This project is a collaboration between idesigner4 and bhasudha(me), students in the Fall 2012 course Things That Think (CSCI 7000) at The University of Colorado – Boulder. The story of our bug-catching spider automaton goes like this: A giant evil spider resides in a big web. One day an unfortunate lady bug gets trapped in […]
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
This instructable shows you how to build a Web-enabled tri-color LED based on an Arduino and the WIZnet Ethernet shield, controllable from any Web browser . Check the live demo at http://try.yaler.net/~arduino/led Because the LED is exposed through a simple RESTful web service running on the Arduino color changes can also be triggered by Pachube
This instructable is a detailed guide on how to build an automated controller to run a motor that can operate the opening and closing of blinds. The controller enables the blinds to open and close based on a schedule, room temperature and out door luminosity. The controller settings can be set up via a web
This project will show you how to schedule to drive the outputs on a MKR Relay Proto Shield using a MKR1000! Things used in this project Hardware components Arduino MKR1000 × 1 Arduino MKR Relay Proto Shield × 1 Software apps and online services Arduino Web Editor Arduino IDE Story About this project This project
This project takes hourly temperature and humidity readings from a humidor. A Web API sends the readings to Azure SQL and Twitter. Story I WiFi enable something that that non-geeks would say “why did you do that?” I added a MRK1000 to a humidor. Every hour it sends temperature and humidity reading. Now according geek laws, if
Millions of farmers in the world each year face loss of their crop. Its mainly due to crop disease or environmental problems like nature of soil (pH), poor quality of air, and excessive or very low moisture in soil. To get cure from these problems, farmers need to know the fertilizer according to the condition

FlashProg is USB base flash memory programmer to work with 3.3V serial flash memory devices. This programmer is specifically design to read, program and configure 25x series, serial flash memory devices which are commonly used to store BIOS in PC mainboards. Originally we design this project to read and program BIOS of Foxconn G31MXP mainboard.
