Background and motivation It should come as no surprise that I really really want a Tesla. Or really any Electric Vehicle for that matter. The only problem at the moment is that my daily commute takes me 20 minutes on foot each way, so I really can’t justify buying a car that will spend most of […]
Since Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a built-in ADC (Analog to Digital converter) to read the voltage off from most of sensors, the best solution is to add I2C ADC chips and modules to your project. Paweł Spychalski faced this problem while building his own weather station that is based on Raspberry Pi. It collects various
Description The MAX30205 temperature sensor accurately measures temperature and provide an overtemperature alarm/interrupt/shutdown output. This device converts the temperature measurements to digital form using a high-resolution, sigma-delta, analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Accuracy meets clinical thermometry specification of the ASTM E1112 when soldered on the final PCB. Communication is through an I2C-compatible 2-wire serial interface. The I2C

OH MySensor Platform While building my custom Home Automation system for my apartment I already designed some actuators in the form of my RGBW Controller. Several of these control the lighting in some of my rooms. To “intelligently” use your actuators (e.g. light, power, …) you need to collect some information first though. To do
I love AVR ATtinyx5 series microcontrollers. They are cheap, easy to use, they can be programmed just like Arduinos and comparing to their size they offer great features. For example, they can be used as remote analog to digital converters connected to master device using I2C bus. Background: few year ago I’ve build a weather
This post is about how to use the BMP180 barometric sensor with the Arduino. It is also applicable for other similar barometric sensors. Introducing the BMP180 barometric sensor The BMP180 barometric sensor (model GY-68) is the one in the following figure (front and back view). It is a very small module with 1mm x 1.1mm (0.039in x
The “Basic User’s Experiment Note” is based on the popular 8-bit Atmel AVR ATmega328P microcontroller using AVRJazz 28PIN development board. This e-book covering most of the Atmel AVR ATmega328P microcontroller important features. With almost 140 pages, this e-book is organized similar to many of the ermicroblog’s project pages where it used many important information inside
A while back, I added a fan controller to my Topward 6603A power supply. Later on, when I bought a used programmable power supply (PPS-2322) I had to do the same thing. Both of those builds were done on protoboards but I had a feeling that many of my other projects could use a similarly
“Arduino Freezer Temperature Sensor” is an Arduino based project which works as an indicator to notify you when the freezer isn’t work properly. This project was created by “John Saunders”. To make this project, you will need these parts: Arduino Nano, most of other Arduino boards can be used. USB cable, to connect the Arduino

This project describes a DIY wireless temperature and humidity monitor for kids’ or infant’s room using the Arduino platform, and inexpensive and easily available ASK transmitter/receiver modules. On the transmitting end, an Arduino nano senses the ambient room temperature and humidity using the DHT22 sensor and transmits the data to a receiving end Arduino over
