Easy, Reversible Motor Control for Arduino (or any Microcontroller) using arduino

CNC Machines Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

This project uses just three main components to provide forward and reverse control for a single motor. You can easily interface it to an Arduino or any other microcontroller. It’s so simple – you can wire it up “free-form” without a circuit board in about 15 minutes. Features: All parts available at Radio Shack for […]

Ollie- a DIY autonomous robotic blimp using arduino

Robotics – Automation Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

Ollie is an open source blimp-based autonomous and ambient robot that dwells in human habitats. Ollie is observant, often flying in a manner suggesting curiosity for the world around him. Ollie reacts to voices by excitedly flapping his wings, communicating his friendliness and eagerness to be noticed. Ollie wants to know about humans and yearns

PS1 Controller Joysticks with Arduino

Game – Entertainment Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

Idea: To take one of my old Playstation 1 controllers and extract the dual thumbstick setup so that it can be easily used in a microcontroller project (in my case: with the Arduino) without extra libraries or drivers that you would need if you want to use the entire controller. Please let me know what

Arduino Binary Die using arduino

LED Projects, Other Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

After buying a Nanode (an Arduino-compatible board with ethernet built-in) last weekend, we’ve been trying to work it out by making a couple of simple examples, the ‘Binary Dice’ is the first one with input and outputs. A note, this code example is based on the one from the book Arduino: A Quick-Start Guide by

At this point we put the Wave shield onto the Arduino and uploaded an example code from Adafruit.

Shaun The Noisy Sheep using arduino

Game – Entertainment Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

Make A “doorbell” using an Arduino Uno, a Wave shield from Adafruit, a small speaker, a plug, a Sharp distance sensor and a Shaun the Sheep. Our Shaun is used in an open doorway to alert store staff when a customer has entered. Step 1: Parts List 1. Wav Shield Party Pack (includes speaker and

Telecran (Etch a Sketch) + Arduino = Telecranduino ! using arduino

CNC Machines Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

I came across a bunch of stepper motors and I have since been looking for a project to do with the kids. An old Telecran (French for Etch-a-Sketch) later, we are in business ! What I used for this project: – an Arduino Uno – 2 stepper motors – 2 easydrivers v44 (by www.sparkfun.com) –

LoL Shield Audio Spectrum VU Meter using arduino

Metering – Instrument Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

This is an audio spectrum VU meter using the LoL Shield for Arduino . The LoL Shield is a 14 x 9 LED matrix which fits onto the Arduino as a shield and is controlled through an efficient method known as Charlieplexing . It was designed by Jimmie P. Rodgers . This project uses a

The TROBOT 3.0 was made from ABS with a few minor tweaks to the design. ABS was chosen because it is a durable and very tough plastic and can be chemically welded bonded to form tough glue joints.

TROBOT: A Miniature Articulated Robot using arduino

Robotics – Automation Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

The TROBOT is a miniature six-axis articulated robot, modeled after large industrial & assembly line robots. The prototype versions were developed to be interfaced with ABB’s Robot Studio software. Robot Studio was designed to program, simulate, and debug real industrial robots in an offline virtual environment. This project uses the power of ABB’s ‘Virtual Robot Controller’

Jetson/Tutorials/GPIO using arduino

Other Project Ideas / By Ibrar Ayyub

Quickly testing a GPIO pin To set pin GPIO_PH1 as an output: sudo su (Enter your user password. Defaults to “ubuntu”) # See which pins are currently configured as GPIO, and what their state is. cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio # Validate that the entry for the Tegra GPIO controller has a base value of 0. If not,
