I just finished the design of the circuit that will make Ardoscope come true. Still without a guess about what Ardoscope could be? ;)

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
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 ;)
