WiFi Enabled Whole House Power Meter

The Open Hardware web community has made plenty of examples about power monitoring and consumption knowledge: from ladyada’s tweet-a-watt to Jarv’s Home power Monitoring. [Greg] shares code & circuits on his own power monitoring system based on Wifi Communication. First things first – this project is a blatant and obvious rip-off of John Jarvis’ power […]

Introducing Squirt, The Water Gun RobotIntroducing Squirt, The Water Gun RobotIntroducing Squirt, The Water Gun Robot

Squirt is an autonomous robot which can communicate with an Android phone. Optionally, the phone can be used as a controller to drive the robot. Squirt’s purpose is to water plants and chase away raccoons. It’s also a technology demonstration to prove the feasibility of using a smart phone to control small irrigation and well […]

Freakduino-Chibi, An Arduino-based Board For Wireless Sensor Networking Freakduino-Chibi, An Arduino-based Board For Wireless Sensor Networking Freakduino-Chibi, An Arduino-based Board For Wireless Sensor Networking

      [Akiba] from FreakLabs presented some days a go a cool mix between an Arduino and a chibi board: Chibi means “midget” in Japanese and I felt that it was an appropriate name for this wireless protocol stack. It wasn’t meant to be a fancy, mesh routing, auto-discovery, standardized device profile type of […]

  […]This PayPal vending machine on exhibit at the PayPal X Innovate 2010 developers conference was created by Ray Tanaka and his crew at PayPal Labs. They hacked together the multi-part system using a mechanical candy dispenser, a couple of Arduino Duemilanove, a WiShield, relay, proximity sensor, and LED display. The end result allows you […]
