APDuino Project – Custom Monitoring without Coding

davide.vellutoNovember 15th, 2012

 
[srejbi] shares a new, programming-free, API-based way to programming Arduino: the APDuino project (minimum hw requirements: Arduino Mega 2560 + W5100 EtherShield). The Apduino relates to a peculiar approach towards Arduino that I noticed in the last years: using Arduino and making things without coding. This is a good thing for people that can’t code, but has to be simpler than learning code itself.

The APDuino Project provides a turn-key software solution for building custom monitoring and automation systems with custom rulesets (featuring expression evaluator with access to sensor and control arrays), cron-like scheduler, remote access and management via HTTP, SD and online logging and more…

All *without* programming (if using supported hardware components) … allowing DIY’ers to build their own automation systems much quicker and easier.

— The image collage attached is showing parts of 1 realization I built (I have 4 completely different systems running, all using the same software :)) — This one pictures an aquaponics monitoring system with 16 physical sensors (lots of 1-wire DS18B20’s chained, DHT-11, photoresistors, HY-SRF05 with mechanically inverted reading surface providing tank level monitoring, radio-controlled sockets allow pump and fan controls).

Other systems feature components such as vibration detector, pH probe, BMP085,DS1307 RTC.

    You actually make it appear really easy with your presentation however
    I to find this matter to be really something which I feel I’d by no means understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely wide for me. I’m taking a look ahead for your subsequent publish, I’ll attempt to get the hang of it!

    I precisely wanted to thank you very much once again. I do not know the things I could possibly have done without these tips shared by you regarding this field. Previously it was an absolute fearsome issue in my position, but discovering the specialized mode you resolved that made me to leap with gladness. I am just happy for the assistance and even have high hopes you find out what a great job your are accomplishing instructing some other people using a web site. I know that you haven’t encountered any of us.

    Thank you all for your comments! I’m happy for your reception of the idea, and though the project has a lot to go (not only) with documentation (work in progress, as everything else), is that the Arduino Blog is ‘speaking’ from my heart:
    “This is a good thing for people that can’t code, but has to be simpler than learning code itself.” — this is the goal, indeed. 😉

    Arduino is so cool, we must share it’s usefulness with everyone! (Everyone skilled enough to identify and define his needs for a monitoring and automation system. Pro’s can still write their own code…)

    So please check back to the project regularly for more information (especially eespanacams) and do not hesitate to share your thoughts!

    Thank you!
    -George
