Controlling Lighting with Motion Sensors and SSR’s
In my never ending quest to save energy, I decided to connect Motion Sensors (more accurately “Passive Infra Red” or PIR) to an Arduino, and having that control my lighting through an SSR. This is a good way to make sure … Continue reading
Arduino & Android Integration
I’m working on a project for a friend of mine, which requires a Arduino to be connected to an Android device. The Android is the display and control interface for the Arduino, displaying data from the Arduino, pin status, and sending control … Continue reading
Remote Control Your Home, with a TV Remote
I wanted the ability to use a TV Remote to turn on and dim lights, change the thermostat for heating and cooling, even lock/unlock a door. Of course, everything looks like an Arduino project for me, so I scavenged the … Continue reading
PID Control with the Arduino
There are times when a feedback loop is helpful to prevent overshoot or wild oscillations of a process, whether temperature, motion, or other type of system. A common solution is a proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller). With this Arduino solution, you tell … Continue reading
Building a Arduino Based Weather Station
One of our interests is weather monitoring. It seems like a natural thing for a ham radio operator to be interested in, so we applied our micro-controller expertise and came up with the following project. In it’s current version, it … Continue reading

Monitoring Power Consumption / Production
Sunday morning musings.. many of the past posts were all about how we might ‘devine’ the direction of the wind. We DIYers build our houses with thoughts of such things. But what follows are tools and knowledge we might add … Continue reading

Monitoring and controlling devices, with an embedded microcontroller and web server.
Introduction by George B. Why I think you need consider making the time for Steve’s project? As we study small generators, we learn that one of the larger mistakes we can make is buying one too big. I use the … Continue reading
