Arduino The Documentary

Jan 112011

In the past I had made a leap into the world of open hardware, and i had wrote some about Arduino, one of the best projects in this field.

I’m interested because what happened in the world with open source software is beginning now in the hardware world, and the Arduino project is an excellent example of this.

But enough if you’re curious I suggest you go and watch this excellent documentary.

Arduino Serial to Ethernet using an NSLU2

Here is another option for getting your Arduino (or other PIC) connected to your network (ethernet) – use an old NSLU2!

The NSLU2 and Arduino both talk TTL, but the NSLU2 is 3.3v and Arduino is 5v. Simple fix – add a resistor!

Adding Ethernet, WiFi and Other Communications to Your Arduino (Or Other PIC) – Including the NSLU2

Author: John Smitty

The Arduino is a small programmable device that can hold a small program and perform tasks such as reading temperature sensors, turning on or off switches, and can even serve as the ‘brain’ for a robot. I have used the Arduino (actually freeduino) for projects related to HVAC and hydroponics automation.

Usually I work only with the software, I’m not an expert of the hardware, but the excellent presentation by Riccardo Lemmi made me want to read a bit of material on the world of open hardware in general and Arduino in particular. Open source hardware ( OSHW ) consists of physical artifacts of technology designed [...]
