Sparkfun is sending us their DS1307 Real Time Clock Module. This will add date and time functions to our Thermostat / Weather Station, for logging and set back functions, and time/date display. http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=99 Become the Maker you were born to
We ordered a Barometric Pressure Sensor (BMP085) from Sparkfun, And the Protoshield (piggyback prototyping board) from Hacktronics is on it’s way. We have a software library that enables us to run two I2C data buses so we can communicate with
A logic probe is a useful tool for troubleshooting digital circuits like the ones found in Arduino projects. You could buy one, like on the left, or make your own. Here is one of our DIY favorites: http://pminmo.com/troubleshoot/lprobe.htm Become the
Living in an rv, we have 3 water tanks; fresh, grey, and black. The typical rv sensors can get goofy when crudded up with debris and residue. I’d like the Arduino to accurately determine the level in my tanks. Here
We are adding a second temp/humidity sensor (outdoor) to our digital thermostat / weather station. It arrived today from MisensO, and they are helping us with the code for reading two I2C sensors with the same bus address. Stay tuned
Rumor has it there is to be a announcement this coming weekend of a whole new upgrade in hardware and software. Not an incremental upgrade, but a big jump in the evolution of the platform. It’s said to be mostly
