Arduino – Control a DC motor with TIP120, potentiometer and multiple power supplies

A simple diagram demonstrating how to regulate the velocity of a DC motor using a potentiometer connected to your Arduino device. Additionally demonstrates the method of utilizing a TIP120 transistor for enabling the Arduino to manage a more powerful power source. Transistors consist of 3 pins, with the third pin (Base) enabling control of the […]

Steam Linked Display Shelf

LED Projects / By Tismail

Back Story My brother has Funko POP figures that represent his characters that his friends play most often in video games. We thought that it would be cool if they had a display case that would have LEDs in it to represent their status on Steam. So with my previous experience with Arduino, Steam API,

Upright Laser Harp

Other Projects / By Tismail

Laser harps are musical devices with laser beam “strings.” When the beam is blocked, a note is played by the instrument. Usually laser harps have the beams travel vertically in the shape of a fan or vertical lines. In this project, I built a laser harp with stacked laser beams that propagate horizontally. The beams

Excellent starter kit for people interested in learning about Arduino

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

Arduino is an easy-to-learn prototyping platform that lets you create interactive electronic projects. This Arduino compatible kit is the one I recommend to people who ask me how to get started. The reason I recommend it is because it’s very cheap and it has a bunch of components that would cost a lot more if you were

MULTIPLE DIMMING ISOLATED PWM CONTROLLER FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE LED LIGHTING

News & Updates / By Tismail

Diodes Incorporated announced the availability of the versatile dimming input controller for offline LED lamps. AL8116 works with three types of dimmer signal formats: 0 to 10 V dimming voltage PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal Simple potentiometer It converts these to a PWM output signal which can easily be used to provide an isolated dimming control via an

Analogue Sensors – Calculate the Nonlinearity Introduced by a Load or Pull Down Resistor

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Have you ever had that terrible feeling that adding a load resistor or ‘pull down’ to your sensor is messing up all your analogue readings? Maybe you’re wondering why we’d want to spoil a perfectly good circuit by putting in a load resistor at all? For many years I found that I would get strange,

Building a DIY Digital Voltmeter with Arduino: A Beginner’s Guide

Development Board – Kits Projects / By Ibrar Ayyub

Creating a straightforward digital voltmeter with an Arduino and a 16×2 liquid crystal display (LCD) is a straightforward process. Measuring voltages with an Arduino is relatively uncomplicated. The Arduino provides multiple analog input pins that link to an internal analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The Arduino ADC, which is a ten-bit converter, produces output values ranging from

LEARN SAILING MECHANICS WITHOUT LEAVING DRY LAND

Arduino News / By Ibrar Ayyub

The ancient art of sailing can be very intimidating for the uninitiated given the shifty nature of wind. To help understand the interaction of wind direction and board orientation, [KifS] designed a hands-on sailing demonstrator that lets students grasp the basics before setting foot on a real sailboat. The demonstrator uses a potentiometer as a tiller to
