One of the new features of Arduino1.6.6 is the ability to plot data. In this example, I have taken a DHT-11 temperature sensor, and I’m sending the data to the serial plotter (found on the Tools menu). You can only

The typical LCD used with an Arduino has 16 pins. only 6 of them have to use a I/O port on the Arduino. But what if you could get that down to two I/O pins, and still have those pins

46 years ago today was the first remote transmission between two computers using TCP/IP. You have come a long way baby! In the glow of a green monochrome screen deep in the bowels of the computer science department at UCLA,

The MCP23017 is a very useful chip. This I2C device can be wired for 8 unique addresses, and offers 16 inputs, 16 outputs, or 8 of each. A one stop chip for all needs. You can talk directly to the

As a network engineer, I never go anywhere without my Ethernet cable tester. That and a audible cable finder (fox & hound) are invaluable for finding and testing cable pairs. Today I’m showcasing a Arduino Ethernet cable tester. This tester

The Arduino UNO (and 328 clones) has the ability to report the rail voltage and temperature of the chip. You don’t need any additional wiring or sensors, just the Arduino itself. The temperature is not very accurate, and reports in
