed on it. 4. Yellow Led
Twitter Physical Client Using Arduino Continue Reading
The Particle Photon is a microcontroller suitable for wearable project’s considering it’s small form factor and that it supports OTA updates. For those of you who do not know what a Particle Photon is it is a tiny microcontroller with on board WiFi (Cypress WiFi chip) and the STM32 ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller, which is ideal for cool

Recently my wife has suggested that I should lose a few pounds in weight (too much time geeking out and not enough time in the gym). With that in mind -and in true nerd fashion- I wanted to create a method to see my progress, as well as having a constant reminder to stick to
