Let s share our projects

Awesome project cartesianco.com

The best way to create an AdHoc setup with this setup arduino + RN-XV + XBeeShield is to use this code (to be used also with e-Health Sensor Platform V2.0 for Arduino and Raspberry Pi from cooking hacks )

void setup(){

Serial.begin(9600);
delay(500);
Serial.print(“$$$”);check();
Serial.print(“apmode your_SSID 02\r”);check();
Serial.print(“save\r”);check();
Serial.print(“exit\r”);check();
delay(1000);
}

just add this to be able to write UDP packets

Serial.print(“set ip remote 8888\r”);
Serial.print(“set ip proto 0x1\r”);

use in the loop:

Serial.print(“whateveryouwant”);

to be followed

Pushing for open source hardware in science should be a priority. DIY communauty can help.

Excellent article in Nature about that: http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v10/n7/full/nmeth.2554.html

Very usefull to centralize commands of remotely controlable devices.

http://www.cooking-hacks.com/index.php/documentation/tutorials/control-hvac-infrared-devices-from-the-internet-with-ir-remote/#ir-remote-arduino

Just get a useless remote control, open it and take out the IR led. I used also a IR receiver from a videoprojector and build the setup described in the link. I was able to record an reproduce IR commands to a LG air conditioning systmen and a Samsung TV. Just make sure to point the LED towards the receiver to avoid wasting too much time debugging for nothing.

Raspebrry Pi SD card Image (8 Go) containing

• Debian weedy
• Apache 2.0 php 5
• Hardware wifi Dongle Netgear N150 WNA1100 directly plugged into the USB port of the Pi
• login Pi passwd raspberry

everything is working fine http://thonegger.com/dir/backup.imgComments:

• No external USB hub required
• Upload the image with Flashnul https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Installation_Media#The_Flashnul_Way
• Just need to recompile the kernel to have the RTL8188CUS module inside (http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6256&start=375)
