This is a quick announcement that SquareWear 2.0 is now available for purchase at SeeedStudio.com. This is great news for customers living outside of the US, because SeeedStudio offers excellent and low-cost international shipping options.
Continuing from Part 1 and Part 2, this is the third and last post about how I reverse engineered a few off-the-shelf wireless temperature, humidity, and rain sensors, and used an Arduino to listen to and decode the sensor data. Update: RPi is also supported now! Check the provided programs at the end of this […]
