This is a project to develop and build open source energy monitoring, control and analysis tools for energy efficiency and distributed renewable microgeneration. These technologies are at the heart of sustainable energy systems, monitoring and controlling how energy flows between the various parts of the system. These tasks can be achieved using a low cost, modular, open source microcontroller system known as an Arduino, powerful and flexible enough to form the basis of a wide range of systems. PV installation monitors, solar hot water controllers, household energy monitors etc, can be assembled from a selection of modules linked together with an Arduino and configured using simple to use software libraries.
The electronics and software detailed here measures quantities related to DC electrical energy production from micro-renewables. Including: Voltage, Current and Power.
Our first open source Homeland Security non-lethal weapon project - The "THE BEDAZZLER A Do-it-yourself Handheld LED-Incapacitator". After attending a conference where the $1 million "sea-sick flashlight" named "THE DAZZLER" was demonstrated by the US Dept. of Homeland Security we decided to create our own version.
RAD is a framework for programming the Arduino physcial computing platform using Ruby. RAD converts Ruby scripts written using a set of Rails-like conventions and helpers into C source code which can be compiled and run on the Arduino microcontroller.
Simple Serial Communication
An Intro to Flash+Arduino
This page is dedicated to a generic protocol called Firmata for communicating with microcontrollers from software on a host computer. It is intended to work with any host computer software package. Right now there is a matching object in a number of langu
:: Arduino.as Actionscript Class :: ( *updated for Arduino04)
a simple class that makes it easier to connect Flash and Arduino. very simple to instantiate and implement.
