Add server functionality to a board to display a web page on another computer and receive commands transmitted from the browser on the local WiFi network or remotely
Description:
Used in to provide wireless connectivity for other projects, for example to download data, monitor status, control fans, motors, etc.
Various WiFi shields or dedicated Arduino boards could be used.

Solar heat flow system - proposal
Description:
Simple control unit that monitors a temperature difference and controls speed and direction of a fan
Usage scenarios:
1. Measuring temperatures in two rooms and switching fan to push air from warmer to cooler room (or vice versa). Temperature history is recorded for analysis. Status can be monitored at any time (Paul, Peter, ?)
2. Controlling fan in passive solar air heater to switch on when manifold temperature exceeds indoor temperature. Temperature history is recorded for analysis. (Paul, ?)
Specifications
Temperature sensors:
2, type?
Distance from unit?
Fan:
240V, DC?
Variable speed?
Direction control?
Flow rate, wattage
Data interface:
USB:
Output as spreadsheet file?
Optional Wireless? Web server for data output, status and control
Please use the comments to suggest possible features or ideas for this design.

Workshop 1: introduction to the Arduino
Date: 2pm Saturday August 14
Venue: URS Offices,
Convenor: Paul Fritze
This workshop was a followup from the June Project night in which interest in the Ardunio micro controller was apparent. It provided an opportunity for those interested in applying it in their home projects for hands-on experience of setting up and programming the board.
We were very lucky to have Ashley, Arduino enthusiast extraordinaire, who showed examples of many different processor & add-on boards and sensors.
Hopefully the thirteen people who attended the workshop gained some inspiration!
Thanks go to Mike and URS for providing the venue.
