Jeremy Blum @ BlueStamp Engineering - "Open Sourcing your Projects"

[SparkyDvip]

Ever think about doing an epsoid on whriting a program to display your arduino data on the computer?

[sciguy14]

@SparkyDvip I've already done that in several of my arduino tutorials, as well as other projects that I've put on youtube and my blog.

The future IS Open Source. >:)

Jeremy why you no used Linux?

at less in your tutorials you're always using Windows

I mean, it's ok, but I just ask about

[sciguy14]

@Luzbeloco I use linux for development sometimes as well. But I need windows to edit the videos together, so I use it for the project videos.

Jeremy, when are you getting to remote control of arduino? - i think your tutorials are great.. now, if only you could control an arduino(s) with a remote, you could make some cheap automated window blinds or other cool stuff.

@Anima87 its easy! you can get a infrared receiver for next to nothing. check out on the arduino site

arduino.cc(slash)playground(sl­ash)Code(slash)InfraredReceive­rs

@djtowo Might be easy, but i have no experience.. I'm not an electronics guy. I just watch these vids to get ideas for projects. What i don't know is how to display/obtain the RC5 codes from a remote i want to use and if i need an arduino + xbee shield per window or if there is something more clever if i want to automate all windowblinds in my house.

@Anima87 If it were me, I'd put your arduino on your ethernet network, and control it with an iphone, or android app or webapp.

[Anima87]

@sciguy14 That would be cool, but i don't know how to make an app or webapp.. but it would be nice if i could use both an app and a universal remote.

How difficult would this be as a project?

[sciguy14]

@Anima87 Shouldn't be too hard.. there are lots of materials online

[Insignificantful]

I <3 Open Source.

[sciguy14]

@Insignificantful Me too :)

@Insignificantful how don't !!!
