Before the “digital age” many families used wall calendars to show a monthly view of upcoming events. This modern version of the wall mounted calendar includes the same basic functions: A monthly agenda Sync of family members activities Easy browse between monthsBeyond those basic functions this gadget will also handle: A whether forecast Upcoming events in the surrounding area Live information about the public transport And even more... What you need: Raspberry Pi 2 USB Wifi Dongle. (Like Edimax 150Mbps Wireless nano ) LCD laptop screen (take one from a broken laptop http://www.instructables.com/id/Old-laptop-screen... Controller card for the laptop screen (search Ebay for LCD Controller Driver Board and the serial number of your laptop screen) Some Push Button Switches (Like http://www.ebay.com/itm/16mm-Start-Horn-Button-Mom... ) Webserver running a custom made homepage Piece of wood. Height should be more than 30mm, so the electronics can fit inside. The width and height depends on the size ...

If an Arduino program crashes in the forest, will it make a sound? Unfortunately not. No blue screen of death, nor jarring squawk will alert you to the program’s doom. It will typically just quietly and unobtrusively stop running whatever robot, keypad or front door it is supposed to be looking after. In this article, I’ll show you how to use the watchdog timer to help track down the bug causing the lockup. But first, there’s a quick review of the watchdog timer itself for those new to the game.

There are many different ways to keep your plants watered on a schedule. [Luca Dentella] just created a new one by building the irrighino watering system. He used standard off the shelf, hardware to keep it simple.

[ZPriddy] was looking for a way to control his Nest thermostats with Amazon Echo. He didn’t want to settle for using AWS or some other hosted service. [ZPriddy] wanted something that he could host and manage completely on his own.

The ACS712 is a very easy to use bi -directional current sensor. It comes in 5, 20, and 30 amp versions, and there's only one line of code that needs to be changed depending on which unit you have.

Yes, it's another barebones Arduino, but the additional prototyping space makes it a unique and very handy board to have. The Atmega328 is socketed, so if you do something crazy, you are back in business for under $5.

This tutorial shows how to remotely switch a high power voltage with a cheap esp8266 wifi module. Nice for home automation appliances.

The situation was that I was only able to transmit and receive through 2 or 3 walls with a distance of about 50 feet, using standard nRF24L01+ modules. This was insufficient for my intended use. I had earlier tried adding recommended capacitors, but for me and my hardware got very little to no improvement. So, please ignore them in the photos.For my remote sensors I did not want the bulk of a unit like a nRF24L01+PA+LNA with a SMA Mount and exterior antenna. So I created this modified module.With this modified RF24 module I could go through four walls with a distance of about 100 feet.This module should also nearly double the distance over a standard nRF24 module when used with line of sight applications; like RF planes, quad-coppers, cars and boats (100s of meters).

A lot of us take roads for granted, at least until they are icy or torn up by construction. The concept of creating fixed paths seems to be in our firmware.

More and more home automation projects are integrated into an Internet of Things (IoT) perspective. For example, you want to monitor what’s going on in your home remotely, no matter if you are in your living room or at the other end of the world.

A while back, we got a set of weather sensors from Sparkfun. It includes a Anemometer (speed), Wind Vane (direction), and a Rain Gauge.
I used a hand held wind speed device to calibrate my Arduino code.

The ESP8266 is an amazing chip for all your home automation & Internet of Things projects. This chip costs less than $5, has WiFi connectivity, an onboard processor, and is compatible with the Arduino IDE.

This project uses a simple IR Transmitter (in this case I used a Max Power LED kit to extend the range but any IR LED would do) connected to a spark-core, to send IR commands to the Air conditioning unit over the internet.

The ESP8266 is an incredible piece of hardware; it’s a WiFi module controllable over a serial port, it’s five freaking dollars, and if that’s not enough, there’s a microcontroller on board.

As smartphones continue to get bigger and bigger, the race to have the smallest chip running Unix (or Linux, as the case may be) is still on.
