8230;Making Things with Light. Fast Updates (frame rates) of Color Effect G35 Grids →. Arduino-Based WiFi Lawn Sprinkler Controller. October 18, 2013. This post describes a project I undertook to build a home-grown, Arduino-based, WiFi-enabled lawn sprinkler controller. Well, a while ago my controller died again (I think I’ve gone through three of them now),. Tethered Arduino UNO sprinkler controller and Triac board. So I decided to build something better. My first iteration was an Arduino. As I thought ...

This is a great project! Http:/ www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-as-low-cost-HD-surveillance-camera/? I went a little further by adding an IR LED array that I happened to have lying around (from previous repairs projects). It is similar to this one – http:/ www.dx.com/p/31632.

8230;Making Things with Light. Bluetooth HC-05 and Connection Status Detection. Light Dimming Using Ardiuno with Inverters →. April 28, 2015. OK, since my first post on the ESP8266 and some replies I posted there as I made progress getting it to work, I’ve now had a chance to play with it a bit more. For example), you could end up messing up timing within the core firmware that controls the WiFi stack. So far, I have no evidence of this, it is mainly conjecture. I2C libraries are compiled into the latest...

8230;Making Things with Light. Experimenting with the ESP8266. ESP8266 Update →. Bluetooth HC-05 and Connection Status Detection. April 22, 2015. So, I found these cheap HC-05 and HC-06 Bluetooth-to-serial modules out there, which is nearly perfect. One problem – I bought one, and it wound up being an HC-06. Turns out, the State pin, which is tied to GPIO09 on the HC-06 ‘daughterboard’, and is supposed to go high when the bluetooth pairs,. Doesn’t work on the HC-06. Oh, and by the way, the opposite (AT P...
