This is my first in a series of more advanced Arduino tutorials. Now that we’ve covered the basics in tutorials 1-10 (you have watched them all right!?), it’s time to start pursuing some more complex projects! In this episode, we’ll utilize an SD card shield from cooking-hacks.com to create a datalogger. First, I’ll walk you

Disclosure: This project operates the ATmega328-P-PU outside the published ATmel specifications: According to ATmel, the 328P requires slightly over 3.3V to reliably start the oscillator at 16MHz and to otherwise perform acceptably. Lab testing here at SofKinetics has shown that the ‘board-duino’ 328P-PU can withstand below freezing and above 130F temperatures and that the 16MHz

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The

Ready-made SD card logging shields for the Arduino typically cost in the range of $15 – $25. This is quite reasonable, but we might save a couple of bucks if we make our own. Not to mention all the fun in building it. Forget about soldering wires to a bare SD card socket. It’s just
