New home monitoring setup – part 1

The second post of the week about open source home monitoring.
Part – 1 means that for now you can read just a long list of pieces of hardware.
But then: home monitoring and X10 are the more interesting projects around.

waiting for part 2!

Poorman’s oscilloscope (with Arduino + Processing) AND Arduinoscope

If you are looking for visual representation of an analog signal using Arduino and Processing then you might download these skecthes.

Oscilloscope.pde	1.88 KB
oscilloscope.h	2.92 KB

The if you are looking for a more rieliable and debugged sketch / program doing preatty much the same thing, then the Arduinoscope if for you.
Try both. Customize. Enjoy.

Arduino Helicopter Game

Wow. Really interesting helicopter game with several nice feautures.

Specifications:

• just under 8kb (so it should fit a cheap Atmega-8)
• Speed and block size grow
• Still a little glitchy, weird artifacts, is anyone able to fix them?
• Day and Night mode, hold the button when game over for night mode, gentle press for day
• Score build in, post your highscore in the comments

To play:

• Connect a KS0108 LCD as described in the library’s page
• Connect a button with a pull-down resistor to pin 12
• Make sure the KS0108 library is available
• Upload the sketch
• Enjoy!

Download it here…

nice job Dave.

TwypeWriter (Twitter Monitoring Typewriter)

Nice Oomlout wat to have a twitter-related typewriter. Arduino (+ethernet shield) searches for a keyword and then physically prints the results for everyone in the office.
Code ready.

Good work!

The Arduino Eye Shield

The Arduino Eye Shield by David Chatting is a circuit board that can be plugged on top of the Arduino allowing it to interpret analogue video (PAL or NTSC) from a camera or other source. It gives the Arduino the power of sight. I can see allot of potential for interesting live video manipulation here

Microprinter RSS Arduino Driven

Nice step by step project to display feeds on a microprinter.

The concept of Microprinting as described by Tom Taylor is “an experiment in physical activity streams and notification, using a repurposed receipt printer connected to the web”. Using this and the works of others as inspiration, I set about making my own Internet connected printer.

Before starting the project, I hadn’t had any previous experience of building electronic circuits, and it had been over 10 years since I had last picked up a soldering iron. Unperturbed, I set out and acquired everything I needed for the project:

• An old receipt printer – I have a Citizen CBM-231 from ebay
• An Arduino board, bread board and jump wires (from Cool Components)
• An Arduino Ethernet shield (also from Cool Components)
• A MAX233 Chip and serial plug (from Maplins)

The serial output of the Arduino board isn’t natively compatible with the printer – you need to run the signal through the MAX233 chip to transform the output to the correct voltage.
