Feather M0

At the Feather M0's heart is an ATSAMD21G18 ARM Cortex M0 processor, clocked at 48 MHz and at 3.3V logic, the same one used in the new Arduino Zero. This chip has a whopping 256K of FLASH (8x more than the Atmega328 or 32u4) and 32K of RAM (16x as much)! This chip comes with built in USB so it has USB-to-Serial program & debug capability built in with no need for an FTDI-like chip.

Animated LED Sand

“Simulated Glowy Physics! These LEDs interact with motion and looks like they’re affect by gravity. An Adafruit LED matrix displays the LEDs as little grains of sand which are driven by sampling an accelerometer with an Adafruit Feather. The …

Arduino based EEG Sleep Monitoring

“Following on from looking at commercial products for sleep monitoring using EEG, I thought I’d take a look at more DIY based approaches using some open source sensor boards and a basic microcontroller. This is quite a classic module …

TRICORDUINO - 3.0 True Scientific Tricorder

“This project describes the development of a multi-mode scanner platform, which can be described as a Scientific Tricorder. A few years ago, after taking my first contacts with embedded electronics, I decided it would be time to try building a …

Battery-Powered Image Logger

“Small battery-operated board with low-power image sensor that captures images at regular intervals and saves them on a memory card. I recently posted some of the work I was doing on twitter and I got an e-mail from someone I …

Gesture Sensing E-textiles

“After playing around with Freetouch to make a knitted fabric switch, it was found that the sensor reading varied depending on the type of interactions. For example, prodding the fabric resulted in a much lower sensor reading than grabbing the …

Build a Solar-Powered Weather Station

““How is the weather?” In modern times, for a reliable answer to that question, you’re much better off asking a machine than a human. Wouldn’t it be fun to build such a device yourself? With that in mind …

Mirroring Robot Movements with Packet Radios

“Use a couple of packet radio boards to mirror one robot’s movements in the other one from up to 500m away. Swarm Robots The idea of having a large number of robots doing tasks in unison is nothing new …

Send Secret Messages from 500m Away with Packet Radios

“Use a pair of packet radios to draw and then send pictures between the two devices without WiFi or Bluetooth. The Idea Reliance on certain wireless networks/protocols can add significant costs to a project, as well as limit how …

EPA UV Index Feed / IOT

“This little device pulls your local UV index from EPA and display the UV level in 5 different colors and also displays details on the OLED. UV 1-2 is Green, 3-5 is Yellow, 6-7 is Orange, 8-10 is Red, 11 …

LoRa Mesh Radio

“This is a fairly simple add-on for mobile phones to enable SMS-like messaging in a group when outside cell coverage, or in disaster scenarios. It utilises Semtech LoRa radios, for low-power/long-range communications. There are a lot of hardware …
