Description When the world's lifeforms are forced into subterranean dwellings due to nuclear fallout, evolution into lizard people or warming of the Earth, we will require a simple method for determining our position underground. In our current age, we are still working out the intricacies associated with determining our location in areas where GPS cannot reach. SubPos provides a solution to this problem, w ...

We all know about Electricity energy meters which are installed in everyone’s house or offices to measure the electricity consumption. At last of every month, many of us get worried about the high electricity bill and we have to look at the energy meter once in a while. But what if we can monitor our electricity uses from anywhere in the world and get an SMS/E-mail when your energy consumption reaches to a ...

Understanding Telegram Bots Telegram offers a super useful set of API you can use in your projects. You can host a bot on you Arduino board and chat with it using a simple library called Telegram Bot. You can install this library via the L ...

The project consists of a kit for drones that includes an electronic device that functions as a meteorological station. Story The project consists of a kit for drones that includes an electronic device that functions as a meteorological station used for monitoring the values of environmental temperature, of atmospheric pressure and of humidity. The whole device'll work thanks to Arduino/Genuino MKR1000. The ...

Planning a scuba dive will be much easier with the data of visibility sensors on the divespot. Story When you're planning a scuba dive, it's nice to know the visibility of the water at the dive spot. This system will contain a sensor module in the water with a temperature sensor and a visibility sensor. The MKR1000 on the side of the water will send the data wireless to the closest WiFi-hotspot (a diving ce ...

Viseesaw uses the figure of a seesaw, to show metaphorically the inequality of two physical, conceptual or social realities. Story Viseesaw uses the figure of a seesaw, to show metaphorically the inequality of two physical, conceptual or social realities. The swinging movement of the seesaw is done by a stepper motor which is controlled by MKR1000. The inputs would come from two cases that could switch duri ...

Duffy the mobile robot moves alongside you connected through a "light leash" and alerts you of objects around the path. Story 1)    Background Audible Vision is designed to alert a person of objects around them. The project’s brain is the Arduino Uno, which is wired up with two IR Distance Sensors to tell you how far an object is. Mounted onto the Arduino is a Bluefruit EZ-link Bluetooth shield that connect ...

BBC Micro connects to WiFi, accesses games over the Internet. Story This project adds Internet connectivity to a 1980s BBC Micro using the Arduino MKR1000 with WiFi. The BBC Micro can search the bbcmicro.co.uk archive for games disc images & loads them from direct from the Web. There is still more to do, but Chuckie Egg, Frak, Repton, Pacman, Knight Lore, Jetset Willy tested OK so far :) Background I go ...

Real time plant monitoring system to view temperature, light exposure and moisture. Story This is a simple plant monitoring system made using the MKR1000, Standard Firmata Wifi sketch along with Johnny-Five and Node. I started off by loading the MKR1000 with the StandardFirmataWifi sketch. This will allow us to communicate with the board using Johnny-Five. Open Arduino IDE File -> Examples -> Firmata ...

Consider this the "Blinky LED" of the anduinoWiFi shield! Motivation Implementing an IoT prototype utilizing an Arduino that doesn't natively support WiFi can be cumbersome. Sure there are some pretty good options for native support. The MKR1000 natively supports WiFi, but this ease comes at a price. The SAMD21 is essentially half as powerful as the SAM3X8E on the Due. Why not have the best of both worlds? ...
