Arduino
Arduino is an open-source computer hardware and software company, project and user community that designs and manufactures kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world.[1] Arduino boards may be purchased preassembled, or as do-it-yourself kits; at the same time, the hardware design information is available for those who would like to assemble an Arduino from scratch. The first Arduino was introduced in 2005. The project leaders sought to provide an inexpensive and easy way for hobbyists, students, and professionals to create devices that interact with their environment using sensors and actuators. History[edit] Arduino started in 2005 as a project for students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in Ivrea, Italy. Hardware[edit] An official Arduino Uno with descriptions of the I/O locations The Arduino board exposes most of the microcontroller's I/O pins for use by other circuits.

Arduino and DS18B20 - 1-wire digital thermometer | Ogalik Finally got this DS18B20 working. Actually three of them. And in two modes. Starting with the main mode, three wires are needed, as this sensor has three pins. Works with three wires, as seen on the following illustration. Parasite mode eliminates one wire. Maybe following illustration helps. Of course multiple DS18B20-s or different one wire devices can connected together like so: Here comes the beauty of using digital thermometers. Some words of caution: No pins on DS18B20 should be left unconnected. Software? DS18B20 can also be installed outside. Working with three DS18B20 thermometers for a year now – sometimes those thermometers do not get initialized correctly. Related posts: Looking at the Arduino for use in the Industrial Automation | ATS TechLab A few weeks ago, I purchased an DFRobot mega (Arduino mega 1280 clone) and an LCD display from Freeduino.eu, a few days later I also bought an ethernet shield (mega compatible) and a few components. This purchase also resulted in an additional free of charge Arduino Uno. I bought the Arduino to find out if it is usable in industrial automation projects. My current setup (see image) is a learning environment able to measure temperature and light intensity and it controls an RGB LED. The ethernet shield helps me sharing the measurements using a webserver. The Arduino platform is not expensive, the programming environment is for free and you only need 27,50 euro for an Arduino Uno, a USB A->B cable and an LED. The setup shown above will be split soon, the Uno and the ethernet shield will monitor my energy, gas and water consumption at home and the mega will be used by a few co-workers to see if it is usable for one of their projects.

Prezi Online presentation design platform Prezi is a Hungarian video and visual communications software company founded in 2009 in Hungary, with offices in San Francisco, Budapest and Riga as of 2020.[1] According to Prezi, in 2021, the software company has more than 100 million users worldwide[2] who have created approximately 400 million presentations.[3][1][4] In 2019, they launched Prezi Video, a tool that allows for virtual presentations within the video screen of a live or recorded video.[5] The word Prezi is the short form of "presentation" in Hungarian.[6] As of January 2022, the company had around 300 employees in 13 countries.[7] In early 2011, Prezi launched its first iPad application. That same year, it received $14M in Series B venture capital funding led by Accel Partners.[11] A Prezi iPhone app was launched in late 2012.[12] In July 2020, Prezi named President Jim Szafranski as the new CEO, and announced that Co-Founder and CEO Peter Arvai would become Executive Chairman.

Home energy data logging project Yesterday I saw that onterio will be increasing the electric bills 46% over the next 5 years as they phase out coal and go renewable. We don't have coal to phase out but are expecting similar increases in the future. The city recently announced millions in water infrastructure updates and they will be billing that not through property taxes but on water usage. In both cases the more you use the worse the hit will be. So today I decided it's time to get off my *** and get really serious about consumption logging and reduction. Water wise we discovered a break in the main on the cities side of the meter so they'll be digging that out and fixing it shortly. Anyways since I want to do data logging and realtime monitoring of our usage today I ordered an arduino mega microcontroller kit off of ebay. That is a good start to let me know what is going on beyond what my kill a watt can tell me. This should be fun.

BoardEthernet Overview The Arduino Ethernet is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a RJ45 connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. NB: Pins 10, 11, 12 and 13 are reserved for interfacing with the Ethernet module and should not be used otherwise. An optional Power over Ethernet module can be added to the board as well. The Ethernet differs from other boards in that it does not have an onboard USB-to-serial driver chip, but has a Wiznet Ethernet interface. An onboard microSD card reader, which can be used to store files for serving over the network, is accessible through the SD Library. The 6-pin serial programming header is compatible with the USB Serial adapter and also with the FTDI USB cables or with Sparkfun and Adafruit FTDI-style basic USB-to-serial breakout boards. The Revision 3 of the board introduces the standardized 1.0 pinout, that consist in: Summary Power VIN. Memory

Introduction What is Arduino? Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing. Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments. Arduino was born at the Ivrea Interaction Design Institute as an easy tool for fast prototyping, aimed at students without a background in electronics and programming. Why Arduino? Thanks to its simple and accessible user experience, Arduino has been used in thousands of different projects and applications. How do I use Arduino?

FTDI Basic Breakout - 5V Description: This is the newest revision of our FTDI Basic. We now use a SMD 6-pin header on the bottom, which makes it smaller and more compact. Functionality has remained the same. This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored wires on the FTDI cable. This board has TX and RX LEDs that make it a bit better to use over the FTDI cable. This board was designed to decrease the cost of Arduino development and increase ease of use (the auto-reset feature rocks!). One of the nice features of this board is a jumper on the back of the board that allows the board to be configured to either 3.3V or 5V (both power output and IO level). Documents:

What is an Arduino? Favorited Favorite 14 Introduction Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board. The Arduino platform has become quite popular with people just starting out with electronics, and for good reason. This is an Arduino Uno The Uno is one of the more popular boards in the Arduino family and a great choice for beginners. This is a screenshot of the Arduino IDE. Believe it or not, those 10 lines of code are all you need to blink the on-board LED on your Arduino. You Will Learn In this tutorial, we’ll go over the following: What projects can be accomplished using an ArduinoWhat is on the typical Arduino board and whyThe different varieties of Arduino boardsSome useful widgets to use with your Arduino Reset Button
