Check out this cool device that can monitor a cat’s water dish and also twits it to Twitter.
1. Arduino waits for serial communication from computer connected by USB. Upon request from the computer, it will take a water level reading and send it back. 2. The computer, an NSLU2 reflashed with Debian, sends a request every hour at “0″ minute for the current water level. It takes that level and creates a text file, the text file is then uploaded to t
Here’s a cool blog I came across on our new wagg.it site. It’s a custom application that will send email containing current external IP address to a specified email address automatically at set intervals.
Why do you need this?
I used to work as a network administrator at a company and had issues with DDNS (dynamic DNS) addresses where the domain name can change. We u
Here’s a cool project that you can control your LCD with ethernet.
The simple “switch on/off a relay” circuit which was the only function provided by the avr web server until now did not require HTML-forms. I used simply 2 URLs http://baseurl/password/1 for switching on and http://baseurl/password/0 for switching off. This does not work anymore for the display as we want to type a text into a web page which should then be shown on the display. What is needed is a needed is a proper decoding of HTML form data.

Ah ha! Here’s a cool AVR LED Clock you can make that also syncs itself with the NTP time server via ethernet! (We are going to have to make this too…)
Here’s a detailed instructions on building your own skype server for your home phone system.
One irritating feature of Skype is that it must be running on a computer for you to make and receive calls. That is, when your computer is off, Skype doesn’t work. Moreover, when you run Skype on the computer you use day in and day out, Skype’s performance (call quality, reliability and so forth) can suffer if you are doing other things that deprive it of the
Yes, now we can go about 100 times faster I’d say since we are no longer sharing our website with bunch of other websites, we got own web server! It took 6 hours for me to move the site from shared host on bluehost.com to a dedicated server elsewhere.
Thanks to help from the tech support, I was able to troubleshoot the problem. When using phpMyAdmin to restore your WordPress database, sometimes you will get errors if you try to restore the whole database with one file.
The best way I found was to take couple table at a time when backing up or “Exporting
Here’s a cool DIY on ethernet enabled servo motor control using CUBLOC CB220, XPORT, and Pololu Micro Serial Servo Controller by Thomas Edwards.
He also uses an Python Internet server to read the servo position information.
This was done in about 1 hour…pretty impressive.
