Light Sensors

A Light Sensor generates an output signal indicating the intensity of light by measuring the radiant energy that exists in a very narrow range of frequencies basically called “light”, and which ranges in frequency from “Infrared” to “Visible” up to

The Arduino Wifi Shield is finally here!

Finally, a TCP/IP WIFI “co-processor”. Takes all the load off the arduino, and can run independently. From http://arduino.cc/blog/2012/08/16/the-arduino-wifi-shield-is-now-available/ We’ve been working for a while on this new wifi shield for Arduino that is quite different from what you can find
