Mike McRoberts sent me a cool RGB LED Scrolling Clock project based on Boarduino. Mike McRoberts writes:
This is an 8×8 RGB LED module, being driven by 4x
74HC595N Shift Registers controlled by a Boarduino (Arduino clone that can be used on a breadboard). The time data is from a DS1307 Real Time Clock IC.The display is outputting the time and then the date and cycling through 7 different colours. This took me about 5 hours in total to put together and code.This is really a test for another clock project I have in mind.
otaviousp a member on instructables will show you how to control things over the internet using Arduino board and an Arduino Ethernet Shield. In this example, otaviousp demonstrated how simple to control LEDs over the internet using Arduino which is emulated as a Web Server and listen for command to turn on or off the LED. It is a great example to learn to control another things. [link]
Here is a great Arduino project for Twitter users. Arduino reads ambient temperature then sending mean value for displaying on Twitter . This project using Arduino Duemilanove, Arduino Ethernet Shield, three temperature sensors(LM35) [link]
Mikrokopters is a popular R/C toy which is a multi-copters that use I2C bus to control the electronic speed controller(ESC). 13brv3, a member on rcgroups developed this I2C to PWM converter using Arduino mini to use with his Turnigy Plush 18A ESCs with 128 throttle steps available. [link]
Richard Parker shows you “How to build a web connected gas meter with Arduino” and displaying gas usage in real-time on Pachube which is a service that enables you to connect, tag and share real time sensor data from objects, devices, buildings and environments around the world.
The main sensor on this unit is a photo-reflector, which is a fancy name for an infrared LED and an infrared sensor in one assembly. When the infrared sensor detects a reflection from the infrared LED, the strength of that reflection is fed back into the Arduino.
