Click the image to see it in all its glory. Having used the sample GroveStreams Arduino code to simulate a temperature sensor, my next step has been to verify how data can be sent to the GroveStreams chart generator for…
A relatively new web service called GroveStreams allows you to upload sensor data (or any other data) to the web for display and analysis. The have a sample tutorial for the Arduino which simulates a periodic temperature reading. This displays…
The Champlain Mini Maker Faire will take place on Saturday and Sunday, September 28, and 29, at the Shelburne Farms Coach Barn in Shelburne Vermont. I’ll be showing my Arduino projects. Look for a feast of 3d printers, robots, innovators,…
They were out of stock with the assembled boards, so I bought the kit for a savings of $10.00. I followed the instructions on the web, without problems taking probably double the estimated time of one hour, I took two.…
I’ve been trying out the (frankly, brilliant) TVOut library by Miles Metzler which allows your Arduino to talk to a TV using either NTSC (North America) or PAL (Europe) composite video. The hardware setup takes only two resistors, three jumper wires…
As an Arduino newbie, I’ve now gone far enough down the Arduino road to start making some mistakes. As they say in the prayer, “We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done…
Withings has announced a new activity tracker which, like the FitBit will also track sleep patterns. A new capability is that it also will give what looks like a static heart rate read-out when you press a finger to the…
Thats the Arduino board at the top, and a mini-breadboard with the heart-rate monitor chip and 7 segment display on the bottom. Not quite as elegant as a Polar wristwatch monitor (which I compared to for accuracy)… but its…
