Here's a list of projects currently on www.myblueroom.com
I'd like your feedback on which one I should start coding first or even just comments on your favourite project.
Almost all projects can be built with many variations, see the schematics for details.
Cricket Communicating Thermostat (currently the most popular)
RS232 or RS485 operation
2 Digit LED with 8 zone status
16x2 LCD display
4 pushbuttons
Relay
I2C thermostat
iButton thermostat
IR Receiver
switch selectable addressing (I2C only)
HVAC control
zoneable operation
Ladybug Super I/O Controller (can be used as HVAC controller with Cricket)
RS232 & RS485 operation
additional secondary RS232 option
Realtime clock with powerfail backup
iButton support
4 switch or GP inputs (1 Analog or digital)
6 Relay outputs
Open collector with PWM output
can use high powered PIC18F2525 or standard 16F876A
Armadillo iButton / Keypad Door Lock with H-Bridge
12 button keypad
iButton reader with LED
2 Status LEDs
H-Bridge can drive small DC motor or two solenoids 1A max
Clock calender option with battery backup 10yrs
EEPROM upgrade for use as a hotel lock or chronolock
remote 1wire lock request (can also be used a an open closed sensor)
exit switch option
buzzer
Owl iButton Five Zone Security System
A simple to build project to demostrate what can be done with 6 I/O lines
uses 1wire serial numbers DS2401 for zones (Armadillo lock can also be a zone)
tamper switch and iButton reader
Relay output
5 zone status LEDs
1 armed LED
1 alarm LED
panic switch
Fox RS232 to RS485 with IR and iButton options
can be powered from RS232 port
uses DS1402D1 iButton reader
defaults to 9600 baud, higher bauds do not support iButton / IR options
Panda RS485 Motor Controller
uses L293 motor controller
4 switch inputs
switch selectable address
can also drive 4 relays (instead of motors)
can also drive a stepper motor
Koloa Same as Panda but with 4 relays instead of L293 (not currently posted)
Yetti RS485 to Relay controller (simple)
Snake Digital Dice (pair of electronic dice)
nice beginner project
auto power off
works great with a tilt switch
Zebra 6 Digit Charlieplexed RS485 Clock with Relay & IR
Beetle RS232 / RS485 IR Remote / Temperature
IR Receiver & Transmitter (38.4 kHz)
I2C temperature sensor
Datalogger option EEPROM
Opps forgot to add the Beetle to the Poll
On the drawing board
Tug of war, a PIC12C508 two push buttons & 7 LEDs in a tug of war
