Our solar and wind power monitor needs the ability to save historical data so that we can track watt hours and amp hours daily and weekly. A SD card provides enough capacity, and allows us to easily download the data
I highly recommend you download Sparkfun’s Inventors Guide. It will give you a lot of valuable information on how to use the Arduino, trigger some neat ideas of your own, and Sparkfun is a valuable resource for components and sample
The Arduino seems the ideal platform for making your own medical monitoring system. Your temperature, heart rate, respirations, blood pressure, weight and O2 content of the blood are all measurable and loggable. Here are a few links to get you
In this webcast, Make Editor Brian Jepson introduces the basics of Arduino, the open source electronics prototyping platform. You’ll learn what Arduino is, where to get one, and how to connect electronic components to it. You’ll also learn how to
Security system sensors such as motion detectors, reed switches, pressure mats, glass-break detectors, infra-red beams, and conductive film can be very handy for all sorts of things including home automation systems, interactive art installations – and sometimes even security systems!
Carlos from Brazil has designed a pH meter using the Arduino. Although not available for sale yet (unless someone can help him get a full version of Eagle), all the code and associated files are available for download. pHduino is
