Collecting GPS Data Using GPS Module With Windows IoT
Posted on: 30 Oct 2017
Story In this tutorial we will demonstrate how GPS data can be collected from a serial GPS module. We are using an Andoer u-Blox NEO-6M GPS module, which has excellent GPS capabilities. One of the NEMA sentences that it collects includes the GPGGA sentence which provides essential fix data. We’ll show you how to develop an application […]
An isolated analog output for Arduino Uno
Posted on: 29 Oct 2017
This project uses the Arduino PWM Uno or other systems to realize a fully isolated analog output with a range of 0-5 volts or more, changing only the reference voltage. Introduction This project completes the series of my articles about the Arduino analog I/O with the aim to use it as a controller of small […]
Internet-of-Things Power Meter
Posted on: 28 Oct 2017
Description The Internet-of-Things Power Meter (IPM) is a device fixed on top of the regular household power meter that provides detailed information about the electricity usage. Modern power meters have a LED blinking every time a watt-hour is used, the IPM detects these flashes using a light sensor, counts them, saves the values to an […]
Lightweight Body Heat – Electricity Converter
Posted on: 26 Oct 2017
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new design for harvesting body heat and converting it into electricity for use in wearable electronics. The experimental prototypes are lightweight, conform to the shape of the body, and can generate far more electricity than previous lightweight heat harvesting technologies. The researchers also identified the optimal […]

Tibbo Project System-based Aircon Controller Application
Posted on: 24 Oct 2017
The app allows you to manage traditional air conditioners that are controlled through infrared remotes. Designed for the office environment, the app relies on the ambient brightness (measured by Tibbit #28) to determine whether the aircon should be running or not. In the office setting, no lights = no people = no need for the […]
Build Your Own Microcontroller Based PID Control Line Follower Robot (LFR) – Second Part
Posted on: 23 Oct 2017
One of the interesting parts in building the Line Follower Robot is; you could start it with a very simple version by using just two transistors with the LED and LDR for sensor (Build Your Own Transistor Based Mobile Line Follower Robot – First Part) and enhance it to the programmable version that use microcontroller […]
8 Channel RS485 Relay Board
Posted on: 23 Oct 2017
This project helps you control 8 relays using RS485 link with the help of a PC. This kit can effectively convert a standard PC to a powerful PLC ( programmable logic controller ). At the PC end , you will need to use our RS232 to RS485 Interface – C020 or any other suitable […]
