Arduino and raspberry pi projects blog.

Portable prototype project board Here is my main prototyping project board. Complete with 12Vdc (external) power supply section with interface and six circuit fuse block, ground bar not in yet. Local storage snap lid for small parts. field logic interface T strip, MCU interface T strip (replacing 6 term with full strip) with fabric padded, non conductive MCU or Raspberry Pi laydown area. and 3 breadboards of playground area with a mini breadboard for the RPI interface installed on laptop board). Portable for field testing.

Laptop prototype project board This is my small more portable (laptop) project board. For smaller projects and very field testable. This one is more for incremental design blocks.

Smart home flagship project.

Here is a peek at my smart home system. It will constist of fire, security , automation, and surveillance systems. With a Raspberry Pi as master with 5-7" touchscreen and an array of Arduino micro controllers handling the tasks on the mechanical level. May have bio-metric credentials or RFID, with keypad backup. Will have solar charged UPS system.

A simple dinrail mount for Uno using terminal block double back taped to clear area of board. Will need 90 degree headers to get the I/Os out of array when packed in.
