Networking for Arduino

Posted on December 6, 2012 by robertwilkie

Interesting idea, basically to save the # of pins used the gent came up with a serial port meets token ring sort of protocol…or at least that what it sounds like.   http://hackaday.com/2012/12/03/inventing-networking-protocols-for-dozens-of-arduinos/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+hackaday%2FLgoM+%28Hack+a+Day%29

Gift for a Tinker

Posted on December 4, 2012 by robertwilkie

Nice gift ideas for a tinker in electric/electronics.  Ironically I have some of this stuff already.  🙂 http://blog.makezine.com/slideshow/2012-holiday-gift-guide-arduino/view-all/

3D scanner with an arduino, a motor, and some legos

Posted on December 3, 2012 by robertwilkie

Nice writeup on building a 3D scanner.  Which you will need to scann in and print out 3D objects  🙂 http://www.instructables.com/id/Lets-cook-3D-scanner-based-on-Arduino-and-Proces/

MariaMole, advanced IDE for Arduino

Posted on November 30, 2012 by robertwilkie

Looks like it takes the standard IDE and allows you to tweak things to optimize more (like compiler settings).  Maybe worth looking at to get a little more performance or space on your arduino. http://dalpix.com/mariamole

Arduino founder calls out startup/kickstarter

Posted on November 28, 2012 by robertwilkie

Interesting article how a startup may have bent the truth on their kickstarter project, and how one of the founders of Arduino has called them out on it. http://www.wired.com/design/2012/11/smartduino/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Top+Stories%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher

Arduino WiFI Shield, at $85 dollars

Posted on November 19, 2012 by robertwilkie

Great idea, have a wifi shield for arduino.  EXCEPT it costs $85 bucks.  For that much I could get an old router and put DD-WRT on it for 20…  But it would not be plug and play. http://www.makershed.com/Arduino_WiFi_Shield_p/mksp18.htm?Click=37845

Nice mini arduino board.  Bit more than I would spend (would go to TI instead) http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMicro

Arduino to Win7 Hack

Posted on November 7, 2012 by robertwilkie

Pretty simple setup, basically the AVR chip comes across as a USB keyboard and tells the Win7 box to open up.  Seen many hacks over the years with USB. http://dangerousprototypes.com/2012/10/31/avrv-usb-combo-tool-hacks-win-7/
