The Arduino reads temperature from a MCP9700 temperature sensor IC and displays the temperature in the Arduino IDE serial monitor window. Also see the Arduino LCD thermometer tutorial (tutorial 14). Prerequisites Complete Tutorial 9: Using the Arduino Serial Port before attempting this tutorial. Components Besides an Arduino Uno board, USB cable, wire links and a breadboard, you will need: […]
The Arduino Uno can send data (such as a text message) to the PC over the USB cable. The Arduino IDE has a serial monitor window that can be opened and will receive and display the data sent from the Arduino board. Data can also be sent to the Arduino board from the serial monitor. […]
A two transistor circuit that flashes two LEDs on and off alternately. Prerequisites Complete tutorial two – Transistor Timer before attempting this tutorial. Components In addition to an electronic breadboard, wire links, a 9V battery and a battery clip, you will need: QTY PART DESIGNATOR NOTES TYPE 2 22k resistors (red – red – orange) R2, R3 […]
A very easy tutorial that uses only two components. The Arduino plays a short melody on a loudspeaker. The program to load to the Arduino is one of the programs that is built into the Arduino IDE. Prerequisites Complete tutorial 3 – Starting with Arduino and its prerequisites before attempting this tutorial. Components Besides an […]
How’s the world feeling right now? This box tells you. Powered by: an Arduino, a WiFly wireless module, an RGB LED, Twitter.com and a 9v battery. I’m a news junkie. I want to know everything that is going on in the world as soon as it happens. I want to wake up and know immediately […]
In this tutorial, eight LEDs are interfaced to the Arduino Uno board. This is not complicated – it is just like interfacing a single LED to the Arduino as done in tutorial 3, but eight times over. A program is then loaded to the Arduino that will turn the eight LEDs into a “Knight rider” […]
In this tutorial you will connect a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to the Arduino Uno and then run the Arduino LCD example programs that are built into the Arduino IDE. Prerequisites It is recommended for beginners to complete all the Arduino tutorials up to and including Tutorial 10: Ten Arduino Projects for Absolute Beginners. Read […]
In this tutorial, a temperature sensor (MCP9700 linear active thermistor IC) and LCD are connected to the Arduino. The Arduino reads the temperature from the MCP9700 on analog pin A0 and displays the temperature on the LCD. This video shows the circuit operating. When touched with a finger, the temperature sensor IC will measure an […]
This example shows how to simulate a simple closed-loop control algorithm in Simulink and how to run it on an Arduino Mega 2560 board. Contents Introduction Prerequisites Required Hardware Task 1 – Build the Vehicle Task 2 – Build the Motor Controller Task 3 – Simulate Open-Loop Control Model Task 4 – Run Open-Loop Control […]
Like many people, I often find myself unconsciously tapping my feet, whether it’s along to a song or out of some nervous habit. As fun as that is though, I’ve always felt as if something has been missing. If only I could trigger the sounds of say, a rabid pack of furious jungle beasts instead […]
