An I²C Bus powered Arduino IO Expander Board controlled via Bluetooth and Android

An I²C Bus powered Arduino IO Expander Board controlled via Bluetooth and Android

Today we’ll expand Arduino’s digital resources thanks to an I2C bus equipped shield and we’ll allow the management of the board via a bluetooth connection RN-42 through an Android systems. All Arduino boards feature a number of digital I/Os. For the simplest projects, such resources are usually more than sufficient, but in those where they

Using a transistor to control high current loads with an Arduino

Using a transistor to control high current loads with an Arduino

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to control a high-current DC load such as a DC motor or an incandescent light from a microcontroller. (:toc Table of Contents:) Connect a transistor to the microcontroller The transistor allows you to control a circuit that’s carrying higher current and voltage from the microcontroller. It acts as an

Arduino Controlled Physics Lab Fan Cart

Arduino-Controlled Physics Lab Fan-Cart

A “fan cart” is a roughly constant-force device used in introductory physics labs. It consists of a fan (usually a model airplane propeller on a brushed DC motor) mounted on top of a low-friction cart. Students use it to pretend they’re learning something about force, acceleration, energy, etc. If you’ve ever taken an introductory physics

Attiny serial monitor using arduino walkthrough circuit

Attiny serial monitor using arduino walkthrough

Allllllllllright dudes and dudets. Here is whats up, we’re going to make attiny and arduino bestest of friends. If you have ever worked with capacitive switches you know how much it makes you want to smash your face into a wall…Now imagine you have no way to monitor output, well that is what I was

Arduino Digital Selection Pad

Using Copper Tape To Create A Digital Selection Pad using Arduino

This is partially me sharing this technique, and partially me learning how to use Instructables. If there are issues with my documentation of the technique or my use of Instructables, please let me know in the comments – thanks! I needed a long row of switches in a pinch, and didn’t have nearly enough switches

Arduino buttons

Accessing 5 buttons through 1 Arduino pin

I made the original Instructible that this is based on over a year ago (You can see it here to see some of the theory around how this works:http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-access-5-buttons-through-1-Arduino-input ). To make a long story short, I moved to a different country a few weeks after that and have not played with any electronics since.
