Ardoscope on the way

I have a new project on the way. It will be a little bigger than my last ones thus it will take a little more time.

I only say one word, Ardoscope, try to find out what that could be ;)

WebVisitors blinker

I already wrote my first Arduino program. It’s really simple but fun :)

What it does is that every time somebody visits my website, a LED light blinks once in my room, and I get a warm feeling of a visitor ;)

How to do that:

  • Burn this code to your Arduino:
  • Connect a LED light to pin 12 and ground it.
  • Connect your Arduino to your web server through USB.
  • Log in to your web server and type: “sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0”.
  • Add this PHP code to your website header:
  • Enjoy! :)

In case this doesn’t work; try to solve your problem or comment this article and I will try to help you.

Arduino Diecimila

Arduino

Today I got my new Arduino Diecimila that I ordered yesterday. That was a quick delivery.

I like the simple Arduino programming language. It’s much easier to program than C but still as functional as C.

For those who don’t know, Arduino is a physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer. Currently, shipping versions can be purchased pre-assembled; hardware design information is available for those who would like to assemble an Arduino by hand.

Prepare now, more fun projects are to come ;)
