Wifi weatherstation kit with Live Graphs

Description: 

The devices which connect to internet has been shrinking at very fast pace, Now its got to the size which fits on your fingers and can not only connect to the internet but as also do some sensing.

ESP8266 chipset has made waves since it got introduced, Due to its small size and capablities. This is the first generation of IOT technologies which is going to change the way we live.

We use this powerful tiny module to build a complete WeatherStation kit, which collects Temperature, Humidity and Barometer readings. Not only does it collect the data, It stores it in the cloud for you to watch the data in the form of live Graphs from any device be it your mobile, PC or tablet. Isnt that cool....

With the purchase of the kit we give you a unique key, which is used to provide access to the cloud storage to store it as well as download the data.

FAQ

1. Why is the 9v adapter needed? Can't I power with Arduino's 5V?

A. The Esp8266 can draw upwards of 300mAmps, The Arduino power supply would struggle to power the ESP and the Arduino and cause brownout errors. For this reason having a separate power adapter helps.

    Sonar kit, build your own submarine hunter..

    Description: 

    Sonar has always been a fascinating subject, the green dash board and flickering dots representing enemy planes and submarines has never stopped fascinating the hobbyist.


    We present a kit which helps you build your own sonar and it gives you a nice cool green dashboard application to run on your PC to see the enemy as the sonar sees it, in light green blips

    So what is a SONAR afterall?

    Sonar (short for SOund Navigation And Ranging) is a technique used to detect objects and measure distances underwater by emitting sound waves and analyzing their echoes. It is used for navigation, communication, and detecting objects underwater.

    You can have this kit mounted on your RC car, hobbyist Mars Rover or even the corner of your room to see every moving object. The kit will give you an insight of how sound can be used to see, just like a bat and dolphin does.How the speed of sound and the time it takes to travel is translated into a visual image for the user to see on his dashboard.


    This kit gets a close to the feel of how the submarine operator saw moving enemy targets and saw objects far beyond their eyes could see.

    The kit comes with all the hardware needed to get it completely going and a 3 step tutorial which walks you through the process of setting it up. Once the kit is setup, you are free to experiment with the source code and come up with your own cool hacks.


    3 Step tutorial

    1. Linking the Arduino, Servo and Sonar

    2. Setting up Processing

    3. Getting it all together

    Wireless Sensor and Data Logger kit

    Description: 


    What can this box do?

    This kit takes measurement of its two precision temperature sensors, and logs the data to a SD card. Both real time readings and stored data can be sent wirelessly to a PC.

    How is it useful?

    One of the two temperature sensors is located inside the box, and the other one outside on a 1.2 meter cable. By locating the two temperature sensors in two different areas (e.g. indoor and under floor). We can see the temperature variations of the two areas over time. One good use case is to measure how good your home insulation is. Having said that, this kit is designed with DIY in mind. Extra sensors can be added very easily, and soldering is minimum because of the use of the sensor shield. By adding a humidity sensor, light sensor, wind speed sensor etc, this box can be turned into a wireless weather station!

    What is included in this kit?

    This wireless sensor and data logger kit embodies a few very cool technologies: Real Time Clock, SD Card read/write, Bluetooth and one wire digital temperature sensor. Not only can it be easily turned into a general purpose wireless sensor logger, it also is a fantastic educational kit after all. This kit includes all the neccessary bits to construct a fully working wireless sensor logger, the package includes:

    • Arduino Mega 2560
    • Arduino Mega sensor and servo shield
    • USB cable
    • Real Time Clock module (onboard temperature sensor incl.)
    • SD card module
    • Kingston SD Card 1 GB
    • Bluetooth module
    • Temperature sensor
    • Waterproof case
    • Cable gland x 2
    • Some wires and accessories

    Follow this 3-step tutorial to assemble this amazing kit.

    Step 1: Interfacing Real Time Clock and Temperature sensor to Arduino Mega

    Step 2: Interfacing SD Card Module to Arduino Mega

    Step 3: Interfacing Bluetooth Module to Arduino Mega
