People who work in technology often spend many hours at the computer, which can make it difficult to maintain good posture. I’ve been advised by a physical therapist to keep my chest high with my head and neck upright. The problem is that fatigue tends to make me slouch. Then my neck is out of alignment, […]

By Mike Dodaro, translated by Marco Minerva from the original English version Le schede XBee hanno un costo estramamente contenuto e possono essere integrate in qualsiasi tipo di device. Il loro raggio di funzionamento supera quello delle connessioni Bluetooth. L’articolo Zigbee Networking with XBee Series 2 and Seeed’s Products fornisce una rapida introduzione alle funzionalità di XBee. Il libro di Robert Faludi intitolato Building Wireless […]

XBee radios are inexpensive and they can be embedded in all kinds of devices. XBees can be networked so that a failure of one radio does not impar communication between and among others in the network. Their range exceeds that of Bluetooth connections. The article Zigbee Networking with XBee Series 2 and Seeed’s Products provides a quick overview of XBee […]

Data is often persisted in text files as comma separated values. This kind of data can be viewed and analyzed by Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet software. Applications based on the .NET Micro Framework and .NET Gadgeteer can easily save data in this format using a module such as the GHI Electronics SD Card module. […]

This is a second iteration on the device using a Seeed accelerometer as posture sensor that sends alerts when the user’s posture lapses from the position desirable for working extended periods in the seated position. The previous version used a buzzer on a relay circuit as an alert. It produced a sound that could drive one to distraction. This version uses a LED that simply […]

Here’s an example that graphically displays data from the Seeed Gyro module for .NET Gadgeteer. The GHI Electronics Display_T35 module displays the output. Plug the Gyro module into Socket 3. Connect the display module and a button in the .NET Gadgeteer designer, but do not connect the optional touch-screen cable to Socket 10. Apparently the touch screen is incompatible with the Seeed Gyro and […]
