Water Sensor Node: Arduino + Atlas Scientific pH & Conductivity Sensors + Water Temp Sensor (but before I begin…I’ve had a hard time getting a post out recently. I am in the middle of the most amazing course offered by Contextual Electronics on learning how to build a PCB. Each day brings on a lot more to learn. YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator YUMI UEFI Changelog 11/27/20 Version 0.0.3.2: Fixed persistent file path (broken in 0.0.3.1). Updated to create a persistence casper-rw or writable file and label based on the ISO name. Supports persistent feature for Linux Mint and Ubuntu version 16 through 20+. RS-485 module for Arduino (MAX485 ) RS-485 module for Arduino (MAX485 ) Click photo above for details, then hover over upper right for more photos. This module interfaces an Arduino or similar microcomputer to RS-485. RS485 is used for Serial Communications over longer distances than direct RS232 or TTL, and supports multiple units on the same bus (Multi-Drop). Multiple Units can be connected to the same RS-485 wiring.

The ALS editor is required for: creating a three-dimensional geometric layout of lighting equipment in 3Dcreating a developed layout view on a plane with address assignment and equipment groupingcreating visual effects scenarios Main benefits of the new software: The debut of the ALS took place on The Light+Building 2014 in Frankfurt from March 30 to April 4, 2014
How to Build a Robot Tutorials - Society of Robots What are microcontrollers? They are what their name suggests. Today they can be found in almost any complex electronic device - from portable music devices to washing machines to your car. They are programmable, cheap, small, can handle abuse, require almost zero power, and there are so many variaties to suit every need. This is what makes them so useful for robotics - they are like tiny affordable computers that you can put right onto your robot. Augmented Microcontrollers and Development Boards In a pure sense, a microcontroller is just an IC (integrated circuit, or a black chip thing with pins coming out of it).
Water Quality Sensor Developed during the Water Hackathon on March 23-25 in New York City, the water quality sensor is a multipurpose tool for collecting data remotely. This tool is rapidly changing and is being used as part of the on going research initiative called DontFlush.Me This tool consists of an Arduino microcontroller, a set of water quality sensors, and a network connection module. As currently developed this tool uses a GSM based cellular module to send data via SMS. For this design a custom arduino shield was created. The Spontaneous Pop-up Display (SPUD) by Arovia Risks and challenges SPUD is a completely new type of product: the world’s first commercially available collapsible display. Like any new innovative product, there are risks that come from building a new design (but that is also what makes SPUD so exciting!) While our current schedule does give us flexibility, our biggest risk is meeting our timeline. We may find hidden bugs or have unexpected issues sourcing components.
RS485 Shield I bought an A4WD (w/o electronics) a couple years ago and have experimented with Xbee RF modules for communication both directly to the Sabertooth motor controller, as well as through an Arduino. I used C# to write multi-button window panels to control the drive motors. Other than testing sensors and servos, I never got to the point of including any of them in the motor drive program. But things have progressed quickly since purchasing EZ-Robot's EZ-B Microcontroller. It comes with EZ-Builder software that already has just about any control panel a person would want included for use in its own script language. It also comes with SDK's for those who eventually want to write their own C# or VB programs.

However, it is slow, is not meant to be run from interrupt code, and does not bound the pulseIn call by adding ", 38000" or whatever the appropriate maximum timeout (in microseconds) is for your sensor.
