Smart Thermostat, Airing and Lights Control With Bluetooth

“A simple but useful Arduino project. Just connect your Arduino smart home and control the heater, airing, and lights via Bluetooth! IntrodutionAn intelligent thermostat routine controls the heater gas boiler, and the system switches my kitchen lights and my bathroom …

SUBZero - A Simple Network-Attached Storage Device

“An easy to use Raspberry Pi Zero USB file-level computer data storage server (frequently called Network-Attached Storage or NAS). Quite often I find myself on the go, in need of storing/sharing files locally with others without an accessible internet …

The LEGO Guardian

“Introduction This project has the intention to solve to prevent accidental death by stepping on LEGO bricks. How many times have we been barefoot in your house? Thinking about your future prospects, suddenly and without warning, you step on a …

Thermoelectric efficiency of quantum dots now characterizable

“Thermoelectric materials can convert temperature differences into electrical energy and vice versa. In nanodimensions, they are potentially useful for applications such as cooling microchips, or improving their energy efficiency in the form of nanoscale thermoelectric generators. Thermoelectric materials can convert …

Tiny Thermocouple Thermometer

“This project describes a thermocouple thermometer, capable of measuring temperatures up to +1350°C, using just an ATtiny85 and an OLED display. It uses the ATtiny85’s analogue-to-digital converter with a x20 gain option to measure the thermocouple voltage, and …

TINYGO - a GO compiler for small places

“TinyGo is a project to bring the Go programming language to microcontrollers and modern web browsers by creating a new compiler based on LLVM. You can compile and run TinyGo programs on several different microcontroller boards such as the BBC …

Transparent Graphical OLED Breakout Hookup Guide

“The future is here! You asked and we delivered - our Qwiic Transparent Graphical OLED Breakout allows you to display custom images on a transparent screen using either I2C or SPI connections. With Qwiic connectors it’s quick (ha ha) and …

Ultra-Low Power Chips Help Make Small Robots More Capable

“An ultra-low power hybrid chip inspired by the brain could help give palm-sized robots the ability to collaborate and learn from their experiences. Combined with new generations of low-power motors and sensors, the new application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) – which operates …

Unique TFT Shield for Arduino Uno (Start)

“Introduction This article is the first article, with which I would like to begin a story about the unique TFT shield designed for the Arduino Uno platform, which makes it possible to significantly expand the capabilities of Arduino Uno. Despite …

UTA researcher working to determine minimum energy use possible in lasers

“Inside massive data centers, electrical data interconnections consume huge amounts of electricity. But an alternative—semiconductor laser-based optical interconnects—offers an energy-efficient solution for the sustainable power consumption required to keep up with explosive data traffic growth. Weidong Zhou, an …
