Résumé :
Il est possible de déterminer la température ambiante en écoutant les grillons.

Détails :
C’est Amos Dolbear, physicien américain, qui en 1897 fit le lien entre la fréquence du chant des grillons et la température ambiante en établissant “la loi de Dolbear”. La formule mathématique qui établit une température en degrés Celsius est la suivante : N+5 où N est le nombre de stridulations en 8 secondes. Convertie pour les degrés Fahrenheit la formule change : N+40 où N est le nombre de stridulations en 15 secondes. Si la fréquence des stridulations peut varier en fonction de l’âge de l’insecte, cette méthode demeure relativement fiable.

The Arduino development team’s release of the new Arduino 1.0.1 IDE includes the big ticket items of Arduino Leonardo board support and translation into 32 languages.  However, a number of other features and bug fixes are included in this release. The following are some highlights from the 1.0.1 release notes.

Faster Compiles

The IDE now reuses compiled object files, when possible, to decrease compilation time. This includes the files which are pulled in through includes and by the IDE, so it can lead to some dramatic improvements (using the blink sketch, I saw re-compile time drop by about half).  No special actions are required to see this speed improvement.

Faster Code Uploads

The Preferences dialog now includes the option to disable verification on upload in order to decrease upload times. On my sample sketch, this trimmed upload time by roughly a third.  You can edit the Preferences dialog by selecting the Arduino menu, then clicking the Preferences… menu item.  Uncheck the Verify code after upload checkbox and click OK to see the speed increase.

The Return of Wire.write(0)

The Wire library now contains overloaded methods to support calling Wire.write(0) without needing to typecast the parameter.  This addresses a breaking change which was introduced in the 1.0 release.

Find / Replace Enhancements

The Find / Replace system has added the ability to find previous when searching. This can be accessed through the Find dialog, menu items, or keyboard shortcuts. The dialog has gone through some visual cleanup and now sports a checkbox option to wrap the search when it reaches the end of the document.  The Find dialog can be reached by selecting the Edit menu and clicking the Find… menu item.

Improved Accessibility for Serial Monitor and Log Panel

Changing the editor font size in the preferences dialog also changes the font size in the serial monitor and message console. You can edit the Preferences dialog by selecting the Arduino menu, then clicking the Preferences… menu item.  Change the text value for the Editor font size text box, click OK, and restart the IDE to see the font change.

Intelligent Text Selection

The IDE has gained some additional smarts when selecting text. To see this in action, double click on a word and start dragging the mouse. The selection will grow and shrink on word boundaries. Triple click before dragging and the selection grows and shrinks on line boundaries.

Enabling / Disabling Internal Pull-Up Resistors

The implementation of pinMode has changed in this release in regards to how the internal pull-up resistors are handled. Setting pinMode to INPUT now has the side effect of disabling the pull-up resistor. The new constant, INPUT_PULLUP, can be passed to pinMode to enable the pull-up resistor when setting the pin as an input. http://dlvr.it/1cnzZ3 #Daily_Inspiration

The Tesla Gun is a hand-held, battery powered lightning machine. It is a spark gap Tesla coil powered by an 18V drill battery. You pull the trigger, and lightning comes out the front.

It is functionally inferior to that of Tesla’s design in the Five Fists in a few important respects. Notably, it is a bit longer and heavier than Tesla’s own. It also cannot (yet) create an ion wind strong enough to cushion the user when leaping from a four story building.

On the other hand, my design is an improvement in two important respects: 1) It is battery powered, and 2) It actually exists.

A wallpaper to protect its Wi-Fi.

Researchers in Grenoble have had an original idea: to prevent a Wi-Fi network from being hacked, with a wallpaper insulation, which no longer allows waves to leave the apartment. Other utilities may be found in such technology, such as protection of sensitive individuals to electromagnetism.

The article (translated) says the wallpaper is designed to allow phone frequencies in and out. http://dlvr.it/1cnzWG #Daily_Inspiration

In 2009, the head of the Roads Department of Georgia commissioned J. Mayer H. to design a system of 20 rest stops for the new highway, a thoroughfare that will run through Georgia and serve as a connection between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Turkey. Two rest stops are now complete, while a third is currently under construction.

section

The new rest stops are located on selected scenic viewpoints along the route and serve as activators for their area and neighbouring cities, including not only nearby a gas stations and supermarket, but also a farmers market and a cultural space for local arts and crafts.

Head of the Roads Department of Georgia / J. Mayer H originally appeared on ArchDaily, the most visited architecture website on 25 May 2012.

Check out this awesome Kickstarter project by the same guys that worked with Ladyada to develop the Drawdio.  Take a MaKey MaKey controller, connect up some alligator clips to just about anything conductive, and interact with your computer and the internet.

Alligator Clip two objects to the MaKey MaKey board. For example, you and an apple.

When you touch the apple, you make a connection, and MaKey MaKey sends the computer a keyboard message. The computer just thinks MaKey MaKey is a regular keyboard (or mouse). Therefore it works with all programs and webpages, because all programs and webpages take keyboard and mouse input.

Make + Key = MaKey MaKey!
