Gaggia Espresso PID Arduino Mod

Gaggia Espresso PID Arduino Mod
The goal of this project is to create a computer interface to a Gaggia Espresso machine by replacing the factory thermal switches with a PID controller and the “steam” and “pump” toggle switches with a LCD/button menu system.[more]

Sleep Tracker

Sleep Tracker
Anita writes:
The length of the sleep cycle varies for each person, and averages about 90 minutes. I wanted to try to measure the length of mine, without having to wake up and check a clock. I also wanted to get an idea of how much I naturally move around during the night, and what patterns I might find therein.

Using the GPS module with Arduino

Using the GPS module with Arduino
This example shows how to connect the GPS module to an Arduino board and watch the NMEA sentences.The GPS module for Arduino is a small electronic circuit that allows to connect to your Arduino board to get position and altitude, as well as speed, date and time on UTC (Universal Time Coordinated). It uses the standard NMEA protocol (www.nmea.org) to transmit the position data via serial port. [more]

Arduino with 8×8 LED Matrix

Arduino with 8×8 LED Matrix
Here is an experiment with an 8×8 LED matrix, driven by a MAX7219 IC, controlled through an Arduino micro-controller board. A custom PCB has been made by Tan from DinoTech to tidy up all the wires connecting the LED matrix and the IC. It comes with a separate 12V power supply, in order not to drain everything from the Arduino board.[more]
