We’re proud to announce the release of a new Android game, that we’ve been developing for quite some time: Super Time Bomb.

There are a few ways to schedule tasks to run periodically, from building our own scheduler in whatever language we want, to use chroniker in Django, or even use the built-in cron utility in Unix systems.

However, I found out that Jenkins is quite good with that, even though that is not its main objective as CI system. These are the advantages of Jenkins over cron.

There are tons of tutorials on the internet about sending and receiving values via radio or comunicating Arduinos and Rapsberrys, most of them are too complex or they are incomplete (missing schemas or code). In this post we just want to show a simple and minimalistic way to do so with simple and cheap components using two nRF24L01 (RF24 from now on) radio modules (one in an Arduino, and the other in a Raspberry).

For our next project (which we will reveal soon), we have been working with the Raspberry Pi for building some sort of meteorological station. That piece of hardware will contain the following features:

• Light sensor
• Temperature sensor
• Soil humidity sensor
• Water pump
