STM32F4 Discovery Board running .NET MicroFramework « Singular Engineer. Lego's, IR and Netduino? Today's Hardware Friday post takes three of our favorite hardware things and show us how we can make them work together.

Lego's, IR and Netduino?

Really, what's more more fun then a series that helps us build hardware and write code that let's Netduino, the .Net Micro Framework talk to LEGOs! Gliding into a .Net Micro Framework UI design with GLIDE. So you have your .Net Micro Framework device.

Gliding into a .Net Micro Framework UI design with GLIDE

You want to give it a UI that people are used to, one with buttons, progress bars, grids, etc. You don't want to do all the basic grunt UI drawing yourself, and wish there was some kind of UI design tool available, preferably a free, though maybe GPL, one, one where there were non-GPL options you could purchase if needed. One where you could just focus on designing your UI and then easily add that design code to your code project... Something like... Glide is a graphical library for .NET Micro Framework (NETMF) that uses a graphical screen designer. So you download the Library from.

Wake your computer with Wake On Lan using Arduino. Computers have a nice feature allowing powering PC by sending a command to LAN card.

Wake your computer with Wake On Lan using Arduino

Just to make sure if it’s there go to your PC BIOS and find Wake On LAN (WOL) menu which you can enable. Once PC is ready next logical step is sending WOL command to make it work. Lucadentella have used Arduino with Ethernet shield to send this command. DMD: Dot Matrix Display 32x16 Red. A huge dot matrix LED panel to connect to your Freetronics Eleven, EtherTen and more!

DMD: Dot Matrix Display 32x16 Red

This large, bright 512 LED matrix panel has on-board controller circuitry designed to make it easy to use straight from your board. Clocks, status displays, graphics readouts and all kinds of impressive display projects are easy to create using this display. The photos don't do this display justice: it's stunningly bright, so put on your sunglasses before you fire it up! To make it really easy to get started we include a breakout board and ribbon cable along with the display module, so you can plug it straight in to an Arduino-compatible board and start playing with it right away.

General. ARM. Gyroscope Module 3-Axis L3G4200D. The Gyroscope Module is a low power 3-axis angular rate sensor featuring temperature data as an added bonus.

Gyroscope Module 3-Axis L3G4200D

Raw measured angular rate and temperature data are accessed from the selectable digital interface (I2C or SPI). The module features a small package design and has an easy to access SIP interface with a mounting hole for quick connectivity to your projects. It is designed for use with a large variety of microcontrollers with different voltage requirements. Application Ideas: Gaming 3D motion control Virtual reality input devices Robotics UAV, IMU systems Features: Microcontroller Projects: Nokia 3315 LCD interfacing with Microcontroller. Displaying content on a normal alphanumeric display is very limited ,we have to be limited with the font size and we can't draw any graphics also. but convention Graphics lcd are really very expensive so here is the solution, you can use Nokia 3315 / 3310 monochrome LCD to display your large font text and graphics . the reason behind using this LCD is ,it is really very cheap and can be powered with 3 volts supply. so it is really good for battery powered application.

Microcontroller reference sheet v1.0. STM32 interrupts and programming with GCC. Internet of Things Application Repository. Beagle Bone [v1.0] ID: 513 - $89.00 : Adafruit Industries. From the fine people who have brought us the Beagle Board, a smaller, lighter, but powerful single board linux computer, Beagle Bone!

Beagle Bone [v1.0] ID: 513 - $89.00 : Adafruit Industries

We like this move to a more compact and integrated SBC. For example, there is onboard Ethernet and USB host, as well as a USB client interface (a FTDI chip for shell access). It even comes preloaded with Angstrom Linux on the 4 GB microSD card! Package includes: Fully assembled and tested BeagleBone A6 Mini-B USB cable4 GB microSD card with preloaded Angstrom LinuxMicroSD to SD card adapter We also suggest getting a 5V/2A DC power adapter and our Proto Cape! DTMF Decoder using Goertzel algorithm on PIC18F4520. Wicked use of HTML5 to display sensor data. There’s a New SheRifF in Town and Their Name is Synapse Wireless.

Could Synapse Wireless’s 802.14.5 RF engines be an Xbee killer?

There’s a New SheRifF in Town and Their Name is Synapse Wireless

It seems that we in the hobby industry have been a little naive as to think that Digi International’s reign as RF Networking King would last forever? Not only have Roving Networks under cut them on pricing with their new WiFi node but they now have some stout competition from Syanpse Wireless in the 802.15.4, 2.4 GHz node market as well.

Many companies are closing the gap on Digi, and even surpassing them in some cases. The 802.15.4 RF network node that I’d like to talk about is the Syanpse Wireless RF100PC6 RF Engine. AS1130 is the smallest LED dot-matrix driver for 132 LEDs. The Embedded PC’s ISA Bus: Firmware, Gadgets, and Practical Tricks — Unleashed « The Smell of Molten Projects in the Morning. ISA Bus Book - Front Cover A long time ago, in a universe far away, I wrote a book that (barely) catapulted me into the ranks of the thousandaires.

The Embedded PC’s ISA Bus: Firmware, Gadgets, and Practical Tricks — Unleashed « The Smell of Molten Projects in the Morning

Time passes, companies get sold / fail / merge / get bought, and eventually the final owners decided to remainder the book; the last royalty check I recall was for $2.88. Anyhow, now that it’s discontinued and just as dead as the ISA bus, I own the copyright again and can do this: They’re both ZIP files, disguised as ODT files so WordPress will handle them.

Arduino. Pic. Digital Caliper with RS232 Interface - Microcontroller Project Circuit. This project shows you how to connect inexpensive calipers, micrometers and height gauges to PC through serial RS-232 interface and see the result using PC software. Its main part consists of minimal PIC to RS-232 interface, +5V/-1.5V power from serial port, and 1.5V to 5V logic level conversion. 12v dc motor controller circuit. If you want to control speed of a small 12 volt DC motor. Before will see others circuit. I introduces this circuit as figure that show below. They is simple circuit because used a little piece of component. Bus Pirate v3b with Proble Cable [GAD-000001] - $23.95 : Sandbox Electronics. Overview The “Bus Pirate”, designed by Dangerous Prototypes, is a universal bus interface that talks to most chips from a PC serial terminal, eliminating a ton of early prototyping effort when working with new or unknown chips.
