Internet Enabled Heating Controller with Blynk UI
433MHz Radio Controlled Heating Controller with Blynk UI This is a project to control your boiler using a 433MHz radio module. I have used a simple and cheap OOK radio module […]
NeoPixel Ring Clock
I recently bought a 24 LED NeoPixel Ring. These things are great and I would highly recommend you getting one as they are great fun and very easy to use. […]
LaserTag Project
Along with some other guys from Maidstone Hackspace we have started work on a LaserTag project. I seem to have made the most progress so far and the prototype below […]
UAV Project
So as you can probably tell I’ve been a bit busy last few months. However, I’ve been very busy with Arduino related stuff for both Medway Makers and Maidstone Hackspace, […]
FLiR Lepton Thermal Camera Module
My FLiR Lepton Thermal Camera Module has finally arrived from the USA. I managed to hook it up to my Raspberry Pi yesterday and successfully receive thermal images from it. The […]
8MHz Node Test
I’ve resurrected the Sensor Node project and I am experimenting in reducing the power consumption even further. This time I’ve removed the 3.3v voltage regulator from the circuit and I’ve […]
ATMega328P Power Saving Techniques
I was sent a link to to the following great article on power saving techniques for microprocessors and in particular the ATMEga328P which is the chip used in the Arduino. […]
A better Arduino IDE
As anyone who has used the Arduino IDE over time will tell you, this crappy piece of software has barely changed since the Arduino first surfaced. It has no autocompletion, […]
7mA in Sleep Mode
I appear to be getting 7mA current draw when the MCU is in sleep mode. This is not good. Even if left in sleep mode the battery would die in […]
