Over the past few days I decided to take a step back from hacking together stuff with the Arduino and to instead take the time to read up more on the fundamentals of electronics that I imagined everyone should be aware of; that being how voltage, current and resistance work in a circuit.
This is why I added a MilliTimer class to JeeLib early on. Let's rewrite the code: MilliTimer ledTimer; bool ledOn;; void setup () { leadTimer.set(1); // start the timer } void loop () { if (ledTimer.poll()) { if (ledOn) { digitalWrite(LED, ...
Here is my connection (You can check GPIO pinout here): I used theFTDI GPS adapter cable, solder pads can be used also, just have in mind the TX pad = RX Ublo… (RT @DIYDrones: Check out "How to connect 3DR GPS uBlox to Raspberry Pi" on DIY Drones:...
If your local school system offers computer science courses, chances are those courses are electives that won't count toward core science or mathematics credi (Why Programming Teaches So Much More Than Technical Skills
Today's Hardware Friday project is from friend of the blog, Matt Cavanagh (who is a newly minted Nokia Developer Champion), who provides us a project that's very much a mix of old and new school...
In this post I will be talking about how to get an Arduino and an Android tablet talking to each other using Bluetooth We will be using an Arduino Uno ($29.95) with a Silver Bluetooth Mate ($40.95)...

The Arduino Yún is the first in a series of WiFi-enabled Arduino boards, and the first to run Linux.
In this short video, Simon Maple and Andy Stanford-Clark show the new WebSphere Liberty Profile interfacing with Really Small Message Broker (RSMB) via an...
The Red Hat-sponsored Fedora operating system has a bit of a checkered history with the Raspberry Pi. It was originally the recommended operating system for the device before being stripped from the Raspberry Pi Foundation's downloads page, replaced by a version of Debian optimized for the Pi's ARMv6 chip. But Fedora is back on the Pi in the form of a new build developed by the Seneca Centre for Development of Open Technology in Toronto. It's called "Pidora."
At Maker Faire Bay Area, a "startup pavilion" highlights 20 new maker-focused startups. But big companies like Autodesk, General Electric, and even Google are getting into the DIY game too.

Java Apps on the Raspberry Pi Dr. Dobb's I've been working on a few smaller projects (pun intended) involving Java SE Embedded and the Raspberry Pi. For those of you new to this platform, the
One of the most read blog posts I've done was "Twitter sentiment analysis in 30 seconds" and it's still one of the most used search terms. "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better...

Radiolab invites families, armchair scientists and lovers of nature to join in a bit of mass science: track cicadas that emerge once every 17 years across New Jersey, New York and the whole Northeast.
One interesting element of Google I/O this year were the sensors laid out everywhere around Moscone tracking environmental data throughout the event.
Last year's big hack was software-defined radio; a small USB TV tuner that could listen in on radio broadcasts anywhere between 64 and 1200 MHz.
Over the past last month or so, I have been working on creating the hardware and the software needed to be able to boot/reboot/hard reboot my …
Thermal imaging can be used to document heat/AC leaks from insulation gaps on a building's facade, reveal warmer ground water inflows (either fresh or chemical-laden) or "thermal pollution" from industrial processes entering ocean-temperature waterbodies, as well as identify areas on the human body experiencing infection or stress (includes epidemiological applications).

In conjunction with the release of the new version of the Arduino IDE and the Arduino Robot, we’re also putting out a TCT LCD screen. The screen was developed in conjunction with Complubot and the library relies on the AdafruitGFX and ST7735 libraries.
A fixed-rate timer is not part of the ARM specification, but most ARM-based SoC's have such a timer. The Raspberry Pi is no exception. However, reading its timer in Linux takes a Unix hacker's unde...
I have been working on a project for a few months (lots of testing time) which sees my pi acting as a temperature monitor for an aquarium.
My two baby turtles are happily swimming around whilst my pi watches over the temperature of their tank. At the moment I am using a single 1-wire thermometer to monitor the water however in the future I will be adding additional sensors for air and outside temperatures.
I have always wanted to control something interesting involving little servo motors. That's somewhat of an ill-defined dream, isn't it? But it has all been made possible by using my handy dandy Raspberry Pi computer
This weekend I attended the eighth annual Maker Faire with my son in San Mateo, Calif. The Maker Faire and the Maker Movement have gotten so large, it's easy to take them for granted.
