Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 The PLD features a multipurpose connector mainly dedicated to plugging sensors. This video shows how easy it is to configure a PLD an run an application for monitoring temperatures. Back us on Kikstarter … Do you want to know more about HL2, HL2 Panorama and HL2 PLD ? Check this video Thanks for watching
Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 HL2 PLD may be used for safety applications too. In this configuration, the PLD is able to detect movements up to 7 m away within and almost 90° view angle. It features a PIR (Passive Infra Red) sensor from Panasonic. This sensors is available in different sizes depending on the required range; the enclosures […]
Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Using the HL2 PLD (Place and Leave Device) is easy and usefull. We ran the earliest tests on… soil moisture. The reason why we chose this one is that I have always liked to have a green plant in my office and this one might last longer than the others. Because it is fitted […]
Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Dear arduinoos followers, You may wonder why the production line of arduinoos went to a stall along the last weeks… Holidays ? Well it sounds reasonable and logical, however except for a few days of leave here and there (actually in Lyon, Annecy, Saint Martin des Baleines and Val-Andre) during summer time this is not […]
Part 1, 2 In the previous version, the command parser is using one single alpha character as an opcode while the argument is computed on the fly using simple arithmetic. In this version, the opcode is extended to (almost) any number of characters and the argument is stored in a vector which is then converted […]
Part 1, 2 Many applications require some interaction with the user. And one of the most basic manner to interact with an application is to use the serial communication port. Using Serial.print command is probably one the earliest command we all used to debug applications. The proposed command parser uses Serial.available() and Serial.read() functions and […]
Could DSP produce some sort of modern art on some occasion ? Do you want to reproduce that ? Well, here is the recipe … Get a function generator and set the signal pattern to ramp, sweep frequencies from 80 to 90 Hz with 0.1 Hz steps every second. Connect the output to PlainDSP* and starting […]
Part 1, 2, 3 The early tests presented in this series of posts were dealing with a limited number of data. The risk exist that a long term repeated pattern may not be seen using these statistical tools. Here is an other approach to testing the randomness of data. It consists in creating a black […]
Part 1, 2, 3 Here is a noisy signal sampled at 100 kHz with an Arduino UNO. The signal has 8 bits of resolution and the divider bridge of the final amplifying stage has been set so that the ADC range matches (without exceeding) the input signal range. Here is the illustration of a vector of 1024 […]
Part 1, 2, 3 As I was stumbling the web looking for advanced information on thermal noise, I found some very interesting papers on RNGs, aka Random Number Generators. These devices feature hardware components which are responsible for a generating unpredictable random numbers ! This is a very interesting matter as it involves physics, electronics, […]
