The Vinculum board is controlled using DOS commands and so every time you send a command if the command is executed successfully the board sends a D:> response that indicates its ready for the next command. If you try and send commands faster than the Vinculum board takes to execute them and don`t wait until after the Vinculum board has sent the D:> ready for new command response, I

found I would get errors in the data stored and it would sometimes crash. To solve this the arduino sketch code listens for a response from the Vinculum board after it sends each command, if it receives D:> which I`ve called the ok response then it can go on to send the next command. If it receives No disk it stops trying to write to a non existent disk and waits until a disk is inserted and the start write button is pressed. Just a simple start/stop write button. To start writing you hold the button down for 2s and the led comes on to indicate writing. To stop writing you hold it down again for 2s and the led turns off. If the arduino wait for `ok` response code receives a `no disk` response. The led is automatically turned off. The arduino sketch here works with the board independently of any of the other energy monitor hardware and code. It will just write the values set in the variable declaration to the board as an example. I have my arduino connected with the ethernet shield to internet to upload values to mysql database each 10 seconds, but sometimes it crashes and it goes offline, i loose all the data for that time. I would like to save that data to the usb so that later i can update the mysql database with the missing data.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
