Hi all, I would like to know if it is possible to embed a multimeter onto any arduino? Or simply is there a way to load functions of a multimeter to an arduino?
Here is the video I made at the conclusion of the Holiday of Internet Lights RoadTest! Hope you enjoy it! It was a great learning experience that certainly got me hooked on the world of Arduino and I'm looking forward to learning a lot mo...
Preface: I was not expecting to soldier the headers on the Infineon shield. So I went out to buy a soldier kit. I even got helping hands with magnifying glass. But I realized that with no skills here I was fighting an up...
This post is one my last on the Internet of Holiday Lights RoadTest. It has been quite the journey for me! When I started I barely knew what Arduino was and now I hope I have someone improved on that understanding. First off, thank you so much to the...
Gotcha! Massive thank you to Mr Peter Oakes. I'm pretty certain we all owe him a massive thank you for his sportsmanship in this competition. If it wasn't for him i would never have completed this roadtest at all and so I am extremely grateful a...

I have some new toys to add to my arsenal of kit! Along with a Pi camera I received two nice little additions to my box of bits. I now have a Ethernet shield and a Yun. Not sure how to pronounce Yun; should it be similar to gun? Or maybe similar to s...
