Need More Power?

Sarribas

The Arduino platform is accessible, inexpensive and an excellent gateway into the world of micro-controllers.

 

The Problem:

 

The element14 community is a hotbed of innovation and it's in the very nature of engineers to constantly progress, forging ever more elaborate projects and pushing their equipment to the limit. While the Arduino is an excellent piece of kit for hobbyists and beginning engineers, you may find your latest project requires more power than it can provide.

 

The Solution:

 

element14 saves the day! Our range of Arduino compatible development boards provide you with an affordable and flexible way to realise the most demanding of projects! Featuring Arduino compatible headers, impressive specifications and a wealth of connectivity options, they allow you to push your Arduino based projects to the next level.

    I would use EmbeddedPi as a universal platform (Raspberry Pi, Arduino compatible) for buliding a railway trains model controller with DCC bus control interface and with algorithms to guarantee to avoid…

    I will probably use Embedded Pi board for this project.

    Thanks, Miki! Which board would you use for that project?

    I have in mind a small project. I want to build small motor driver that is activated as the sun comes out, and opens a sliding door and at sun down it closes the door. It could have a time trigger. If the sensor doesn't detect the sun(cloudy weather) it will open the door in let  say 7AM, or if in the evening it doesn't activate until 8PM it will close the door on time trigger. Next improvement will be with temperature sensor. If it's below range it will activate a heater. Miki
