The Arduino Ethernet shield is pretty awesome and can, for example, allow a mini webserver to run off the board displaying sensor data. Although not outrageously expensive, at $45, it’s still $15 more than an Arduino Uno itself. There does…
Something somewhat useful, and the main reason I started playing the the DS1307 real time clock, was to be able to accurately control events based on the current time. In the same way you can get a simple plug-in timer…
I figured that if I was going to end up building some kind of aquarium controller / monitoring system based around the Arduino, I’d need a way of keeping track of time. Either to automate certain events like turning lights…
With college classes done for the summer, I’ve gotten back in tinkering with electronics a little. I had trouble with my Basic Stamp 2 after bouncing around Alaska and being boxed up for a couple of years, so I decided…
