Silicon Chip March 2015

In this month’s Silicon Chip Magazine, build a professional Weather Station using a Arduino Nano board. This weather station is loaded with features and can monitor wind, rain, pressure, humidity and of course temperature. Parts are readily available and the system can connect directly with your computer, for remote access and storing of data. Also this month, build a Touch Shield for your Arduino board. This shield features three capacitive touch buttons, as well as a touch slider, that works by simply running your finger over the pcb. The unit is easy to build and plugs directly into your Arduino board.

Finally, this month the second part of the very attractive 6-Digit Nixie Clock Project, the detailed construction instructions are provided as well as the manual for the operation of the clock. All projects come complete with circuit diagram and electronic parts list.

In this month’s features, an in-depth look at IP Security Cameras, learn how to set-up, install and access the camera from anywhere through the Internet. The first section covers a wide range of cameras available, the options of each camera and which camera to select for a particular application. The second part of the article, covers setting up the camera for WiFi and Internet access, as well as sending alarm meassages by email or to your phone. Also this month a look at the new QA400 Stereo Audio Analyser, this unit offers 24-bit sampling and is ideal for testing audio equipment.
