Nanode thermometer
I first heard about Nanode (a low cost board that brings together Arduino and ethernet) via Andy Piper, then a few days later I had the fortune of seeing its creator Ken Boak speak at London’s Open Source Hardware Users Group (OSHUG). The week afterwards Ken was at the excellent Monkigras event, and did a short [...]

Arduino Simon – a little more
I wanted to add some diagrams to my original post, but didn’t have the right tools at hand. After some digging around I found a mention from @psd of Fritzing. I’m pretty happy with the results: I’ve put the Fritzing file up onto github, and also created a project on the Fritzing site.

After a little pondering Simon came out as a worthwhile challenge. Back in the 80s I’d written a version [...]

If you don’t already know what Raspberry Pi is then take a look at the Wikipedia entry and their web site. Their mission to recreate the experiences of 8 bit computing that shaped the lives and careers of my generation is laudable, and I’m sure they will achieve great success. That’s just the start though. [...]

Hardware hacking
I missed the start of PubSub Huddle on Friday due to the catastrophic failure of the local railway system. Luckily I can now catch up using the podcasts. Once I got there I spotted Andy Piper tinkering with the Arduino kit he had been using to demo some stuff with MQTT. I was inspired. I [...]
