The mood is based on measuring his temperature and changing the color of the RGB LED to the its respective color. As in a mood ring, I set different colors for different temperatures. The temperatures coincides with mood state that the person is in.
Ray connected an Arduino to a remote controlled outlet, allowing him to to do basic home automation on the cheap.
This month’s Latest in Arduino episode is out. This episode features the Arduino ethernet, I solder up the mini fume extractor, and we discuss a new book about Arduino robots.
Check out Flickr user Rumtopf’s fancy take on the reverse geocache box. For those who don’t know, a reverse geocache is a box that unlocks itself when the GPS sensor inside senses that it’s in a specific spot on the globe. Rumtopf used a snazzy doorbell button to wake an Arduino, which checks the GPS and displays the distance from that spot on an LCD. He also used a magnetic child safety lock as a backdoor to access the inside of the briefcase in case of malfunction.
Host James Floyd Kelly discusses a the Arduino ethernet, solders up the mini fume extractor, and reviews a new Arduino book.
