Homebuilt Rovs. I have completed the first pressure test.......

Homebuilt Rovs

I began the pressure test by slowly increasing the water pressure while watching for any signs of leaks, I was able to reach my maximum water pressure of 95 psi (which simulates a depth of around 200') without either of the seals showing any signs of leaks. The only leak a had was from the actual wires, and this was through the jacket of the wires and not the rubber exit seal.

I could however get the rubber wire exit seal to leak a little (and by little I mean a small trickle) if I pulled the wires sharply to the side, which would be expected because I was creating a void in the seal. Keep in mind that this was the back side (dry end) of the seal though and that shouldn't happen on wet side of the seal because that side does have some flexibility to it.

I let everything sit under pressure for about 10 minutes and then I proceeded to hooked up the pump to the battery. I came back and hour later and still no leaks.

Freeboard [MeshCMS] FreeBoard is a new way to provide navigation instruments on your boat.

Freeboard [MeshCMS]

Its released as an open source project (GPL). Its in an early but useable stage, and developing fast. Code is on , NEW: protoype interface board arrives This is the 'floating' view. Goals minimal costmaximum interoperabilitysupport wind, log, autopilot, charts, and other common uses.use low cost commodity hardwaresupport modern devices (PC, tablets, cellphones)support for many simultaneous userstotal system cost (less clients) <USD500use common KAP/BSB or ENC map formats (US NOAA Raster charts work) See OpenSeaMap.org Thats achieved in a totally unique way, by providing the instruments and chartplotter via a web page over a local wifi link on your boat, so that any device with a web browser can access them. Capabilities Like a PC, Freeboard can do many different things for different needs. Multiplex NMEA, convert Seatalk to NMEA and vice versaBroadcast NMEA over Wifi.

Arduino Powered Remote Control Lawnmower

 This project walks you through the entire build process step by step and includes a thorough guide for creating remote control robotics. You can read the entire build tutorial to perhaps create your own robotic servant. How to build a 5$ Arduino (clone) If you are like me and build projects with Arduino, you must have felt the frustration with ripping your project apart, because you wanted to build something else with that Arduino.

How to build a 5$ Arduino (clone)

I have had the same issue many times, so I decided to find a way to solve this once and for all. Hence, how to build an Arduino clone for less than 5$. Warning: Now before we continue a warning. Interfacing a sensor with an Arduino. The world of hobby electronics is one that has seen explosive growth and massive changes over the past few years. The biggest changes have come from the level of computing hardware that is available to the hobbyist. From very simple microcontrollers to full PCs on a USB stick, all sorts of options are available. 11 Arduino projects that require major hacking skills—or a bit of insanity. Raspberry Pi has received the lion's share of attention devoted to cheap, single-board computers in the past year.

11 Arduino projects that require major hacking skills—or a bit of insanity

But long before the Pi was a gleam in its creators' eyes, there was the Arduino. Unveiled in 2005, Arduino boards don't have the CPU horsepower of a Raspberry Pi. They don't run a full PC operating system either. Arduino isn't obsolete, though—in fact, its plethora of connectivity options makes it the better choice for many electronics projects. While the Pi has 26 GPIO (general purpose input/output) pins that can be programmed to do various tasks, the Arduino DUE (the latest Arduino released in October 2012) has 54 digital I/O pins, 12 analog input pins, and two analog output pins. Arduino's array of inputs and outputs proves crucial in projects from building robots to 3D printers, said Jason Kridner, co-creator of the BeagleBone line of products that combine Raspberry Pi-like horsepower with Arduino-like capabilities. Dublon spent a year testing Tongueduino on himself. Open Source Hardware Files. Freeduino is a collaborative open-source project to replicate and publish Arduino-compatible hardware files.

Open Source Hardware Files

The Freeduino Eagle SCH, BRD and Gerber production files allow users to create boards that are 100% functionally, electrically and physically compatible with Arduino hardware. While Arduino is a protected trademark, Freeduino comes with a free and unrestricted license to use the Freeduino name, available for any use. This means you can do whatever you want with these files. The idea here is to make available the Eagle files you would need to make your own Freeduino variant board. Freeduino currently consists of a Diecimilia-equivalent schematic and 0603, 0805, 1206 and through-hole routed board files. Original Freeduino Files: Freeduino 0603 SMT prototype.
