MICO Shield for Arduino
MICO Shield make it easy for Arduino users to create projects using cell phones. MICO can answer and place calls, present caller with voice prompt and accept touch tone commands.
MICO connects to a cell phone via audio jack and it has circuits to detect and answer calls. It then uses pre-recorded voice prompts to present information and options to callers, and touch-tone telephone keypad entry to gather responses. Responses can then be used to control lights, motors and other actuators, and get readings of temperature, wind speed, proximity and other sensors. The caller can be just a few feet or hundreds of miles away!
MICO is an acronym for Mobile Interactive voice response & COntrol. The word Mico in Portuguese means small monkey. It’s pronounced “mee co”.
Description
Description:
The MICO Shield makes it easy for you to create an Arduino project that interfaces with a cell phone. The Arduino &cell phone interface unlock a whole new world of possibilities: projects where your Arduino can place phone and receive phone calls.
An example of aMICO project is where it receivesa phone call and presents the caller with a voice prompt: “press 1 for lights on”. MICO can then decode the caller’s button press and take action, in this case turn an output on. Of course everything is customizable: MICO has a microSD card slot so you can store your own voice and all MICO libraries and sketches are open source, free to download and hack.
MICO interfaces to a cell phone’s 3.5mm audio jack. MICO has no build-in cell module or antenna. Because of that, MICO provide some key advantages:
- Universal:can work on ANY cell network over the world! GSM, CDMA, TDMA, analog…
- Rich features:can utilize new features cell phones have. For example: on the iPhone, MICO can say commands to SIRI such as “post to twitter: temperature is 70degrees”. (of course, you could instead just use an old phonefor basic function)
- Simple:no need to learn complicated AT commands. Phone is controlled just with Answer/End Call Button and voice out of the microSD card.
- Perfect for quick/temporary projects:no need to buy GSM card just to run a quick demo project. Just plug in your own/friend’s phone. No need to tear it open to grab the card, or hack its software.
Project Examples:
There are tons of projects you can create with MICO, few examples are mentioned below;
- Make MICO call to report temperature. On your own voice!
- Use as a simple audio player

(Get A latest Price)
The Arduino Ethernet Shield allows an Arduino board to connect to the internet. It is based on the Wiznet W5100 ethernet chip providing a network (IP) stack capable of both TCP and UDP. The Arduino Ethernet Shield supports up to four simultaneous socket connections. Use the Ethernet library to write sketches which connect to the internet via a standard RJ45 Ethernet jack using the shield.
Arduino Shield RAMPS-FD for Arduino Due 3D printer controller
When you use Arduino Due as the controller of your 3D Printer, you may find the RAMPS1.4 is not compatible with DUE.As you know the Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3, the importance is the Atmel SAM3X8E chip used on the Due operates at 3.3V,worse applying 5V to the Due's inputs will likely damage the chip.
So we create a new RAMPS variant which is compatible with the Due to replace Ramps 1.4.
