Do you want to make a web-enabled on / off switch for that power hungry RAID array living in your closet? Or maybe you want to build your very own version of the Twittering Cat Toy? Then you should check out the Arduino Ethernet Shield from the Maker Shed!
This video featuring Alasadair Allen, author of iOS Sensor Apps with Arduino, is a wonderful demonstration of what’s possible using the Maker Shed’s RedPark Breakout Pack for Arduino and iOS.
What happens in a shared space like a hackerspace, where you could have as many as fifty people passing through the communal kitchen in a given day? All those cups start to pile up quickly, I’m sure. Not one to let things get out of hand, London Hackspace member Tom created a solution to combat the problem. True to hackerspace form, he combined different open source technologies to alert the members in the space when a dish has been left in the sink for more than a few minutes.
