How to build an arduino energy monitor Including voltage measurement via AC-AC voltage adapter and current measurement via a CT sensor. This guide details how to build a simple electricity energy monitor on that can be used to measure how much electrical energy you use in your home. It measures voltage with an AC to AC power adapter and current with a clip on CT sensor, making the setup quite safe as no high voltage work is needed. The energy monitor can calculate real power, apparent power, power factor, rms voltage, rms current. All the calculations are done in the digital domain on an Arduino. Step One – Gather Components You will need: 1x Arduino Voltage sensing electronics: 1x 9V AC-AC Power Adapter 1x 100kOhm resistor for step down voltage divider. 1x 10kOhm resistor for step down voltage divider. 2x 470kOhm (for voltage divider, any matching value resistor pair down to 10K) 1x 10uF capacitor Current sensing electronics 1x CT sensor SCT-013-000 1x Burden resistor 18 Ohms if supply voltage is 3.3V or 33 Ohms if supply voltage is 5V.
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 Top 10 DIY Arduino Projects and HOW-TO Tutorials! Arduino has been widely popular among hackers and DIY-addicts out there for modding/hacking things. For those of you just entering the Arduino world, here’s a bunch of great Arduino tutorials/projects that can help you jump-start your next project. 1) Did you know that you can program/flash your Arduino wirelessly? For those of you who are going to be making devices where the Arduino is hidden from easy access, read up on how you can program your Arduino wirelessly using Xigbee modules over at Lady Ada’s site. 2) Arduinome is a project the Monome for audio sequencers. 3) For energy eco-projects, you can refer to this great site on OpenEnergyMonitor, which uses Arduino and complete details are provided for making your own home energy monitor. 4) DIY Arduino Earthquake Seismic Detector can actually detect earthquakes, perhaps great for any project requiring sensing of vibrations and whatnot. 5) Need some resources on robots using Arduino? 9) The Magic Mirror is one of my all-time favorites.

Pinguy OS Fabriquer une éolienne pour moins de 40 € ? | Energethique C’est le défi qu’a relevé Max Robson, jeune étudiant de 22 ans. Son projet avait pour but de créer une éolienne vraiment pas chère avec des éléments de récupération. Cette éolienne pas chère est destinée selon lui à être utilisée dans les pays en voie de développement. Une éolienne DIY qui lui aura couté 20£, actuellement équivalent de 23€ et pas mal de pièces de récup, le petit alternateur d’une Vespa par exemple ou encore une batterie de vieille Ford Fiesta… Ce qui élève certainement déjà un peu le coût du tout et surtout il faut avoir les éléments à disposition, peut-être pas toujours le cas dans les pays en voie de développement auxquels il destine sa création. La petite bête développe une puissance de 11,3 W, ce n’est pas énorme mais c’est déjà ça de pris ! L’article complet du Daily Mail Be Sociable, Share! Parle de ce post à tes amis !
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.
