Finally, after waiting for more than six months I got my on hands on a Raspberry Pi (in fact 4 of them 😉 ) Ever since I heard about Raspberry Pi, I wanted to try one, especially to compare it with an Arduino and finally the day has arrived 🙂 Buying Raspberry Pi in India […]
The dates for my second batch of Arduino Robotics workshop is confirmed now. It is going to be on Jan 26th and 27th. It is going to be a 2 full day workshop, like last time and I will also be providing the components needed for the workshop. You can find the course content, fees […]
I recently found an interesting use of the many Arduino boards that I have. You can use your Arduino board as a bridge to connect serial devices to the computer, without even writing a sketch. How cool is that? 😉 Before I tell you how you can do it, let me explain about virtual COM […]
TI’s Stellaris LaunchPad board, which I reviewed recently comes with an out of the box demo program called qs-rgb. This program allows you to test the LaunchPad board and also try out some of the features of the LM4F120 MCU that is present in the board. Getting the program into the board When you buy […]
I finally received the Stellaris LMF120 LaunchPad from TI, which I ordered in September. I haven’t started playing with it yet, but thought of posting about my thoughts of the board after having the first look. Contents of the kit As promised by TI, I had the following components in the kit The launchpad board […]
Yesterday, I gave a talk at foss.in about robotics and how you can build your own robot using open source hardware like Arduino. About Foss.in Foss.in is a Free and Open Source Software event, which happens annually. Following is the actual quote from the foss.in website FOSS.IN is one of the world’s largest Free and […]
One of my favorite Arduino shield is the USB Host Shield by circuits @ home. Both the hardware and the software of this shield are excellent and well written. I was playing around with the shield by connecting a USB Missile Launcher and had a closer look at the shield. I realized when I had […]
While cleaning my room the other day, I stumbled upon a couple of old toys which I bought from US for myself. (Who said you have to grow up 😉 ) I was going through the packs and found an old USB Missile Launcher and thought of putting it into some good use. USB Missile […]
Today, I spoke about Arduino and its different capabilities at Mobile internals workshop conducted by CIS. The talk discussed the different ways by which we can use Arduino to interface with different external devices. It was very similar to the talk that I gave at board hackthon, but I have added additional details about Leanardo […]
Ian Lesnet, founder of Dangerous Prototypes will be giving a talk titled “Profit by Sharing: Anatomy of an Open Source Hardware Business” this Wednesday (Oct 24th) at CIS office, in Bangalore. About Ian and Dangerous Prototypes Ian builds a new open hardware project every month at DangerousPrototypes.com. Copies of the projects are available from Seeed […]
