This project describes a whole house energy monitor that provides quick access to current energy use information, usb datalogging for detailed long term data storage and Internet connectivity for online graphing. The display unit uses four seven-segment LED displays that shows real power, apparent power, power factor, RMS voltage, RMS current, frequency and cumulative KWH consumed.

This is an Arduino powered 24-hour digital clock that uses the RTC chip DS1307 for timekeeping. DS1307 has a small battery backup so that it keeps the correct time even the rest of the circuit is not powered. The time is displayed on 5×7 LED dot matrix. The ATMEGA168 controller and the rest of the circuit is powered by a 9 volt 650 mA power supply with a LM7805 regulator IC.

This tutorial describes how to use a pressure sensor with an Arduino board. The sensor used is BMP085, which is a high-precision, ultra-low power barometric pressure sensor for use in advanced mobile applications. It offers superior performance with an absolute accuracy of down to 0.03 hPa and using very low power consumption down to 3 µA. The BMP08 accepts 1.8 to 3.6 Volts and supports I2C interface.

If you are looking a wireless communication between two Arduino modules, this project might be helpful. It uses low costs RF transmitter and receiver from Sparkfun to establish a radio link between the Arduino boards up to 500 ft. Data can be transferred serially at the maximum rate of 2400 bps. The author provides details on hardware and application software.

This tutorial describes how to control multiple servos with an Arduino module interfaced to a PC through serial port. The application program on the PC is written in Python script that gives control commands to the Arduino module. The Arduino module receives the commands through its serial input and then moves each servo to its commanded position. The hardware part consists of an Arduino module, four JR Sport ST47 standard servos, and a breadboard to prototype the circuit.
