OK, this is not a fully autonomous “get you a beer, open it for you and then tweet about it” robodog (yet 😉 but if you’re itching to get past the blinky lights on a breadboard stage with your Arduino and you’re ten or know somebody that’s ten this might appeal to you. This is […]

For an upcoming project I needed a pneumatic ram with a closed loop control system so I could position it accurately. Didn’t have the budget for an off the shelf solution, so I bodged one together with an ardunio, a couple air solenoid valves, and a pair of potentiometers. How it works is one potentiometer […]

An h-bridge is a chip that allows DC motors to be run versatile, with bidirectional capability. With an H-bridge, motors can go forward or backward, left or right, up or down, etc, depending on the use of the motor(s) in the circuit. Without a microcontroller, the only way to be able to control an H-bridge […]

This drawing will display RF power and SWR readings from any SWR bridge, such as the ‘monimatch’ type. Since this type of bridge, called ‘monimatch,’ varies with frequency, the meter needs to be adjusted for each bandwidth. My main focus was on VHF/UHF/SHF, so I had planned for 6m, 4m, 2m, 70 cm, 23cm, and […]

The other day I wanted to experiment with external triggers for my Canon EOS 550D camera. I stumpled upon a nice open source project called Arduino Camera Control from Oleg Mazurov, the creator of the USB Host Shield library for Arduino. The Arduino Camera Control project depends on the USB Host Shield library and the […]

THE SETUP For an interface I thought 3 LEDs would be simple enough: Blue for everything is fine (as blue LEDs are cooler than green ones); red for something is wrong; and yellow for the modem and router are being restarted. I added a button to do the actual restarting as I wanted it to […]

This program will allow adjust the speed of a blinking LED with analog input. Follow this patch to connect a potentiometer to your Arduino board. Then put an the long lead of an LED in pin 13 of your digital in/out, and the short lead in Ground. /* * AnalogInput * by DojoDave <http://www.0j0.org> * […]

How does the security alarm circuit works? When power is turned on, the circuit goes into standby mode, and this condition is indicated by “SECURITY ALARM” in the LCD screen.Note that here a N/O reedswitch + bar magnet combination is used to detect any mishaps, and hence the reed switch should be in “closed”state at […]

Web site: http://www.instructables.com/id/Human-Body-Infrared-Smoke-Temperature-Alarm-System/ Project Summary: The Human Body Infrared Smoke Temperature Alarm System works under the DC 5v voltage and uses the DH11 Temperature Module to detect the room temperature. When the module detects the temperature is higher than the maximum, the buzzer alarms and the red LED lights. When the MQ2 Smoke Sensor detects […]

A line follower robot using 8051 microcontroller is already published here and this time the same thing is done using  arduino. This line follower robot is basically designed to follow a black line on a white surface. Any way the same project can be used to follow the opposite configuration with appropriate changes in the […]
