DS1307 RTC tutorial

Arduino Candygrabber I've seen a lot of ways to communicate to arduino over the net, but none of them could handle pushing back the messages from arduino to the client(you) in real time and vice versa. In this instructable you will learn how to connect to your arduino and control it over the net, set up a video stream, and how to control stuff with your arduino all in realtime. I'll try to show you on a concrete example how this could be done, but the code I used and wrote is going to be generic so you can use it for your projects. In this example my arduino is going to control a candy grabbing machine. So how should it work? I'll try to keep it online as long possible but my internet provider is a little quirky so if you can't connect please come back later. Seems complicated? UPDATE 2: I decided if I win the MakerBot to give it away to my Arduino comunity that started in Croatia.

Thats it! The basic materials and tools you will need are: A metal clad tool case (Maplin, B&Q, tool shops - see photos). Perspex sheet 3mm thick and the size of the inner rim of the lip of your box (see photo later). M3 Nuts, bolts and washers (20 or so will cover it). Black card sheet (A3 size, Staples). 2x UV-A tubes - not blacklight tubes, you need to get the right ones (Rapid, CPC, Specialist). Tube "U" clips to fit the tubes - metal sprung type. Mains rated switch (Maplin, Rapid, CPC etc...). Mains flex 3M or so, 3 core 5A (to use whole and stripped into conductors). Heatshrink tubing slightly larger than the wiring you will use (inner conductors of mains flex). Ring terminals. 3A Terminal block or "chocstrip" Mains strain relief cable gland (Maplin, electrical supplier) to fit your mains cable. Various short screws, pan head and countersunk self tapping. Sticky tape 2 small blocks of wood 1"x1" Mirrored card/plastic or tin-foil. Tools: Drill. Drill bits. Soldering Iron. Solder. Crimp tool for ring terminal.

The Road to Doha QFI's Road to Doha program helped train and bring together youth from Qatar, the U.S., Brazil and Argentina to better understand and develop solutions to critical global issues and to more effectively raise environmental awareness. The Future We Want In June 2012, Youth Ambassadors for Science and the Environment traveled to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Caravelas and Abrohlos National Marine Park before heading to Rio+20 Earth Summit.

Full Demonstration of all LilyPad components The LilyPad Electronic Platform is an electronic platform designed to be easily sewn into fabric using conductive thread, which provides designers freedom from the traditional construction method of soldering. The LilyPad consists of 3 sensors (temperature, light, and acceleration), a button board, and 4 kinds of output devices: a tri-colored LED, a white LED, a sound board, and a buzzer board. This Instructable shows you how to construct a full demonstration of the LilyPad's functions. When discussing soft circuit components, especially when talking to those unfamiliar with electronics, it's extremely useful to be able to point to a physical device demonstrating how components connect to another and their possible functionality. In that vein, I sewed together all the LilyPad components (with the exception of the XBee) and wrote a small script that ties each sensor to an output device. The video below demonstrates all the functionality of all components.

How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system This article automatically determines whether a computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows. This article also describes how to manually determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows. Generally, a computer's bit count indicates how much data it can process, the speed with which it can process the data, and the maximum memory capacity. In order to optimize the computer's performance, the bit count of the operating system that is installed on the computer should match the bit count of the computer itself. You are currently using a 32-bit operating system. Use the following methods to determine which version of Windows is installed, as appropriate for the operating system that you are running. Windows 8 There are two methods that you can use to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 8. Method 1: View the System window in Control Panel Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Windows XP

microcontroller - How to Get Ambient Temp from Arduino Lilypad Temperature Sensor Introduction to Hardware Hacking with Arduino Welcome to the Arduino tutorial I wish existed when I started hardware hacking. Learn how to send an SMS text message in Python by pushing a button on your Arduino! A couple years ago I was very new to hardware hacking, hadn't touched a solder in over a decade, never used an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. I wanted to play around with an Arduino but I didn't know where to begin. In the Fall of 2012 I joined Tindie as the first employee; Tindie is a marketplace for all things electronics (printed circuit boards to robots to drones) and that fueled my interest in hardware even more. I'm a software engineer, love programming and preferred to program in Python on my Arduino instead of learning another new language. The tutorial is for you if: You have never used an Arduino or have some experience and want to learn how to run Python programs on your Arduino. Background Arduinos are awesome! This is why Arduino is called a platform. To quote SparkFun: Purchasing an Arduino My very first Arduino. Unboxing
