Hi Romsys, I had used the OSC app for iPhone connected to Wi-Fi, then a computer on the same network running a processing sketch, connected to the RGBW Controller. You can find the processing sketch I used here: http://thecustomgeek.com/files/RGBW_Controler.pde Make sure you load the Standard Firmata sketch on the RGBW Controller, it is in Examples, Firmata, Standard Firmata.

Hi Vilts, this post got stuck in a spam filter! The values are 18pF for the caps on the crystal, and .1µF for the reset cap. The crystal being used is an Abracon ABM3B-16.000MHZ-B2-T.

Hi Jeremy, I have succesfully made the RGBW-kit. I’m looking for the possibility to control it by my Android-things. I prefer a version for bluetooth.
Do You have any apps, software or tips for this?

Many thanks

Very nice info here, thanks for sharing and making it available! Is there a chance you could post the capacitor and resistor values for the “One Sq Inch” Arduino project? And what kind of crystal is used there?

Hi Bill, the Eagle files are the files used by the CAD program to make the boards. There is a free version of Eagle, and it’s cross platform (Windows, Mac, & Linux). You can learn more and download Eagle here: http://www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/?language=en

Eagle is the program a lot of people and companies use to design PCB’s, I love it, and use it almost every day.

Hey Jeremy, I am a newbie to Arduino. I have built 40 or 50 circuits with it, but I just can’t figure out what the Eagle files are. I have done many searches but it keeps throwing the Eagle files back to me from the Arduino site and they don’t tell you anything about them. Could you explain what they are.
Thanks

Hi Jeremy! Any chance you can post the schematics for the GPS project?

Thanks!

btw for my clothes dryer idea i have a thread going on at arduino forum, i could use all the help i can get. the “final” “product” will be documented so that others can copy it freely. or they can have me put together something.

yeah i have that line

i was just confused i guess… somewhere i read to comment out the line…. but i was wrong i see

but how do i define the pin out? done an gsm remote before so i know a bit arduino but still “green”

on a side note… how hard would you think it would be to use the OS to control a clothes drier? i still have to order the screen but i have a 2560 mega and refly wifi shield… thought it would be cool to also have wifi access. in the end i would like to be able to make a “kit” of some kind, the goal would be to use variable heat control to minimize the overshoot of poweruse and maybe reduce the heat and run for longer to save money…

Thanks Chris, I actually used a gadget I made to convert the colors here: http://thecustomgeek.com/2011/06/21/dual-boot-led-control-rgb-to-hex-converter/

But I also have a 2.8″ TFT LCD version demoed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFgouSrsiYQ
Code for that is here – UPDATED! – : https://github.com/jersagfast/8-8-8-RGB-to-5-6-5-RGB-Color-Converter

Further, there is a Visual C# 2010 program here: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=21536

Hope this helps!
