The Daily Duino

Another post on Pachube and how easy it is to get setup and going. This post will cover the basic steps on how to get some sensors online!  I will be using my project of two light sensors as an example.  The status of my light sensors are viewable at http://www.pachube.com/feeds/2145 Pachube + Arduino from [...]

Quick update before I zonk out…  Yesterday I setup an account for Pachube and spent all night getting familiar with how it works. Pachube describes itself as a service that enables you to connect, tag and share real time sensor data from objects, devices, buildings and environments around the world. The key aim is to [...]

That’s right, we are still alive!  I can’t stand the pain of not posting any longer, so I thought I would make the time to do a brief update. Things have been quite action packed and distracting for me!  A recent move has not helped with the distraction factor either, lol. Between work, packing and [...]

Finally gotten around to posting some pictures and video from the Flourish Conference, in Chicago IL.  Flourish was a blast, Droops and I had a wonderful time with all the great people that we met.

There has been quite a flurry of development revolving around the official ethernet shield recently. Here are what I consider a few of the more important changes. Ethernet fixes – There are some connection issues with the ethernet library with regard to incomplete disconnects. Since the wiznet chip only supports 4 simultaneous connections, this manifests [...]

Finally sat down and figured out how to send some basic signals via serial from Processing to an Arduino.  For this example I was just looking for basic functionality, so I settled for a simple way to turn a LED on and off.  It’s also mostly sample code gathered from the Internet. The Processing code [...]

Looks like Ben Fry and Casey Reas the creators of Processing, were recently interviewed on FLOSS Weekly! This is a nice intro into the world of Processing! If you’re looking for ways to extend your *duino projects, communicate with a PC or just have some creative fun, Processing could be for you! Be sure to [...]

Television! Teacher, mother, secret lover. –Homer J. Simpson Having only discovered the duino recently, I’m constantly searching for applications that push the limits of what can be done with the device. There have been several sketches posted that will output composite black and white video to your TV with a very simple circuit, but the [...]

I am working on having processing read and act on data from the ardunino, this is a simple test and code should be up soon, i am working on a code repo for Morgellon and I to share projects. Arduino / Processing Color Selector from droops on Vimeo. This is for our talk at Phreaknic, [...]
