Nothing puts the fun back into coding like watching your very own creations come to life in the physical world. Luckily, with the current glut of high-tech toys and electronic gadgets on the market, it’s never been easier to experience the thrill of designing your own hardware by modifying what’s already available. A great way […]

The idea behind this project was very straightforward: design an inexpensive remotely controlled system capable of taking still pictures and uploading them to a remote file storage with a camera to be activated by either remote commands or sensor events. And after numerous brain storms the following solution has been found.In base configuration the system

Vision The aim of our project is to be able to control a electrical switching process using a remote. The idea is to come up with an alternative to the conventional electric switch boards, using a wireless control mechanism, in an economic way. In other words, an Electric Switch Board is to be designed in

Long-time readers will know I’m not one to promote trendy marketing phrases and certainly ‘Internet of Things’ or ‘IoT’ is right up there with the best (worst) of them. But the concept behind the phrase is worth understanding as it drives the next generation of connected devices. Single-function or ‘embedded’ gadgets built from microcontrollers like

Subject: Daily life activities of food preparation can be challenging for consumers due to restricted skills and experience, loss of perceptive abilities (accident/aging) or due to product fraud and contaminations, commonly summarized under the term of food adulteration, which are exceeding human perceptive abilities in general. Thus, in our work the E-Taster-assistance-system for living assistance
TL;DR – I wanted all of my AV components to turn on and change inputs as soon as I started Airplaying music to my Apple TV from my iPhone, so I popped open the Apple TV, wired up a photocell sensor to an Arduino Uno, wired up some Infrared LEDs, wrote some code, and made

1. Overview The Wixel shield seamlessly enables a wireless link (with a typical range of ~50 feet) to replace your Arduino’s USB interface, which means you can use the standard Arduino computer software to: wirelessly program the Arduino (this feature is not available with the Arduino Leonardo or the A-Star 32U4 Prime). wirelessly debug sketches with
