16Hertz UNO R3 Starter Kit – Arduino Compatible | 16 Hertz - Create Something With over 20 components and a high quality Arduino UNO R3 Clone, the 16Hertz UNO R3 Starter Kit #1, is the basic kit you need to get started with Arduino projects. It has all the components you need to jumpstart your Arduino programming. It is the most economical way to start with the Arduino. With just the components in the kit, you can build many projects, learn the basics of electronics and circuit building. For less half the price of an Arduino UNO get this high quality kit. We will also include lessons and sample code to help you get started. This kit is our most basic, entry level Arduino Kit. With the Arduino, you’ll be able to control things in the physical world as easily as you can control things on your computer. What’s included? UNO R3 Board USB Cable for Arduino 1x 170 point Breadboard (random color) 1x 9V Battery Connector with Barrel Jack 2x 5mm Red LED 2x 5mm Blue LED 2x 5mm Yellow LED 2x 5mm White LED 2x 5mm Green LED 10x 200 Ω Resistors

Inventor's Kit for Arduino (Old Stock) Replacement: KIT-11227. We've overhauled the SIK Manual with new graphics, revised code and in-depth instruction! Also, the kit includes a red translucent breadboard instead of the clear one which some found visually confusing, and the new and improved baseplate! Description: zOMG! Blinking LEDs Controlling a toy motor Controlling a servo Making (bad) music Responding to buttons Twisting a volume knob Detecting ambient light Reading temperature Controlling big devices Mixing LED colors We believe these to be the building blocks of any electronics project. Note: No soldering required. Note: Because Atmel is moving more and more of their production capacity to surface mount ICs, the DIP packaged ATmega328 is becoming more and more difficult to get. Note: There is an error with CIRC-03. Note: This product is a collaboration with Oomlout. Kit includes: Documentation: Replaces: KIT-10152

Build Your Own GPS Car Tracking System Find Open Source Alternatives to commercial software | Open Source Alternative - osalt.com Voice Activated Arduino (Bluetooth + Android) Control your Arduino with voice commands using an Android smartphone! Before we make a voice activated home automation system, we must first learn the basic principles of the experiment. This guide will let you command the Arduino using your Android smartphone and a HC-05 Bluetooth module. The designer of the app did not include a sample code. I looked for alternatives in Google's PlayStore but none was as good as the app that I've found. Luckily, I was able to figure it out although it took me a while to program it. How Does It Work? Home Automation System (on July 4, 2014): A month from now/ I'll be releasing a highly sophisticated home automation + security system. Here's A Quick Video Demo:

ARDX - v1.3 Experimentation Kit for Arduino (Uno R3) [v1.3] ID: 170 - $85.00 Adafruit is currently shipping R3 of the Arduino UnoInterested in making neat stuff with an Arduino but not sure where to start? This kit includes all the pieces needed to complete 11 different circuits, along with a experimenter's guide booklet & breadboard layout sheets. Basically everything you need to be playing within minutes of its arrival. No soldering required! Intel and Arduino Team Up to Launch the Galileo

Pinguy OS Arduino vs Raspberry Pi: Which Is The Mini Computer For You? You’re looking for a small computer to power a laser turret that can shoot multi-coloured balloons – it’s a common situation we all find ourselves in at one point or another – and you’ve heard good things about both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. But you can’t decide – which the best mini-computer for your project? Which is going to prevail as the most useful once you’ve disassembled the turret thanks to that incident with the neighbour’s cat? Which could you play movies on? Don’t worry, James is here to explain all! What’s The Difference? The Arduino and Raspberry Pi may look quite similar – they’re both cute little circuit boards with some chips and pins on them – but they are in fact very different devices. Although the Arduino can be programmed with small C-like applications, it cannot run a full scale “operating system” and certainly won’t be replacing your media center anytime soon. Strengths & Weaknesses So is the Arduino useless then? None So, you’re decided? WAIT!

RasPlex Puts Plex on Your Raspberry Pi-Powered Home Theater PC I use to be in the same camp as you, but the truth is that for every feature XBMC offeres that Plex is missing, there is an even more important feature Plex has that XBMC is missing. If you want the best of both though, Id just suggest running the PlexBMC plugin inside of XBMC. PS, you can tell the media scanner in plex that its personal media files by choosing Home Movies and then adding folders as you please. It will then list them by folder/file. PPS The only plugins that are missing are Navi-X and the scrapped sites that go along with it. This is because the dev from Navi-X pretty much acted like a child on the Plex forums and said screw you guys Im going home with my ball. Considering most of my Plex clients are Android based devices of one form or another, a missing Navi-X Plugin is no big loss considering, I have access to their app. I agree. The big thing for me, is the easy use of WAN streaming.
